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.
