Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio worries AI may hinder young people's human development

Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio fears AI may make young people less prepared as humans, potentially diverting their attention from natural interactions. Damasio's new book, "Natural Intelligence and the Logic of Consciousness," argues that consciousness arises from basic homeostatic feelings essential for life, not complex brain structures. He believes AI, while useful, is a product of human intelligence, not evolution, and lacks the life-preserving drive inherent in natural consciousness.
