Researchers propose an “Offloading Score” for AI reliance
A University of Michigan team introduces Offloading Score, a new way to estimate how much cognitive effort users delegate to AI tools.
The metric is meant to quantify how much thinking people offload to AI, rather than just whether they use AI or how often they prompt it. The post points to the paper and credits the research team behind it.
