A new study by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University found that the more humans rely on AI to carry out tasks, the less they engage their critical thinking skills.

Workers who trusted AI were likelier to utilize it for a broader range of tasks and spend less time evaluating its work.

The study found that AI tools can help workers be more efficient, but it raises concerns about the potential long-term effects of AI 's efficiency benefit on critical thinking abilities.
