AI can be your most powerful productivity tool… or a shortcut to cognitive decline. Neuroscientist Dr. Sahar Yousef and AI education company CEO Greg Shove debate the ultimate question: “AI feels like borrowing 30 IQ points, but will it ultimately make us dumber?” They will share new, unpublished UC Berkeley data showing that most “AI augmentation” is shallow cognitive offloading in disguise and outline a research-backed playbook for HOW you can leverage AI without losing what makes you most valuable: your mind.
