Researchers Warn of Cognitive Decline Due to Over-reliance on AI

Researchers are warning of potential cognitive decline due to over-reliance on AI, citing studies showing reduced brain activity and memory recall in users of large language models like ChatGPT. Research scientist Natalia Koshmina's study at MIT indicated significantly lower brain activity in students using ChatGPT compared to those using search engines or no technology. Concerns are growing that excessive dependence on AI for intellectual tasks could diminish human memory, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, potentially leading to long-term effects on intellectual health.
