The Cognitive Consequences of AI: Exploring "Your Brain on ChatGPT" and Beyond

Event Description:

As artificial intelligence continues to play an ever-larger role in our daily lives, it's essential to understand the impact it has on the human brain and mind. In this session, we'll dive into the cognitive consequences of using generative AI, focusing on both psychological and physiological effects. Through a review of recent research, including the recent publication from MIT scientists Your Brain on ChatGPT, we will explore how interacting with AI tools like ChatGPT can reshape attention, memory, problem-solving, and even emotional well-being.

Is AI changing our brains? Are these changes mostly beneficial, or do they present hidden risks? Can AI reshape how we process information, or might it interfere with critical thinking and decision-making? And is there any way to protect or compensate for this reshaping?
