Sam Altman: “If AI does the thinking for us, human cognitive abilities could weaken”

Sam Altman warned that if AI takes over too much thinking, human cognitive abilities could weaken.

In a podcast, the OpenAI CEO called this an overlooked risk in the AI era.

He also noted the promise of convenient personal AI, but said human judgment still matters.

The concern could shape how organizations use AI and how schools and workplaces build skills.
