Cognitive Sovereignty
for Economists

The cognitive risks in economist are particular. AI tools now handle large parts of what used to require sustained thought. Economic models built with AI assistance that embed assumptions the economist has not independently tested. Forecasts presented with AI-generated confidence intervals that overstate certainty about genuinely uncertain futures. The risk is not that the tools are bad. The risk is what happens to economic modelling when they do the heavy lifting every day.

Cognitive sovereignty does not mean avoiding AI. It means staying the person who evaluates the output rather than the person who delivers it. In economic modelling, the risks are specific. Spurious precision from AI-generated models. Losing the theoretical grounding that distinguished good economic reasoning from data fitting. Policy errors with population-scale consequences. The resources below are built for this context. Use them to stay oriented.
