A recent study led by MIT Media Lab research scientist Nataliya Kos’myna has ignited a global media conversation about the cognitive costs of using AI like ChatGPT. The research project, titled Your Brain on ChatGPT, has been featured in major outlets including CNN, Nature, The New Yorker, USA Today, The Hill, The Independent, and Time, with headlines highlighting its core finding: overreliance on AI may reduce brain activity and memory recall.
From policy implications to educational impact, coverage has spanned continents and platforms, resonating with educators, technologists, and the public alike. The study’s innovative use of neuroimaging and its timely relevance in the AI age have positioned it at the center of a critical global debate on how emerging technologies are reshaping the human mind.
