New research from Stanford and UC reveals that when students use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing tasks, they retain less information and show reduced brain activity related to memory and reflection. While AI can help with efficiency and structure, it risks weakening core learning processes if overused.
Educators warn that relying on AI may produce polished texts but leaves students less engaged with their own ideas. The findings highlight the need for clear policies and teaching strategies that ensure AI supports rather than replaces learning.
AI research shows polished output comes at a cost: weaker memory and lower engagement.
So…:
What guidelines should you establish for yourself and those around you regarding the use of artificial intelligence?
