Research: Always relying on AI to do the work may be quietly degrading your professional skills

Theoretical philosophy researcher Kaisa Kerki published "Who Should Be Responsible for Addressing Professional Skill Degradation?" in the journal Human Affairs, pointing out that after doctors, researchers, and developers hand their work over to AI, their own professional skills decline, and practitioners find it hard to notice this degradation. She argues that this is a social and structural problem and cannot be entirely blamed on individuals, and recommends that senior practitioners regularly undergo assessments of core competencies, with industry communities defining the core skills that must be mastered by humans.
