Introduction to Addictive Intelligence:

• We’ve explored the risks of AI in employment and industry, but today, we're delving into a more subtle threat—addictive intelligence.
• This concept involves AI being used to manipulate our engagement with various platforms, from social media and news sites to print advertising.

Understanding Addictive Intelligence:

• Unlike artificial intelligence focused on tasks and automation, addictive intelligence leverages psychological techniques to keep users engaged.
• Similar to how food producers have engineered products to be more addictive, AI can be used to make online and offline content more enticing.

The Impact on Lifestyle:

• This includes using AI to craft engaging words, language, and inflections in podcasts, videos, and articles to increase user attraction.

• With AI, these tactics could become even more effective, potentially manipulating users in ways they may not even realize.

Potential Risks of Addictive Intelligence:
