Generative AI is about to create the most addictive algorithms in human history. Spotify’s Co-President, Gustav Söderström, warns that because AI can understand you on a deeply personal level, the potential for digital addiction is massive. But AI is a dual-use technology. Instead of letting the algorithm dictate who you are, you can use it to program who you want to become. Here is the framework he breaks down: Implicit vs. Intentional: Current algorithms track what you *did*. AI allows you to explicitly tell it what you *want* to do. The English Interface: Historically, only a few million developers could dictate what computers did. Now, anyone can reprogram their digital experience using plain English. The future of tech isn't about letting AI control us it's about using AI to take back control of our own attention and habits.
