As we use AI more and more as a critical assistant, what might that be doing to our critical thinking? Professor Michael Gerlich has published his research in the paper “AI Tools In Society: Impacts On Cognitive Offloading And The Future Of Critical Thinking” in the journal Societies. He showed that younger participants “exhibited higher dependence on AI tools and lower critical thinking scores compared to older participants.” That’s the sort of result that demands we pay attention at a time when AI is being increasingly used by schools and students. Michael is the Head of Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at SBS Swiss Business School. His research and publications largely focus on the societal impact of Artificial Intelligence, which has made him in demand as a speaker around the world. He’s also taught at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Cambridge, and other institutions. He’s also been an adviser to the President and the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan, the Uzbekistan Cabinet, and Ministers of economic affairs in Azerbaijan. In part 2, we talk about whether or how we can tell that our cognition has been impaired, how the future of work will change with cognitive offloading and what employers need to beware of and leverage. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog. |

HOW TO HIRE A HACKER TO RECOVER STOLEN BITCOIN. CONNECT WITH FASTFUND RECOVERY. Gmail: Fastfundrecovery8@gmail dot com. WhatsApp: 1 (807)500-7554. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to FastFund Recovery for helping me regain control of my cryptocurrency investments after a distressing scam. Like many others, I was lured into an investment opportunity that turned out to be a sophisticated fraud. I lost around $380,000 , and it felt like I had nowhere to turn. But then I discovered FastFund Recovery. The team at FastFund Recovery was nothing short of professional. From the very first consultation, they were understanding, empathetic, and transparent about the entire process. They walked me through each step, providing me with clear updates and offering realistic expectations for recovery. It was evident that they were not just focused on the financial aspect but genuinely cared about my peace of mind. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, I am thrilled to report that my funds were successfully recovered. I cannot thank the FastFund Recovery team enough for their dedication and hard work. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They restored not just my funds, but my trust in the world of cryptocurrency recovery.
