In this episode of The Automation Show, I dive into a concerning side effect of AI and automation: the impact on critical thinking skills among youth. This conversation comes from the recent introduction of ChatGPT in Canadian schools, which has sparked worries about students relying too heavily on AI tools for problem-solving instead of developing their own independent critical thinking abilities. I emphasize the importance of balancing AI use with fostering traditional problem-solving skills, both in classrooms and at home. The goal is to encourage educators and parents to guide students in using AI as an enhancement tool, rather than a crutch, while promoting independent thinking and a deeper understanding of processes.
