Long-term and multi-perspective cognitive risks of AI use

Determine the cognitive risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence by establishing the impact of AI on human cognition over extended periods and from multiple perspectives, moving beyond short-term, narrow settings to develop a thorough understanding of how AI affects cognitive functions.

Background

Within the Cognitive Impacts section, the authors review short-term and task-specific findings across Bloom’s taxonomy but emphasize that most existing work is limited in scope and duration.

They explicitly note that cognitive risks are not yet fully understood and call for studies that assess AI’s effects over extended periods and from multiple perspectives to produce a comprehensive account of cognitive outcomes.
