Attention is all you need—until you need people⁠

Enrique Dans' column, titled "La IA caníbal," critiques the aggressive and potentially harmful methods of implementing artificial intelligence within companies. The article uses a "cannibalistic" metaphor to describe venture capitalists acquiring and reconstructing businesses heavily reliant on AI, often at the expense of human jobs and well-being. Dans argues that this approach can lead to negative consequences, such as diminished job satisfaction for skilled workers and flawed AI outputs. He uses examples like Amazon and Duolingo to illustrate the dangers of prioritizing AI adoption without considering the human impact. The author advocates for a more collaborative approach where AI enhances human productivity rather than replacing it, emphasizing the ethical considerations of technological integration.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Attention is all you need—until you need people«
