Outsourcing Thinking? How AI & Co. Influence Our Cognition

The term "Cognitive Offloading" refers to the use of external aids to support, complement, or completely replace internal cognitive processes. The ongoing technological advancement offers more and more possibilities for this: navigation apps are used for orientation, voice assistants to retrieve information, online calendars to avoid forgetting appointments, and generative AI to create tailored texts. Due to this close intertwining of our internal cognition with external "thinking tools," it is essential to research why and when such tools are used—and what implications this has for human thinking. An engaging, interactive presentation will take a closer look at "Cognitive Offloading".
