The cognitive impact of AI | AI in Health
About This Webinar
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the way knowledge is created, accessed, and applied, and increasingly, how we think.
As AI becomes embedded in professional workflows, it is beginning to influence cognitive processes such as problem-solving, reasoning, and decision-making.
In this conversation, Professors Pereira and Faria-Jr explore the cognitive impact of AI, including how AI-supported tools shape “think-through” processes. We will also consider the broader implications for human cognition, academic and professional practice, and the future relationship between human expertise and intelligent systems.
