VI SAGDE DET JO: AI GØR OS DUMMERE

Et nyt studie fra ‘Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability’ i Schweiz siger det, vi alle sammen godt havde på fornemmelsen: Brug af Kunstig Intelligens gør os dummere – og værre endnu: Svækker vores evne til kritisk tænkning. Vi har også skabt et system, der er af afhængigt af, og vokser på vores data  – og vores energi, som en anden vampyr.

The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between frequent AI tool usage and critical thinking abilities, mediated by increased cognitive offloading. Younger participants exhibited higher dependence on AI tools and lower critical thinking scores compared to older participants. Furthermore, higher educational attainment was associated with better critical thinking skills, regardless of AI usage. These results highlight the potential cognitive costs of AI tool reliance, emphasising the need for educational strategies that promote critical engagement with AI technologies. This study contributes to the growing discourse on AI’s cognitive implications, offering practical recommendations for mitigating its adverse effects on critical thinking. The findings underscore the importance of fostering critical thinking in an AI-driven world, making this research essential reading for educators, policymakers, and technologists.

Styrelsen ønsker at benytte lejligheden til at gøre opmærksom på det mest indlysende: At hvis du bruger digitale proteser, du egentlig ikke har brug for, så forsvinder din evne til at gøre det, du nu gør med protesen, uden. Forfatterne bag studiet, mener at problemet kan løses ved at indføre mere ‘kritisk tænkning’, mens man bruger AI.
