Will we humans stop thinking because artificial intelligence supposedly does the work for us? Or are the arts of learning, keeping an overview and being able to recognize contexts and cross-connections becoming increasingly valuable in a world that is flooded with knowledge? What is the role of human thinking when AI is becoming increasingly powerful? What distinguishes us from self-learning systems and how do we use AI to future-proof our thinking?
