Researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University warn that the more you use AI, the more your cognitive abilities deteriorate.

The findings from those examples were striking: overall, those who trusted the accuracy of the AI tools found themselves thinking less critically, while those who trusted the tech less used more critical thought when going back over AI outputs.

A recent study conducted by researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University has revealed a concerning correlation between the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in workplaces and a decrease in critical thinking skills.

Silicon Valley and the Trump administration are embracing AI, but the technology has troubling implications for critical thinking, according to a new Microsoft study.

Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University found that people’s critical thinking skills decline as they increasingly depend on artificial intelligence. Consequently, this reliance makes it harder to use these skills when necessary.

Microsoft study of "knowledge workers" reveals that AI usage can have a negative impact on our critical thinking abilities. The post AI Deteriorates Your Brain, According to Microsoft Study appeared first on Tech.

The more you use AI to take care of everyday work tasks, the weaker your critical thinking skills become in relation to those tasks.

Dammit, that was our job here at The Reg. Now if you get a task you don't understand, you may assume AI has the answers Some knowledge workers risk becoming over-reliant on generative AI and their problem-solving skills may decline as a result,
