Artificial intelligence has become an omnipresent force. Countless workplaces rely on chatbots, automated scheduling tools, and generative algorithms to streamline operations. But a recent study – conducted jointly by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University – has ignited a rather tricky debate: Does AI usage erode human cognitive abilities? Or in other words, does AI make us dumb? The Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon study enlisted 319 knowledge workers spanning multiple professional fields, from legal services to product management. The goal was to unearth how generative AI (GenAI) influences real-world tasks. By collecting 936 authentic examples of AI-assisted work, researchers sought to … Continue reading Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon Study: Is AI Really Making Us Dumb?
