AI Efficiency Could Cost Us the Next Generation of Experts
A little over a decade ago, I led the controls design for a first-of-its-kind full digital control system for a U.S. nuclear plant. It was, on paper, a beautiful machine—engineered to run itself the way a modern airliner does, with operators watching over a system that rarely needed them. And we made a decision that, to an efficiency-minded observer, looked backward: We deliberately left manual steps inside sequences the system could execute on its…

Test Comulytic Note Pro AI : cet enregistreur vocal IA de poche m'a rappelé le bon vieux temps de la dictée (et de la sténographie)
