Google DeepMind's resident philosopher warns that AI is fundamentally changing how humans think and relate to each other

Henry Shevlin, a Cambridge philosopher who now spends most of his time at Google DeepMind, says the biggest questions about AI are not technical but deeply human — whether machines can be conscious, whether they deserve moral rights, and how relationships with AI could harm people.
Shevlin warns academia was too slow to grasp AI's real capabilities, which is why he moved inside a leading lab.
A new MIT book, 'The Collision: What AI Does to US' by Eric So, argues AI's spread is reshaping the brain and society simultaneously.
HR software firm Paycom claims AI can eliminate 'decision fatigue' — the proven cognitive decline that follows a long day of small workplace choices.
