Swiss Business School: AI's Impact on Critical Thinking

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.

Shadow AI Is Already Inside Every Government Agency

Unsanctioned AI use is already routine across federal agencies, and in government the exposure is statutory rather than commercial — Privacy Act records sent to commercial providers, federal records generated in systems the agency cannot subpoena, supply-chain restrictions under EO 13873, and mosaic classification spillage. This post maps each exposure to its legal basis and gives the data-classification tiers that decide which workloads need managed cloud, agency-controlled infrastructure, or a fully air-gapped deployment.

The Open-Weight Tipping Point: Two 2-Trillion-Parameter Models

Two models above 2 trillion parameters became available as open weights in a single week: Moonshot's Kimi K3 at 2.8T with a 1M-token context, and Alibaba's Qwen 3.8-Max at 2.4T with 95B active per token. This post does the memory arithmetic on what it actually takes to serve models that size, prices the alternatives, and explains why the durable advantage is model-agnostic infrastructure rather than any single model.

AI Agent Security Is an Infrastructure Problem, Not a Feature

Uber's security lead says securing AI agents is what keeps him up at night, and Google just shipped agent evaluation tooling to production. The tooling layer is maturing; the infrastructure question underneath it is not. This post explains why you cannot fully secure an agent whose reasoning runs on someone else's servers, and gives the five-question perimeter test to run on any agent platform before you sign.

Q2 2026 Earnings: AI Infrastructure Pays — For Whoever Owns It

The quarter ending June 30, 2026 settled the question of whether AI infrastructure pays off: AWS grew 37% to $42.2B, Google Cloud 82% to $24.8B, Azure crossed $100B annualized, and Copilot passed 30 million paid seats. This post does the arithmetic on what those seats cost a 10,000-person enterprise versus token-priced and self-hosted alternatives, and shows where the return actually lands.
