Death of critical thinking: How GenAI could inhibit human brain development
In qualitative terms, researchers note that GenAI shifts the nature of critical thinking towards information verification, response integration and task stewardship.
The reliance on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools poses a risk to the quality of human thought, with researchers warning that it could result in the deterioration of human cognitive faculties.
In a new study published by American tech giant Microsoft, the researchers argue that while GenAI tools such as Copilot and ChatGPT could be instrumental in boosting workplace productivity, becoming overly reliant on these tools could potentially impair users’ long-term skill development through bypassing of critical thinking processes.
