Reading as a Foundation for Cognitive Growth, with AI as a Support Tool

According to Dr. Advait Sarkar artificial intelligence can significantly influence the way humans think. He suggests that AI often generates a narrower range of ideas, which may limit deeper thinking and originality. When we depend too heavily on AI, we may retain less information, whereas ideas we develop through our own thinking are more likely to stay with us. This is why it is so important to strengthen children’s minds through metacognition, and reading can play a powerful role in developing that ability.
