🎙️ What happens when AI takes the wheel?
A Stanford researcher explains how AI-assisted driving hinders cognitive ability
I had the pleasure of chatting with Cecilia Callas about our recent work (osf.io/preprints/ps...) evaluating the costs of humans sharing control with AI, implications for society, and the current government attack on scientific research.

This work suggests that as partial automation proliferates, the benefits of AI interventions should be weighed against the costs to human behavior and control. Huge contributions from Kriti Achyutuni, @jahrios.bsky.social, Henry Jones, Logan Bennett, and @russpoldrack.bsky.social

New preprint (osf.io/preprints/ps...) evaluating how shared control environments, like partially automated cars, influence human cognitive control. In short, response inhibition was impaired in multiple ways when subjects were told that an AI will usually stop for them, but infrequently it doesn’t.
