AI’s Brain Drain: When Convenience Kills Critical Thinking

Feb. 18, 2025. Warning: Your AI assistant might be making you dumber. A Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon study reveals a shocking twist—generative AI tools are turning knowledge workers into cognitive couch potatoes, reducing critical thinking to mere fact-checking and response integration.

The future of transit maintenance? Smartphones, sensors, and a whole lot of machine learning.

AI could aid public transit track inspections
