📉 AI Tools Might Lower Your Critical Thinking

A new study by Researcher Michael Gerlich at the Swiss Business School reveals that the more people use AI tools, the worse they perform on critical thinking tests. He used Halpern Critical Thinking Assessment (HCTA) to measure participants' abilities.

Insights for you:

• A study of 666 participants found that frequent use of AI tools is associated with lower scores on critical thinking tests, particularly among younger users aged 17-25.

• The researchers attribute this decline in critical thinking skills to cognitive offloading, where people rely on AI to handle thinking tasks instead of working through problems themselves.

• Higher education appears to mitigate the negative effects of AI on critical thinking. The researcher also suggests that schools must find the right balance between AI tools.

Nvidia
⚡️ Nvidia CEO claims their AI chips are outpacing Moore's Law

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said improvements to the chip giant’s hardware are outpacing Moore’s Law. The bold claim from Nvidia’s CEO comes at a time when many are questioning whether AI’s progress has stalled. Huang rejects the idea that AI progress is slowing.

Insights for you:

• Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the performance of his company’s AI chips is advancing faster than historical rates set by Moore’s Law.

• Moore’s Law is the theory that the number of transistors on computer chips would double every two years. The term was coined by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965.

• Huang claims that Nvidia’s AI chips are moving at an accelerated pace of their own: its latest data center Superchips is more than 30x faster for running AI inference workloads than its previous generation.

Microsoft
⚛️ Microsoft's unveils MatterGen for generating new materials

Microsoft Research has unveiled two AI tools, MatterGen and MatterSim, that take a fresh approach to developing new materials. Instead of searching through existing options, these tools can create and validate entirely new materials from scratch.

Insights for you:

• Microsoft Research has introduced two AI tools called MatterGen and MatterSim that can generate new materials with desired properties and simulate their behavior in real-world conditions.

• MatterGen uses a special diffusion algorithm to generate three-dimensional molecular structures. In collaboration with a research institute, a material proposed by MatterGen has already been successfully synthesized.

• MatterSim complements the generation process by using quantum mechanics and machine learning to simulate the properties of proposed materials under realistic conditions.
