Research and practice focused on preventing us from becoming The Last Learning Generation.
You finish an extensive analysis with AI and end up with a beautifully crafted report. Could you explain the reasoning with the chat window closed?
AI loves to help us work through a difficult problem. But it usually delivers all the answers before we have done much thinking ourselves. So, which parts of that effort were helping us learn? And would we be able to replicate it all ourselves?
Digital Cognition explores how using AI affects the quality of human learning and thinking. It connects research with practical ways of working and learning with AI, examining what we can delegate and where our own cognitive effort should (but more and more often does not) remain essential.
How AI affects learning quality, from understanding an explanation to applying knowledge independently.
What happens to human thinking when AI takes over big chunks of the cognitive effort.
Where so-called AI reasoning breaks down, even when its answers sound convincing and surprisingly expert.
How LLMs are able to design entire customer journeys and influence choices that very much involve our wallets.
