Can A.I. Chatbots Experience Cognitive Decline?
What do AI chatbots and your grandma have in common? According to a surprising new study, both may be showing early signs of cognitive decline. When researchers put advanced AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini through a test designed for detecting dementia, the results were eye-opening—and a little unsettling.
A groundbreaking study published in the Christmas issue of the British Medical Journal has raised an unexpected and alarming question: Could Advanced AI models like ChatGPT or Gemini develop cognitive impairments similar to early-stage dementia in humans? Researchers tested some of the world’s leading language models (LLMs) using the widely respected Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)—a tool designed to detect early cognitive decline in humans—and the results were nothing short of startling.
