The Impact of AI on Attention Span
In 2015, a study revealed that the human attention span had dropped to 8 seconds, one second less than that of a goldfish. This phenomenon was attributed to the rise of mobile devices, which have made content more accessible than ever.
Since then, technology and media have engaged in a fierce battle to capture our attention. Social networks are designed to maximize engagement, while streaming platforms have simplified access to entertainment. Constant notifications push us to react incessantly.
AI, a Disruptive Player
Artificial intelligence is disrupting this dynamic. Unlike previous digital technologies, AI does not merely accelerate the dissemination of content. It personalizes it in real-time, based on the individual needs of users. This fundamentally alters our interaction with digital products, directly influencing our attention capacity.
From Research to Passive Reception

With AI, this approach is evolving towards passive consumption, where information is tailored to users' personal preferences, with no effort required on their part.
