@oomdamar @KomnasHAM @pikatdemokrasi Jadi petani melon sangat menjanjikan mas. Ndak bs diganti AI. Tp bs manfaatin AI

Indonesia

Hari ini diminta @KomnasHAM memberi masukan untuk Kajian HAM di Ruang Digital. Tadi bareng mas petani melon @ismailfahmi dan mbak Indri DS.
Jadi ingat 5-6 tahun diminta masukan buat susun Standar Norma Pengaturan No. 5.
Terima kasih atas kepercayaan pada @pikatdemokrasi

A researcher spent two years documenting what AI is doing to the way humans think.
His conclusion fits in one sentence.
AI is standardizing human thought. Across societies. Across cultures. Across generations. Simultaneously. At a scale no technology in history has ever achieved.
The paper is called "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Human Thought." Published July 2025 on arXiv. Written by independent researcher Rénald Gesnot, categorized under Computers & Society and Human-Computer Interaction.
It is not a benchmark paper. It is not a capability paper. It is something rarer — a systematic analysis of what happens to human cognition, creativity, and intellectual diversity when billions of people outsource their thinking to the same machine.
Here is the mechanism the researcher describes.
When you ask an AI a question, you get an answer shaped by the model's training data, its fine-tuning, its alignment process, and the preferences of the company that built it. That answer is not neutral. It reflects a specific set of values, framings, and assumptions. Usually Western. Usually English-dominant. Usually optimized for engagement and approval.
When 500 million people ask the same AI similar questions and receive similar answers, those answers become reference points. People quote them. Build on them. Argue from them. The diversity of starting points — different cultures, different intellectual traditions, different ways of framing problems — begins to compress.
The researcher describes this as cognitive standardization.
Not censorship. Not propaganda. Something subtler and harder to reverse. A gravitational pull toward the outputs of a small number of models, trained by a small number of companies, reflecting a small number of worldviews.
The paper also documents algorithmic manipulation — AI systems that exploit cognitive biases to influence behavior. The way recommendation algorithms produce filter bubbles. The way AI-generated content exploits confirmation bias. The way personalization systems learn what you already believe and feed it back to you amplified.
And then the creativity question — the one nobody wants to answer directly.
When AI can produce a poem, an essay, a business plan, or a research summary in seconds — and when that output is often indistinguishable from or preferred over human-generated content — what happens to the human practice of creating those things? Not the output. The practice. The struggle. The failure. The slow development of a personal voice through years of imperfect attempts.
The researcher argues that cognitive offloading — delegating thinking tasks to AI — does not merely save time. It atrophies the mental capacity that the offloaded task was building.
Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon found this empirically in 2025: higher AI trust correlates directly with measurably lower critical thinking. The researcher provides the theoretical framework for why.
The paper ends with a question the researcher admits he cannot answer.
Once a generation grows up with AI as the default thinking partner — once the habit of outsourcing cognition is formed before the habit of independent thought is developed — what does intellectual autonomy even mean?
And is it already too late to find out?

Sovereign AI isn’t just capability — it’s control.
Data. Infrastructure. Outcomes.
As India builds in AI, the real question is: how independent are we?
