How to Stop AI from Killing Your Critical Thinking

We have solved the "blank page problem," but at what cost? In this thought-provoking talk, Microsoft Research’s Advait Sarkar argues that we are entering an age of "outsourced reason." By relying on AI to draft our emails, reports, and ideas, we risk becoming "intellectual tourists"—visiting ideas without ever truly inhabiting them—and turning into "middle managers for our own thoughts." Sarkar explains how current AI assistants can lead to a "boring hive mind," reduced creativity, and weaker memory retention. The solution isn't to abandon AI, but to reimagine it. Instead of tools that merely obey and automate, we need "tools for thought" that offer productive resistance. Watch as Sarkar demonstrates a research prototype that uses "lenses" and "provocations" to challenge users, spot fallacies, and scaffold metacognition. Discover how we can design AI that doesn't just do the thinking for us, but actually makes us think better. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CriticalThinking #FutureOfWork #GenerativeAI #MicrosoftResearch #HumanAgency #Tech #Productivity #AdvaitSarkar
