Nature covers MIT Media Lab's Nataliya Kosmyna research: ChatGPT users showed least brain connectivity while writing. Sparks debate about AI's cognitive effects. . @MITMediaLab @fluidinterfaces .#MITMediaLab #AHAMediaLab

New research from MIT Media Lab's Nataliya Kosmyna and team shows AI isn't just helping us write—it's making us think more alike. The New Yorker explores how this 'cognitive debt' is homogenizing our thoughts. .@MITMediaLab #MITMediaLab #AHAMediaLab

The MIT Media Lab has appointed Dr. Pat Pataranutaporn as Assistant Professor. A visionary technologist & scientist, Pat explores the frontier of human-AI interaction, inventing and investigating AI systems that support human thriving. .@MITMediaLab

Join us for an online seminar: "Post-AI Era Creativity: Redefining Boundaries " with Chuck Chae, award-winning director and the founder of ARIA Studios, moderated by Pat Pataranutaporn. . Zoom Webinar link: @MITMediaLab

MIT researchers found people trust AI medical advice more than doctors'—even when the AI is wrong. A concerning trend as AI becomes more common in healthcare. .@MITMediaLab #MITMedialab #AHAMediaLab

MIT Media Lab researchers Manuj Dhariwal and Shruti Dhariwal make a compelling point in the Boston Globe: AI can't really be your 'companion.' We need new words to describe these digital relationships. @mitmedialab #MITMediaLab #AHAMediaLab

Join us for an online seminar: "Shaping Experiences Beyond Interfaces through Human-Centered AI" with Albrecht Schmidt (Professor, LMU Munich), moderated by Pattie Maes. Hosted by MIT Media Lab's AHA research program. #AHAMediaLab #MITMediaLab
