Are AI chatbots making us lose control of our brains?

MIT Technology Review 

This week I've been at SXSW London . There's been music, film, and a lot--and I mean --of talk about AI. I also had the opportunity to sit down with Gloria Mark, a psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, who has spent the last 30 years studying how people interact with digital technologies. Early in her career, the biggest concerns were the potential impacts of internet and email use on our brains. We may laugh those concerns off today, but it's true that as the technologies became more ubiquitous and ingrained in our daily lives, our attention spans began to shrink.
