Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a topic of considerable debate as its potential benefits and risks continue to be discussed. Although many recognize the advantages of AI, experts have raised concerns about its real dangers. Psychiatrist and futurist Robert Kegan emphasizes that the most significant peril associated with AI lies in its addictive nature, which has adverse societal and psychological impacts. In essence, devices capture our attention to ＿＿（31）＿＿ our lives by using machine learning algorithms to generate the most addictive and distracting content possible. Furthermore, instructions to maximize and ＿＿（32）＿＿ user engagement only worsen the addictive nature of these devices. Consequently, there has been an increase in depression, suicide, and degenerative diseases. Kegan contends that the addiction mechanism of these devices is self-perpetuating, and there may be no way to halt it. To ＿＿（33）＿＿ and resolve this, Kegan believes that we must comprehend the fundamental differences between human intelligence and machine learning. While human intelligence is purposeful and involves value and meaning, machine intelligence only mimics one aspect of human intelligence, which is rationality. To ＿＿（34）＿＿ and reduce the potentially catastrophic outcomes of AI, Kegan suggests that we engage our reflective and creative nature. He recommends that we distinguish ourselves from our tools to ensure that we utilize them intelligently and prudently. Kegan concludes that humanity’s survival hinges on our ability to differentiate ourselves from machines and employ our ever-advancing tools judiciously.
