AI integration highlights the importance of human value and verbalization

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into professional life, discussions are emerging regarding the distinction between human value and technological efficiency.

In the field of acupuncture, practitioners emphasize that while AI can process information, the ‘real value’ lies in human-centric elements. These include the tactile sensitivity required for delicate procedures, the ability to make complex individualized judgments based on a patient's mental and physical state, and the emotional connection and empathy established through human interaction.

Regarding general productivity, experts suggest that the difference between those who are overwhelmed by AI and those who master it lies in ‘verbalization.’ By clearly defining why certain tools cause distraction or inefficiency, individuals can implement specific rules—such as limiting AI use to transcription or setting strict boundaries for chat notifications—to prevent mental exhaustion and improve workflow.
