Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?
