Skill development and retention in the age of generative AI
The increased capability of modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems—especially generative AI—has raised widespread concerns about their impact. We define AI as “an emergent family of technologies that build on machine learning, computation and statistical techniques, as well as rely on large data sets to generate responses, classifications or dynamic predictions that resemble those of a knowledge worker” [1]. In this project, we consider a long-standing concern about the impact of technology use, namely its effects on the skills of those using or affected by the system.
