‘The Collision: What AI Does to Us’

MIT Sloan professor Eric So’s new book, “The Collision: What AI Does to Us,” explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping human cognition by tempting people to outsource thinking, leading to cognitive atrophy and diminished capacity for sustained focus and judgment. So advises employees to preserve their unique thinking skills, managers to reward both productivity and reasoning, executives to focus on talent development rather than cost-cutting, and educators to teach AI as a tool rather than ban it, emphasizing that AI should amplify human capabilities without replacing critical thinking.

What Is Just-in-time Learning?

March 6, 2026 / AI, productivity, learning

Just-in-time (JIT) learning is a method focusing on acquiring necessary skills or information as needed, enhancing immediate application and problem-solving. It involves defining objectives, gathering targeted assistance, applying solutions instantly, validating outcomes, and documenting processes for future reference. This approach can be efficient for low-risk tasks but may also have risks if quick verification isn’t possible. AI tools can aid the process by providing concise guidance. For teams, building an accessible documentation inventory and embedding learning resources into workflows improves productivity and reduces repetitive inquiries.
