Wir reden viel darüber, was #KI kann. Aber kaum darüber, was wir besser nicht an sie abgeben. Immer mehr Menschen delegieren Formulierungen, Bewertungen oder Entscheidungen. Praktisch ist das oft, aber manches verändert unser Denken und die Fähigkeiten, die wir langfristig behalten.

In der neuen #DRANBLEIBEN Ausgabe geht es um Bewusstsein im Umgang mit KI. Und darum, was ausdrücklich bei uns Menschen bleiben sollte. Stichwort: #CognitiveOffloading und die Gefahren

#174: Über die Bedeutung des Nichtdelegierens

#DRANBLEIBEN - Einordnungen zu Tech & Gesellschaft

Frisch gebloggt, mal wieder zum Thema #KI:

🤖 🤡 KI macht uns nicht dümmer – aber sie macht es uns leichter, uns dumm zu verhalten

Die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz kreist meist um Effizienzgewinne, Automatisierung und neue Arbeitsformen oder gar den Verlust derselben. Weniger sichtbar, aber mindestens ebenso bedeutsam, ist eine zweite Ebene: die Frage, wie KI unser #Denken beeinflusst. Ich möchte in diesem Beitrag darlegen, wie wir aktiv gegensteuern können:

1. Zuerst denken, dann KI nutzen
2. KI nach Materialien, nicht nach Lösungen fragen
3. KI als Sparringpartner, nicht als Ghostwriter verwenden
4. Denkprozesse sichtbar machen
5. Qualitätsstandards klar definieren

Noch nie konnten wir so schnell Wissen abrufen, und selten war die Gefahr so gross, dass wir dabei weniger verstehen. Mein einfacher, aber zentraler Gedanke dazu: KI kann vieles – aber sie nimmt uns nicht die #Verantwortung ab, selbst zu denken.

Toen generatieve AI-toepassingen opkwamen, heb ik regelmatig beweerd dat deze zouden kunnen leiden tot cognitive offloading. Dit zou kunnen bijdragen aan het verlagen van de werkdruk en studiebelasting. Inmiddels waarschuwen deskundigen mede op basis van onderzoek dat cognitive offloading er juist toe kan leiden dat lerenden minder effectief leren. Er moet m.i. ruimte zijn voor meer nuance in deze discussie.#edutoot #onderwijs #cognitiveoffloading #artificialintelligence

Toen generatieve AI-toepassingen opkwamen, heb ik regelmatig beweerd dat deze zouden kunnen leiden tot cognitive offloading. Naar mijn mening was dit positief, omdat het zou kunnen bijdragen aan het verlagen van de werkdruk en studiebelasting. Inmiddels waarschuwen deskundigen - en ook ikzelf - mede op basis van onderzoek dat cognitive offloading er juist toe kan

AI Is Destroying a Generation of Students

AI usage could be making us dumber — part of a broader phenomenon known as cognitive offloading. In an academic setting, some research found a link between ChatGPT use and tanking grades — and even memory loss in students. One study found that the more that people trust in AI responses, the more their critical thinking skills turn to mush

AI Is Destroying a Generation of Students

Educators are horrified as their students become hopelessly dependent on AI models that do their thinking for them.

AI Tools in Society: Impacts on Cognitive Offloading and the Future of Critical Thinking

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has transformed numerous aspects of daily life, yet its impact on critical thinking remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between AI tool usage and critical thinking skills, focusing on cognitive offloading as a mediating factor. Utilising a mixed-method approach, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with 666 participants across diverse age groups and educational backgrounds. Quantitative data were analysed using ANOVA and correlation analysis, while qualitative insights were obtained through thematic analysis of interview transcripts. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between frequent AI tool usage and critical thinking abilities, mediated by increased cognitive offloading. Younger participants exhibited higher dependence on AI tools and lower critical thinking scores compared to older participants. Furthermore, higher educational attainment was associated with better critical thinking skills, regardless of AI usage. These results highlight the potential cognitive costs of AI tool reliance, emphasising the need for educational strategies that promote critical engagement with AI technologies. This study contributes to the growing discourse on AI’s cognitive implications, offering practical recommendations for mitigating its adverse effects on critical thinking. The findings underscore the importance of fostering critical thinking in an AI-driven world, making this research essential reading for educators, policymakers, and technologists.

Cognitive Offloading.

I like that term.

ChatGPT is my cognitive wingman! It extends my thought process, helping me manage complex ideas outside my brain. Cognitive offloading at its best. #MindExtension #CognitiveOffloading #AIasAssistant 🧠🚀
