Learning Tool or Cognitive Crutch?

from AI for Educators Hosted by Dan Fitzpatrick | The AI Educator

ChatGPT and AI tools may be reshaping brain health and learning in children and adults. Based on a powerful Diary of a CEO episode with Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Terry Sejnowski, this deep dive explores the neurological risks of overusing AI, the decline of critical thinking, and how educators can respond. I’m proud to announce a new book for educators called “The Educators’ AI Guide 2026”. It includes contributions from hundreds of teachers and education leaders. Click here to find out more.
