AI and the Brain

​AI is reshaping the world. What is it doing to your brain?

​With support from MIT's SHASS+ fund, we are designing an ambitious longitudinal study of how AI might reshape human intellect. This will involve working with thousands of people on a continuing basis to discern linkages, whether positive or negative, between AI usage and various aspects of cognitive function. Our work draws inspiration from the Framingham Heart Study - one of the longest running biomedical research efforts in the world that has yielded deep insights about how environmental and lifestyle factors impact cardiovascular health.

​We invite you to join MIT leadership, leading researchers, and voices from industry and the nonprofit world for a conversation on what large-scale science can teach us, and what we're already learning about AI's effects on how we think, learn, and work.
