Investigators should simultaneously work cases from each priority level while at the same time giving attention to the age of each case in each priority level. An effective practice is delegating authority to the assigned investigator the ability to elevate or decrease the assigned priority level if additional evidence or information is received that indicates a change in the priority level is warranted.

But again, generative AI is one side, and it's where we're going to focus most of our attention today.

And then there's slow thinking, which allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it.
