Hybrid intelligence uses our natural and artificial assets with full awareness of their strengths and caveats.

Our biggest enemy when it comes to agency amid AI may be our own affinity toward the path of least resistance.

A helpful countermeasure to cognitive surrender is to build habits that keep our whole person involved.

Artificial intelligence (AI) usage has reached a massive scale, with an estimated 1.5–2 billion people interacting with AI-powered systems globally. Seventy-eight percent of businesses are now using AI in at least one function, and in many places, this means that the working day now has a new rhythm. You open a blank page.

The deeper question lingers: Which part of you took part in that decision?

Let's face it. This is not hybrid intelligence. Hybrid intelligence arises from the complementarity of natural and artificial intelligences. It is a symbiosis that must be carefully curated with a holistic understanding of both components and their interplays. Pushing the load from one to the other is the opposite. True hybrid intelligence brings out the best that our natural and artificial assets have to offer, because it uses both with full awareness of their respective strengths and caveats.
