Neuroscientist warns AI thinking tools may weaken brain's natural defenses against dementia
DNyuz—A neuroscientist is raising concern that routinely delegating cognitive tasks to AI assistants could reduce the mental stimulation that keeps the brain resilient against dementia and cognitive decline. The argument draws on established research linking mental engagement to neurological health in aging adults. The warning arrives as AI tools are being adopted at scale for everything from email drafting to decision-making.
