In an age dominated by powerful algorithms guiding everything from our entertainment choices to our financial decisions, a critical question emerges: what happens to human intuition? Algorithms excel at pattern recognition and optimised decision-making based on vast datasets. They offer efficiency and often accuracy that our human brains, prone to biases and limited in processing power, simply cannot match. Yet, intuition, that “gut feeling” or subconscious synthesis of experience, remains a uniquely human trait, essential for navigating novel situations, understanding complex social cues, and fostering true creativity. As we increasingly outsource our cognitive processes to AI, do we risk atrophying this vital human capacity? Or can we find a way to integrate algorithmic efficiency with the invaluable insights of human intuition? Do you trust your intuition or algorithms more? Tell us why.
