Let's Discuss... Cognitive Offloading
Details
Cognitive offloading is a phenomenon that is as old as cognitive tools. But in the past 20 years, after the wide adoption of the internet, we have seen young people become lazier in obtaining and keeping knowledge.
Since the emergence of AI tools we have seen more and more people relying on technology to think, research, or write essays for them.
What are the effects of cognitive offloading?
Can we still value knowledge workers the same way if people delegate their cognitive processes to machines?
At what point does cognitive offloading become cognitive dependency?
