easier. In academia, studentsembrace the technologies, viewing them “as an enabler, freeing them from the humdrum of rote-learning,” and with some professors regarding them as tools that “free them from the ‘humdrum’tasks of writing assessment papers, giving them more time for research and curriculumdevelopment [23].” However, this could come at a cognitive cost. In a recent study, studentswere assigned to research an unfamiliar technical topic and make recommendations based ontheir research. Students were divided in to groups using standard search engines and those usingGAI. Results indicated that students using the AI tools had a lower “cognitive burden,” that is thenecessary “allocation of [the students’] cognitive resources” in multiple
