Artificial Intelligence (AI) has integrated into daily life and revolutionized how we perform tasks, offering greater efficiency and convenience. However, the use of AI in cognitive offloading—relying on AI to complete tasks traditionally done by humans—has unintended consequences. These consequences are not uniformly experienced by all generations. While adults use AI to simplify familiar tasks, AI’s influence on children may be more damaging, as it replaces the learning process that is critical for cognitive development.
