ABC News Daily · Is AI changing how we think? · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

when you're reasoning or thinking about something.

And then there's system two, which is more analytical, slower, more deliberative.

And so those two systems map to the two types of answers that participants could have come up with on their own in our task, right?

Intuitive or deliberative, fast or slow, system one or system two.

And one of the core arguments we make in our paper is that AI is so pervasive and can do all of these sort of domain, a specific thinking type tasks.

Right.

These are sort of thinking machines, artificial intelligence.

that we believe that now this pervasiveness of AI warrants what we call System 3 artificial cognition that can go alongside Systems 1 and Systems 2.

Systems 1 and 2 are in the brain, evolved, whereas System 3 is designed and external, automated and data-driven, but performs the same sorts of artificial cognitions as Systems 1 and 2.

Yeah.

Exactly.

It sort of depends how you use system three, I think.

If you're still engaging system two in your decision making and then you're strategically offloading tasks to AI, right?

So you've got some deliberative thought and you're saying, I'm going to intentionally use AI for this element of cognition, right?

That's what we call cognitive offloading.

Mm-hmm.

Whereas if you aren't engaging deliberative thinking and then you're deferring outsourcing your thinking to AI, that's what we call cognitive surrender.

So whether or not artificial thinking overrides systems one or two depends on how you're engaging system three.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, particularly, let's say, for analyzing large data sets, you know, very quickly, you can't really do that with your own critical thinking.
