New literature explores human consciousness and the impact of AI

Recent publications are examining the intersection of human cognition, social connection, and technological advancement. In the field of neuroscience and psychology, Richard J. Davidson and Cortland Dahl present the ‘Healthy Minds Framework’ in their work, ‘Nacemos para florecer’, which focuses on training awareness, inner understanding, connection, and purpose to achieve emotional balance.

Addressing the digital age, psychologist Mercè Conangla warns of the risks associated with artificial intelligence in her book, ‘La conciencia artificial’. Conangla suggests that humans may have already externalized between 60% and 70% of their memory to AI. She emphasizes the importance of using technology as a tool rather than surrendering essential human functions such as attention, emotional management, and discernment.

Other academic perspectives include Mauricio García Villegas, who analyzes the erosion of critical judgment due to algorithmic polarization, and Virginia Mendoza, who explores how ancestral care and social bonds facilitated human survival.
