Swiss Business School: AI's Impact on Critical Thinking

Jeremy WeaverJanuary 6, 2025

The study finds that frequent use of AI tools is negatively associated with critical thinking skills, suggesting that while AI has benefits, there is a need for educational strategies to counteract cognitive offloading and maintain robust critical thinking abilities.

Swiss Business School: AI's Impact on Critical Thinking



Summary of Read Full Report

This research study explores the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool usage on critical thinking skills.  The study employed a mixed-method approach, using surveys and interviews with 666 participants to investigate the relationship between AI use, cognitive offloading, and critical thinking abilities.

Quantitative analyses, including ANOVA and correlation analysis, revealed a significant negative correlation between frequent AI tool use and critical thinking scores. Qualitative data from interviews supported these findings, highlighting concerns about AI dependence and reduced cognitive engagement.

The research concludes that while AI tools offer benefits,  educational strategies are needed to promote critical thinking in an AI-driven world.

Why does owning the AI stack matter?

ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.

  • You own all the code and the data

    Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.

  • Model-agnostic

    Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.

  • No per-seat pricing

    Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.

  • Deploy anywhere

    Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.

Agent Skill Catalogs Are a Supply Chain. Who Signs Yours?

Enterprise teams have stopped asking how to deploy an agent and started asking who is allowed to publish a skill. NVIDIA's verified skill pipeline treats agent capabilities as signed software artifacts — which makes the catalog a supply chain, and raises the question of who holds the signing key.
