AI's Impact on Cognitive Abilities - AI's increasing reliance is linked to diminished critical thinking abilities due to reduced deep reflective thinking [7] - AI hallucinations, with legal queries showing hallucination rates of 60% to 80%, hinder problem-solving and communication skills [8][9] - Using AI for decision-making can decrease brain functions related to questioning assumptions and generating alternative solutions [15][16] - Cognitive offloading, delegating mental tasks to machines, can weaken cognitive abilities in the long run [18] Human Intelligence vs AI - Human intelligence integrates reasoning, problem-solving, memory, language, perception, creativity, and pattern recognition [12] - AI exhibits functional creativity but lacks the emotional depth, contextual understanding, and interdisciplinary thinking of human creativity [14] - World Economic Forum lists creativity as a top 5 skill needed to succeed in 2025 [15] Neuroplasticity and Mitigation Strategies - Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt, and whether AI alters brain structure depends on active engagement with data [22] - Actively assessing AI outputs maintains brain activity, while passively consuming them decreases cognitive functions [23][24] - Reading high-quality literature enhances empathy, critical thinking, and creativity [26] - The average human attention span has shrunk to 825% seconds as of 2015, shorter than a goldfish's 9 seconds [30]

[Music] Right. Before I begin my presentation, quick show of hands. How many of you have followed an order in the past 24 hours. Hands up if you have followed any sort of order.Right. Hands down. Now take a moment to think what was the order.I have a shocking statistic for you all today that reveals some disturbing nature about humans. Did you know that 65% people were willing to shock a stranger. That came from Mgrim's 1963 experiment.It was considered controversial as he studied how ordinary people would ...

Strategic Thinking in the Age of AI - The speaker argues for the power of "slow thinking" to maintain a strategic edge in an age dominated by fast-paced technology and AI [2][3][4] - The speaker emphasizes the importance of framing problems strategically, advocating for a "strategy-first" approach rather than a "tech-first" approach [5][6] - The speaker warns against the "illusion of certainty" that AI can create, and suggests intellectual curiosity as a way to challenge assumptions and maintain critical thinking [8][9][13] Leadership and Management - The speaker questions the role of leaders and managers if AI increasingly handles strategic thinking, emphasizing the need to redefine their value [2][9] - The speaker suggests that leaders should focus on asking the right questions and challenging assumptions, rather than blindly following AI-generated solutions [6][10] - The speaker highlights the importance of maintaining critical thinking skills and not being led by AI, but rather leading with AI [6] AI Usage and Impact - The speaker notes that generative AI usage is above 80%, with people using it for critical and analytical thinking [1] - The speaker cautions against over-reliance on AI, comparing it to a drug that can lead to a void in strategic thinking when absent [7] - The speaker suggests that intellectual curiosity can be complementary to AI, leading to better answers and deeper understanding [10]
学术循环型组织:DeepSeek 挑战巨头的秘密武器

于这是一个拥有学术循环的组织,这个组织决定了他们能做出来 R1,相比之下算法本身反而没有那么 重要了。时代的发展在不断向前,当下创新的算法也许随时会被淘汰,但一个优秀的组织却始终推动 着科技的洪流。 学术循环:通过组织级别的 Critical Thinking 持续做出原子化的创新,进而推动科学边界 事实上,组织强度能够带来创新,而创新能带来胜利。这个模式在过去十几年一直在重复,比如字节 后发先至,在推荐系统的正面战场上胜过了腾讯、Meta、Google,这是因为字节的早期组织带来了有 效创新。 早期的 OpenAI 也符合这个规律,Ilya 构造出了强有力的学术组织,带来了显著的学术创 新,进而做出了 ChatGPT,远远拉开了所有竞争者,进而获得了 100b 以上的估值。这些现象说明了 如果有特定的组织结构,创新就能自然发生。而如果没有这些结构,创新可能很难大规模发生。 从更高的角度看,DeepSeek、OpenAI、字节跳动(早期的)等几家公司都拥有 学术循环,只是具体 路径不同,我们可以用以下表格来比较: 学术循环揭示了一个深刻的真理:创新的本质不在于技术工具或方法论,而在于我们如何组织集体思 考。当 ...
