AI and Your Attention: Using It Without Being Used

Every time you open an AI assistant, a subtle tug-of-war begins. Algorithms have been fine-tuned to hold your gaze, to suggest one more question, one more refinement. Before you know it, the original task is forgotten. This book is not about abandoning AI—it is about using it on your terms. You will learn to recognize the pull of persuasive design, set clear intentions before you start, and build daily habits that keep you in charge. From managing notifications to conducting weekly attention audits, each chapter offers concrete, humane practices that fit real life. Whether you are a parent juggling demands, a student researching, or a professional trying to stay focused, you will find practical strategies for rebalancing your relationship with technology. The goal is not to resist every interruption, but to choose which ones deserve your time. By the end, you will have a toolkit for engaging with AI as a deliberate partner rather than a passive subject. Part of The Everyday AI Library.
