Is AI eroding PhD students’ critical thinking and analysis skills?

Graduate students increasingly use artificial-intelligence tools to search the literature, design presentations, generate code and summarize papers. But many researchers fear they could erode the very skills a doctorate is meant to build.

Nature’s careers team assembled three panellists to discuss the technology’s impact in a 60-minute webinar.

The event, held last month, was hosted by science journalist Julie Gould and included a live Q&A session. It is now available to watch.
