As the emergence of artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize aspects of modern life, including education, a new study from the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the SBS Swiss Business School investigating the link between AI tools and critical thinking skills, focusing on cognitive offloading suggests a significant negative correlation.
