I have found myself in recent times, working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and people at work. Some people and organisations are apprehensive about AI tools for fear of privacy and confidentiality - and rightly so.
Others are going for it, insisting that project managers, for example, adopt AI in their work to save time and create efficiencies. No new hires will be sanctioned, so if you want a project completed on time and budget, utilise AI.
Ok, AI can help, sure. The problem is that there is a risk of forcing AI tool usage without proper due diligence or planning. With this, there are potential cognitive costs to critical thinking and decision making.
In today's article, I'm discussing this phenomena and drawing on research findings from a study by Micheal Gerlich earlier this year.
Key findings:
🚨 Younger users showed higher AI dependence and lower critical thinking
🚨 Higher education correlated with better critical thinking regardless of AI use
🚨 Trust in AI tools increases offloading, which erodes analytical skills over time
🚨 Long-term reliance weakens memory retention, problem-solving, and independent thought
Slán for now 👋
