AI – Opportunity or Threat?<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Since the beginning of our journey, our reflections on learning to learn have consistently brought us back to one particular thought\u00a0: the role of tools and technology in relation to those of the learner and the facilitator. We continue to find meaning in the orchestra analogy: What added value does the conductor (facilitator) bring? What can a musician (learner) do or cannot do alone using the range of instruments (tools and technology) and music (content) available? And how do we integrate new instruments into the orchestra? When television first appeared, many predicted the end of radio, and our good old books still have a special place in our lives\u2026 Today, as artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities, we are once again invited to reflect and to keep adjusting the balance within the orchestra in our organizations or across society.<\/p>\n

We know that we are going to be able to delegate many time-consuming tasks to AI. In my view, this presents both an opportunity and a potential threat.<\/p>\n

AI can give us the space to develop our emotional and intuitive intelligence. Let\u2019s remember that the end of the domination of a narrow view of intelligence – the kind that helps us ace IQ tests (or not \ud83d\ude09) – is still very recent. The American psychologist Howard Gardner, creator of the theory of multiple intelligences, was among one of the first to challenge that limited perspective\u2026 This was in the 80\u2019s! He identified several types of intelligence, including two \u201cpersonal\u201d intelligences directly connected to understanding human nature: interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. And according to Gardner, these capacities are essential to finding fulfillment and one\u2019s path in life\u2026<\/p>\n

This theory gave rise to the emotional intelligence movement. It was the American psychologist and science journalist Daniel Goleman who made this concept mainstream with his global bestseller Emotional Intelligence<\/em><\/strong>. One of Goleman\u2019s core insights is that our emotions guide us to make the right decision, faster than rational thinking, when we embrace them without feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Following in the footsteps of emotional intelligence, intuition, a topic of neuroscience research, is the hallmark of our unconscious intelligence. It draws on a range of abilities connected to self-awareness and awareness of others\u2026 which are key concepts in the \u201cMirror\u201d of the MMAPPER model.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, I had the privilege to meet Dr. Stephen Karpman, an American psychiatrist and heir to Eric Berne, best known for his \u00ab\u00a0Drama Triangle\u00a0\u00bb. That evening, in a small and intimate gathering in our Paris offices, I had the opportunity to discover the extra-ordinary potential of my own intuitive intelligence\u2026<\/p>\n

In my opinion the main threat lies in that we could slowly lose the ability to follow the logical and deductive learning process that allows us to know how to do so many things today. Thus, we risk under-stimulating our IQ and becoming dependent on technology. And we know that for any meaningful project to be carried out, there needs to be a journey behind it. This concern is also reported in the documentary series AI at Work<\/em><\/strong> by Samuel Durand.<\/p>\n

To conclude, the challenges we face related to the development of AI are many:<\/p>\n
