The Impact of Over-Reliance on AI

Over-reliance on AI technologies poses significant risks to cognitive abilities and critical thinking. Many users may become complacent, relying on AI systems for answers without scrutinizing the source or accuracy of the information. This is particularly concerning with generative AI, where users can receive seemingly coherent responses without understanding the underlying reasoning or provenance of the data provided. Such dependence could diminish our analytical skills, leading to a situation where essential cognitive tasks are outsourced to algorithms instead of being refined through personal engagement.
