Summary / Read source ↗

- The computational model commonly cited in the AI industry simplifies the human brain to an input-process-output system, but this does not sufficiently reflect the brain's essential complexity and evolutionary development. - Neuroscientist Paul Cisek from the University of Montreal emphasizes that the brain should be seen as a 'feedback control system' dynamically interacting with the environment to regulate behavior, meaning complex cognitive processes are not separated from physical movement. - As AI use expands in education, side effects such as students avoiding assignments and declining critical thinking skills have been reported, posing a risk that AI cognitive assistance tools may reduce learning quality. - Some countries and educational institutions recognize the need to protect learners' autonomous thinking and adequate cognitive effort by banning or restricting AI use in schools for children under 13.

Editorial opinion startupxo

Paul Sisk's perspective of viewing the brain as a feedback control system seems to explain well the gap between AI and human cognition. The role AI plays in students' learning might be easily consumed like a 'cognitive hotdog,' but it could be harmful to fundamental thinking development. It's also impressive that countries like Norway have already implemented restrictions on AI use among young students. In Korea, there should be more discussions about the concrete impacts of AI in educational settings and appropriate control measures.
