Abstract
A mounting body of evidence shows artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping human experience, eroding essential capabilities, and threatening social cohesion. This policy brief synthesises key findings on the mounting crisis of human agency, documents concerning impacts already visible across society, and proposes a comprehensive framework for intervention. The evidence demonstrates a pattern of accelerating disconnection, skill erosion, and psychological strain that demands urgent action within a three- to five-year window before AI capabilities potentially reach levels that could permanently alter the human-technology relationship. Our approach emphasises the development of psycho-emotional resilience as the critical foundation for human flourishing in the AI age, complemented by supportive skill development and strengthened community structures.
