A new experiment conducted by Bill Gates has determined how human beings are acting in the face of the exponential growth of artificial intelligence and, although it is good for society, also I could create cognitive problems in the future.
With the growing demand and the evolution that the sector has had, incredible innovations have been created such as Depseek functions or new proposals such as Grok, Cloud and Google Gemini.
Of course, these tools provide information, criteria, task automation and content generation with Prompts. That is to say, They are virtual assistants that serve to increase productivity.
While there is still much to go, the great impact it has had on the world has made people begin to depend a little on it Or that is what Microsoft has ended with one of his most recent studies.
Generative AI affects the critical thinking of humans, according to a Microsoft study

Microsof has officially shared the data on its experiment on the impact of generative artificial intelligence in people regarding critical thinking. Apparently, the results suggest that it affects the confidence to the criteria of the workers.
As explained in the report, the main objective of the process they have done with different test subjects has been to respond to two unknowns. The first is How do people act with their critical thinking When using these tools and the other is to understand how it influences the effort.
To achieve this, They have had to investigate 319 employees in order to determine how the skills of each of them develop when implementing the Genai as an assistant.
In this way a total of 936 examples of work activities carried out that are directly linked to cognitive functioning were obtained, concluding that there is a very important factor in these practices: trust.
«Quantitatively, considering both the specific factors of the task and a user, a specific self -confidence and confidence confidence in Genai are predictive of critical thinking is promulgated and the effort to do so in the tasks assisted by Genai» . – Microsoft.
The data reveal that A part of the participants fully trusted the AIleaving aside the critical thinking to only investigate without hesitation of the answers.
The other percentage highlighted by having confidence in themselves, with critical thinking before using the content provided by the assistant. This second group caused qualitative findings to be generated.
What they have discovered is that the change of the Critical way of thinking of workers with self -confidence and experiencethey tend to “verify the information” generated, as well as a good practice with the “integration of answers and a greater organization” with their respective tasks when using the AI.
That is, if things are going as now, in the future the workers will focus on these three pillars when they are repetitive jobs, thus modifying critical thinking to adapt to new technologies.

Yes, it is an experiment that sounds so great, as terrifying, since it seems that there will be more dependence on artificial intelligence. But the same will be done as always, coevolve together with technology.
In fact, Microsoft states that these “ideas reveal new design challenges and opportunities to develop tools”, being something that may continue to improve, especially with the arrival of projects such as Openai Operator, which is an AI agent.
The impact on the working world as in daily life will be giant, because according to the study, what will happen to people is that they may use the AI, which will make it less ability to solve general problems on your own.
In addition, as mentioned, workers could make the mistake of blindly trusting the data generatedbeing something that would not be very beneficial for the intellectual development of humanity.
However, everything can be very different, for good, such as the fact of Learn to use it properly with self -confidence and that it is only as an assistant that helps more efficiency with new forms of collaboration.
All this will be proven as the years go by, but there is no doubt that artificial intelligence will be totally different in 2030 and the other years, so both Microsoft, and the other companies will surely find ways to adapt these tools properly.
