The lawyer in this quote has already experienced what AI can do by reducing 45 minutes of work to just five. But what struck me is that he doesn’t want to use those extra 40 minutes to do even more. He wants his life back. He wants to read again, spend time with his family, travel and experience life at a slower pace.
That, to me, is the really interesting question about AI. If technology gives us back time, what are we going to do with it?
Are we going to fill every productivity gain with more emails, more meetings and more work? Or can we start thinking differently about what human performance actually looks like?
This is why I’m so interested in the intersection of AI, wellbeing and human performance through Bio-Wired AI app Because the opportunity isn’t simply to make people work faster. It’s to use technology to help people work, live and perform better. Without losing sight of the human being behind the data. AI can give us back time. What we do with it is up to us.
