Experts recommend against fully self-governing AI because of security dangers at the same time industries that heavily rely on AI experience decreased human abilities for making decisions and critical reasoning.

Recent research demonstrates why manufacturers should not produce completely autonomous AI agents because they create serious safety problems alongside human control issues. According to research based on industry marketing combined with existing literature “risk increases proportionally to the amount of user control given to an AI agent.” The current rise of AI autonomy creates ethical boundaries because it impacts crucial operational choices leading to critical situations. The authors stress the need for human safety verification systems and control integration to prevent such risks.

Furthermore employees are becoming increasingly concerned about the excessive use of AI-related technology in their work environment. Microsoft together with Carnegie Mellon University discovered through their study that problem-solving competencies among workers deteriorate when they excessively depend on generative AI. The studies indicated that workers exhibit reduced critical thinking abilities after they place excessive trust in AI-generated outputs that assist their work. When cognitive responsibility shifts away from humans it leads to lower levels of critical thought which thus strengthens the importance of maintaining equilibrium.

Natural progress within AI technology along with robotic process automation (RPA) makes a definite impact on Document Process Management (DPM). Business operations within DPM have become more efficient through the integration of AI tools. Organizations must preserve human eyes on operations while using AI to help with critical thinking tasks but not to replace human decisions within their workplace.
