Thinking first, then artificial intelligence

The article discusses a growing consensus among governments, universities, neuroscience researchers, and education specialists that the challenge of integrating technology into education has shifted from simply incorporating more technology to determining when, how, and at what stage of intellectual development it should be used. This shift reflects concerns over the impact of rapid technological adoption, such as digital classrooms, social media expansion, screen-based learning, and generative AI, on deep thinking and cognitive development. Some countries, like France, have implemented measures to restrict young people’s access to social media to protect their linguistic development, concentration, and reading habits. Similarly, elite universities such as the University of Chicago have limited AI use during the first year of study to ensure students develop foundational academic writing, logical reasoning, and analytical reading skills before relying on automated tools. The article highlights a broader cultural shift toward recognizing the importance of slow, deliberate learning processes over the fast-paced, fragmented consumption encouraged by digital platforms.
