L'IA
Inévitable nouvelle donne L'intelligence artificielle prend ses marques aujourd'hui, à une vitesse fulgurante, investissant toutes nos sphères : sociales et individuelles. Cette evolution, portée par un 'AI First' assumé par bon nombre de leaders, nous pose des questions fondamentales sur la place of nous les hommes. Au-delà d'une coexistence passive avec des machines, il s'agit de réussir cette osmose intelligence Artificielle - humain en faisant des Neurosciences appliquees un levier de notre intelligence organique potentielle. Et c'est justement en inversant la tendance, c'est-à-dire en utilisant ce que science et connaissances technologiques nous ont offert pour créer l'IA, que nous pouvons "entrainer" notre propre machine cerebrale, pour traverser avec succès les incertitudes du XXIe siècle.
Le socle : bionergetique crbrale
Le bien-être du cerveau humain face à la montée des machines passe nécessairement par ses substrats biologiques. Les neurosciences appliquees ont permis de relever le rôle essentiel des mitochondries; les moteurs de notre corps. Notre machine cerebrale est terriblement gourmande en energie, c'est la machine qui, grace a des 'jonglages' mentaux, arrive a consomer des volumes energetiques astronomiques, que ce soit pour comprendre une instruction a donner a une machine ou pour la executer. Maintenir cette capacite energetique nécessite une hygiène de vie irréprochable: activite physique qui favorise la creation de nouveaux neurones and proliferation des mitochondries; suffisamment de sommeil pour évacuer ce qui est toxique pour l'homme and le bon carburant, c'est-a-dire une nutrition adaptree: peu de sucre et pas du tout de produits ultra-transformes, ce dernier aspect nous donnant agilite et viellesse de l'esprit.
Ax intestin-cerveau: intelligence sociale
Les Neurosciences Appliquees nous montrent que l'intelligence sociale de l'homme repose directement sur la richesse de notre microbiote intestinal. Les humains les plus doux and 'pro-social' had, in one survey, more varieties of bacteria. In another of them, humans consuming probiotics for seven weeks displayed far more sharing and fairness; this being a consequence of messages sent via the nervous system directly to our brain that influence our decision-making part. Health of the digestive system = emotional intelligence, the very thing which makes us uniquely human in an increasingly automated world.
Sonneries alpha for inspiration
Today, the most important criteria for man to survive the AI boom is creativity and innovation capacity. It turns out that by letting our thoughts roam free the creativity can actually be developed! Dedicating only about 20% of your day to let your thoughts wander freely triggers our 'alpha brain waves': very soft electrical waves related to calm and creativity. We can do it through walk in the woods, or while falling asleep like Edison or Archimedes!
L'IA comme collaboratrice à la créativité
Finally, we are able to collaborate with technology, our new "AI partner" should not only do our tasks for us, but also help us think and generate many perspectives, even "bad" ones so we can avoid falling into routines and develop innovative solutions, we couldn't find alone. We must push beyond the limitations imposed by our logical minds and use technology to broaden our thinking space, be more original and efficient.
Intelligence relationnelle and management of tensions
The real-life skill: emotion management and empathy are exclusively human aspects of our lives. TheNeurosciences Appliquees suggest we can train ourselves to be more empathetic by giving ourselves a break and practicing our emotional intelligence. This can be done by simulating a difficult situation with a virtual agent. This will provide us the calm necessary for managing any high-stakes environment in which the AI will play a role.
Decision Making strategy under uncertaintity
While an agent can make an autonomous choice within certain parameters, the strategically critical decision remains ours. Neurosciences Appliquees advices not to look for an optimal information but an sufficient one: when we get enough data for us to make the final call ( around 80% of it) we should act and give the right arguments of why. A well informed and conscious decision is one we can make with full confidence.
Critical thought and non-conventional thinking
A human being's capacity to question what he/she normally thinks is one of the things we have learned through Neurosciences. We have biases that influence our thought patterns and it's useful to question them, explore them and also create opportunities for this to happen throughinterdisciplinary approach and debate. Managers' duty: make it a safe space for everybody to be critical of their own behavior, work habits and also our society.
L' IA requires leadership and HR specialists
The AI is already changing many business structures and this changes are not only strategic but operational too. The workforce should be closely monitored through neurosciences applied: more cognitively intensive tasks should not necessarily be exhausting, they should provide the opportunity to develop the highest capacities of human mind. This process of employment need to be supported so no gap arises; this is where "IAllectronisme" becomes a reality. Leadership is about organizing this synergy so AI can do what it's good at: automation, while human being can excel in high-value tasks using empathy and foresight.
Creating a human friendly ecosystem at the workplace
At the end of this article, one point comes clearly out: embracing AI doesn't have to come at the cost of our humanity or our own mental space. Neurosciences applied offers us tools for building an 'ecology of humans' within any workplace, using its insights to nurture both our productivity and our own sense of self. By mastering our biology, we have already got what it takes; all we need to do is to trust and exploit these new frontiers to keep our minds agile, flexible and forever learning, the 21st-century way!
