The Scary Truth About AI and Dementia No One's Talking About

Could artificial intelligence actually increase dementia risk? In this video, I break down new research from MIT that shows how relying too much on AI tools like ChatGPT may reduce brain activity, weaken memory, and cut down on the very mental exercise that protects us from dementia. I'll share what this study means for caregivers, how to use AI without harming your brain health, and simple ways to keep your mind strong while caring for your loved one. Your brain health matters just as much as your loved one's. Let's talk about what's safe, what's risky, and how to stay sharp in an AI world.
