Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the workplace, but growing reliance on AI may gradually erode the critical thinking, creativity, and expertise that drive innovation. Explore the hidden risks of AI dependency and discover how organizations can harness AI while preserving the uniquely human skills essential for long-term success.

AI tools like ChatGPT can make life easier, but relying on them too much leads to “cognitive debt”—we remember and learn less. A new MIT study shows that using AI for writing reduces brain activity and recall. To avoid cognitive debt, draft your own ideas first, then use AI to refine your work. By leading with your own thinking and letting AI support you, you can boost learning and creativity without losing your mental edge.
