Astrid Galsgaard warns AI may erode professional expertise

Technopsychologist Astrid Galsgaard warns that artificial intelligence may erode professional expertise and hinder the learning process for children. Based on field studies regarding human interaction with AI, Galsgaard argues that AI provides results without the necessary struggle or process required for true mastery.

Key concerns include the loss of professional skill development as routine tasks are delegated to algorithms, potentially preventing experts from building the foundational knowledge needed for complex decision-making. Additionally, professionals express anxiety regarding surveillance and the ability to remain accountable for decisions driven by opaque algorithms. Galsgaard also links these concerns to recent PISA study results in Denmark, suggesting that bypassing the difficulties of learning may negatively impact student development.
