Research Shows Smartphone Reliance Causes Mental Impairment Worse Than Drunk Driving

What was said

"There's some research that has come out over the last year from Carnegie Mellon, Oxford, MIT, UCLA that basically says that reliance on AI is kind of stunting our problem-solving skills, our memory retention, I think there was one study that even compared the mental impairment of reliance on these tools to that of a drunk driver and concluded that it's even worse."

Rich Roll cited recent studies from Carnegie Mellon, Oxford, MIT, and UCLA showing AI tool dependence impairs cognitive function more severely than alcohol intoxication. The research suggests people are functionally impaired throughout the day, with lasting neurological effects especially pronounced in younger users.
