How can companies mitigate the negative impacts of employees' overreliance on AI use?

Jan 27, 2026

In our latest Clarity podcast, Dr. Cornelia Walther warns that unchecked AI use is driving cognitive decline while weakening critical thinking, decision-making, and meaning at work as people increasingly default to machine judgment. She calls for hybrid intelligence — a pairing of AI fluency and human literacy — and urges companies to govern AI not just for speed and scale, but for human dignity, well-being, and positive social impact.
