Part 3/11:
The core takeaway isn’t that AI damages the brain permanently. Instead, the findings point to cognitive reallocation. Similar to how calculators shifted our focus from basic arithmetic to higher mathematics, AI reshapes how our brain allocates its resources. When introduced to AI tools, the brain adapts—showing increased neural activity in areas linked to memory recall and reasoning—indicating a shift, not a decline.
This understanding underscores a vital truth: our brains are adaptable and resilient. The perception that AI diminishes intelligence is misguided if we recognize the brain's capacity to rewire and reassign functions based on how we choose to use these tools.
