These attributes remain uniquely human and crucial for complex decision-making.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The article concludes by urging a balanced approach to utilizing AI to foster human growth while maintaining our unique cognitive and emotional strengths.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Course-Correct What AI Has Done to Our Brains https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/artificial-maturity\/202604\/how-to-course-correct-what-ai-has-done-to-our-brains Publish Date: 2026-05-06 12:32:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":209763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn2.psychologytoday.com\/assets\/styles\/manual_crop_1_91_1_1528x800\/public\/teaser_image\/blog_entry\/2026-05\/pexels-george-pak-7972955.jpg?h=78771e5e&itok=kJFqkGyQ","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-209762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209762"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209762"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209764,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209762\/revisions\/209764"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
