Dr Chahna Gonsalves, Senior Lecturer at King's Business School, reveals how generative AI is transforming critical thinking in higher education through what she calls "epistemic offloading", the process of outsourcing intellectual work to tools like ChatGPT.This conversation examines how students are using AI to interpret readings, generate argument structures, and pre-evaluate their own work, shifting responsibility for core intellectual tasks.
