Over the last century, humans have been getting smarter every year. Until now.

With the widespread adoption of AI, particularly its use for more routine workplace tasks, are we becoming more productive or outsourcing too much of our thinking?

UNSW Scientia Professor Toby Walsh explains the “Flynn Effect” and how a decline in human intelligence development could affect how we live and work.

The biggest risk may not be smarter machines, but losing the focus, grit and critical thinking that make humans valuable at work in the first place.

Australians hold more than $4.3 trillion in superannuation assets, yet many retirees still spend less and draw down their savings more slowly than expected in retirement. New research from UNSW Business School suggests one overlooked reason may be the hidden transaction costs involved in buying annuities, which are financial products that convert super savings into a regular retirement income.

“In simple terms, the fixed cost changes annuity buying from a gradual process into a ‘wait, then act’ decision,” said UNSW Business School Associate Professor Yang Shen. “The cost also affects how much retirees spend, how much they keep in savings, and how quickly they draw down their wealth.”

The research shows that even small upfront fees can significantly shape retirement behaviour, delaying annuity purchases and contributing to more cautious spending patterns. The findings highlight the importance of designing retirement products and advice that help Australians turn their super savings into a more stable and sustainable income.

Why do people keep using social media platforms that they say make them feel worse? New research from UNSW Business School suggests the answer is not addiction, but social pressure. Users may want to leave, but feel compelled to stay because everyone else is still there.

“When people are judged by their number of followers or likes, there is extreme pressure to post and to participate in the network to keep up with their peers,” said UNSW Vice-Chancellor's Professor Richard Holden. “This is the very essence of a ‘rat race’.”

The research highlights how platform design choices, including likes, follower counts and engagement-driven algorithms, can intensify social comparison and make harmful networks harder to leave. For policymakers, businesses and parents, the findings raise important questions about the future of online communities and digital wellbeing.

How is AI reshaping the future of insurance?

In June, UNSW Business School Associate Professor Fei Huang will co-chair the Responsible AI & Analytics for Insurance Workshop at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Cohosted by the Wharton School and UNSW Business School, the workshop brings together leaders from academia, industry, and regulation to explore critical issues, including fairness and transparency in AI-driven pricing, responsible machine learning, regulatory expectations, and climate risk.

A/Prof. Huang's leadership in this space reflects UNSW's growing global contribution to responsible AI research and its real-world applications across business and society.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at speed, but according to UNSW Business School alumna and AI strategist Nicholle Lindner, many organisations are still focused on the wrong question. Rather than asking how to build stronger AI tools, she says leaders should be asking whether their systems, infrastructure and workforce are ready for large-scale AI deployment.

“The issue for our governments now is not faster or better AI. It’s actually how AI will be deployed. And are we ready for that? Are our systems and structures there?” asked Ms Lindner, Senior AI Leader & Strategic Advisor APAC at Deloitte. In an interview with Associate Professor Felix Ter Chian Tan, UNSW Associate Dean (International), she said organisations need to move beyond viewing technology as a cost centre and instead see AI as a driver of growth, innovation and long-term competitiveness.

For businesses, workers and future graduates, the shift will require adaptability, digital literacy and the ability to work across both technical and non-technical environments. As AI continues to transform industries, organisations that invest in readiness and long-term strategy will be better positioned to navigate disruption and growth.
