AI Tools in Society: Impacts on Cognitive Offloading and the Future of Critical Thinking

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has transformed numerous aspects of daily life, yet its impact on critical thinking remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between AI tool usage and critical thinking skills, focusing on cognitive offloading as a mediating factor. Utilising a mixed-method approach, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 666 participants across diverse age groups and educational backgrounds. Quantitative data were analysed using ANOVA and correlation analysis, while qualitative insights were obtained through thematic analysis of interview transcripts. 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.

There is a lot happening in K-12 with discussions of AI in every one of my kids classes (9th/12th grade) at the start of the year. It might be interesting for higher ed faculty to be aware of the approaches to AI in the in high schools.

To summarize, the board encourages the use of generative AI by school system employees and students to expand their skills and capabilities and to prepare students for a future AI-enhanced world and states that all school system employees and students should be AI literate. The board goes on to recommend professional development for all staff.

How do we have honest conversations about AI with students and/or with colleagues? Because views and beliefs about the appropriateness of AI use vary widely, people may not talk openly because they fear being judged.

# data[].attributes.body
Educate students about using different AI tools and ensuring students know what is available and how they could use it. In other words, level the playing field. It seems that not everyone is aware of the capabilities (i.e. use of good prompts), and others are already pretty advanced with their strategies.

I hope to get our department faculty to agree on suitable goals and expectations and practices around LLMs and gen AI in the classroom. What specific AI tools to use related to technical tasks is a different question for me right now.

I'm hopeful that faculty will engage with AI to help students prepare for the new environment they will work in once they graduate.

New AI-powered Library tool: Keenious

Users type/upload text, tool recommends literature from our library collection based on that text. Text isn't kept for training, etc., and tool doesn't hallucinate because it doesn't give answers, just recommends literature related to the user's input.
