New Book Examines AI's Influence on Human Cognition

MIT Professor Eric So's new book, "The Collision: What AI Does to Us," investigates how extensive AI use affects human thinking, memory, and social interactions. So posits that while AI offers efficiency, over-reliance may diminish foundational skills and problem-solving abilities. The book explores both the advantages and disadvantages, suggesting AI can be a valuable cognitive trainer if used thoughtfully, rather than solely as an answer-generating tool.
