Generative AI's impact on human cognitive capital explored in new review

A new review paper published on arXiv explores the concept of "cognitive capital" in the context of generative AI's increasing integration into knowledge work. The paper distinguishes between the capabilities of human-AI systems and the retained knowledge, skills, and judgment within individuals and organizations. It proposes four mechanisms by which AI interaction can affect cognitive capital, including substitution of practice, scaffolding, metacognitive calibration, and organizational aggregation, and outlines seven principles derived from current evidence.
