Speaking at the Forum of United Cultures, Piotrovsky described AI as a tool whose role depends on the user: it can act as the main decision-maker or as a “second pilot.” The risk, he said, is not limited to inaccurate answers; repeated reliance can turn machine-generated suggestions into a habit.
Piotrovsky said he asks AI what to say before almost every meeting, partly to avoid repeating the standard response the machine might produce. He argues that reviewing and adapting an answer helps people see where their own judgement differs from a system’s output.
He gave greeting messages as a practical example. AI can draft one, but a person or secretary should revise it so it remains personal and reflects the named author. Piotrovsky also said he uses free AI services.
His point is not to reject the technology but to keep responsibility for the final words and decisions with people. An AI “second pilot” is useful only while the human user checks its work and retains their own voice. Source: RBC.
