MIT Sloan professor Eric So explores how AI can reshape human cognitive development and workplace skills — and how to use it to strengthen our thinking — in his new book, The Collision.
In his new book, MIT Sloan School of Management professor Eric So examines the ways AI is reshaping human cognition and offers advice on protecting your uniquely human skills while using AI.
Professor Eric So joined "Varney & Co." to discuss how relying heavily on artificial intelligence can lead to cognitive decline and the risks of students outsourcing critical thinking to platforms like ChatGPT.
News about a company's earnings for the quarter will always mention whether it beat analysts' predictions. Sell-side analysts at brokerages and investment banks who follow these companies are the ones setting these expectations, said professor Eric So. "Data providers like FactSet, Bloomberg, and LSEG average those forecasts into a consensus estimate. That consensus is the benchmark people mean when they say a company beat or missed," So explained.
In this broadcast interview, Professor Eric So said: "Many people refer to this era as something of a technological shift or adoption, and to me those words are too orderly, too gentle. Much of what we're seeing in this era of AI is a new wave of technology hitting everywhere all at once. While it's changing so much of what we can do, it's also changing who we are as thinkers. So, the title of my new book, 'The Collision,' is really about this high-impact moment that is reshaping the nature of who we are."
People consistently rated human advisers as more competent than AI advisers when evaluating who could best solve their problem across domains that included financial, technological, medical, and career advice, according to a study by professor Eric So and co-authors. But that situation changed once shame entered the picture. That preference reversed when a client's problem would require them to reveal embarrassing information.
