Opinion: The ability to remember you and your preferences is rapidly becoming a big selling point for AI chatbots and agents. That creates the potential for unprecedented privacy breaches that expose not only isolated data points, but the entire mosaic of people’s lives.

AI may be making our brains lazy. When we outsource writing, summarizing, and evaluating to tools like ChatGPT, we skip the "depth of processing" that helps us actually learn and think critically—and those cognitive muscles can atrophy from disuse.

Are AI chatbots making us lose control of our brains?

Yes, according to psychologist Gloria Mark. But there are ways to regain that control.
