Outline

This paper explores how generative AI (GenAI) dramatically expands the scope and capabilities of automation in work, education, and everyday life, posing both risks and opportunities for cognitive capabilities. The CHI 2025 workshop sought to bridge the science of how GenAI uses to impact human thinking (e.g., metacognition, critical thinking, memory, and creativity) with research on the design and implementation of GenAI tools. Fifty-six researchers, designers, and thinkers gathered for a day of discussion, ideation, and community building, drawing on 34 papers and portfolios. This paper synthesizes these findings to map the landscape of research and design opportunities and foster a multidisciplinary community around this important research area.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary research on the impact of generative AI on human cognitive abilities.
Exploring ways to protect and enhance human cognitive abilities in the design and development of generative AI tools.
Mapping research and design opportunity areas related to generative AI and fostering the formation of a multidisciplinary research community.
Limitations:
Because this is a comprehensive analysis based on the opinions and papers of workshop participants, it may not fully cover the entire research field.
Because this study is based on the results of a short-term workshop, long-term trends and in-depth analysis may be lacking.
Rather than focusing on specific GenAI tool development and application cases, it focuses on suggesting research and design directions.
