NYC Seminar: The Fragility of Borrowed Intelligence & AI Dependence
round · x · 2026-08-31
Aishwarya Khanduja is hosting a seminar in NYC titled 'The Fragility of Borrowed Intelligence.' The discussion explores the consequences of outsourcing judgment to machines, focusing on two main fragilities: economic fragility (loss of deep human expertise that keeps systems robust) and epistemic fragility (loss of individual capacity for independent thought and tolerance for ambiguity). The event includes a guided discussion on which human capacities require deliberate protection in the AI age.
