In Short: A study by the University of Bath warns that managers relying on AI tools like ChatGPT may be failing to develop their own insights.

A study by the University of Bath has warned that managers who rely on artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are at risk of undermining their own judgment and failing to develop insights they might gain through experience, according to a report in Personnel Today.

The research highlights that managers who 'outsource thinking' to AI are not only missing out on valuable learning opportunities but also potentially weakening their decision-making skills.

Jo Faragher, the author of the report, notes, 'Relying on these tools means managers are not developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that come with hands-on experience.

The study suggests that managers need to use AI as a tool to enhance their knowledge and decision-making, rather than relying on it as a substitute for their own judgment and experience.
