Balancing technical and philosophical thinking in STEM education is crucial, as students are often criticized for lacking the ability to zoom out and think philosophically due to a focus on technical details. With the rise of AI, challenges arise as focusing on one aspect may lead to blind spots. However, AI can aid in fostering philosophical thinking by enabling cross-disciplinary exploration and prompting students to ask questions in different ways. By leveraging AI, students can delve into diverse topics and theoretical frameworks, ultimately enhancing their cognitive tool set and driving progress in the cognitive industrial revolution.
