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

That performance, that math was being done by the AI, right?

I mean, I'm hesitant to say that AI is making us dumber.

You know, we're going through a rapid technological transition.

And as we talked about before, right, AI is reshaping this cognitive ecology of how we reason, how we think, and how we make decisions.

And so during transitions, I mean, transitions are challenging.

And

Some things are lost and some things are gained.

And so is there a risk that AI will make us dumber?

Yes, I think there is a risk, right?

I mean, if we have people just blindly following what AI tells them, they're not even thinking for themselves, right?

And that's kind of part of the definition of being dumb, I guess, right?

Even if AI is telling them very smart things to do, they're not thinking independently and that's not really their own autonomy or agency.

But

I think, you know, we just have to be intentional and careful about how we use AI ourselves in our day to day.

And hopefully policymakers will pay attention to behavioral science and the science that's coming out around use of AI.

And we can implement effective policies in education, law, medicine that help us fight the rise of cognitive surrender in areas that we see as uniquely human.
