In this six-week pilot with graduate students, AI support boosted performance during training, yet participants&#39; unaided skills afterward were no better than before. The study finds that heavy reliance on the AI predicted less learning, and argues that training programs should measure what trainees can do without the tool, not just with it.</p> </div> <div class="pub-extras-grid"> <div class="pub-extras-card"> <h3>Key Contributions</h3> <p class="pub-muted">Key contributions will be added soon.</p> </div> <div class="pub-extras-card"> <h3>Artifacts</h3> <p class="pub-muted">No artifacts listed yet.</p> </div> <div class="pub-extras-card"> <h3>Related Papers</h3> <ul class="pub-related"> <li> <a href="https://bampel.com/conference_publication/sawtooth-19-isi/">Performance Modeling of Hyperledger Sawtooth Blockchain</a> <span>2019 · IEEE ISI</span> </li> <li> <a href="https://bampel.com/conference_publication/dtlel-isi/">Labeling Hacker Exploits for Proactive Cyber Threat Intelligence: A Deep Transfer Learning Approach</a> <span>2020 · IEEE ISI</span> </li> <li> <a href="https://bampel.com/journal_publication/dtl-el-misq/">Creating Proactive Cyber Threat Intelligence with Hacker Exploit Labels: A Deep Transfer Learning Approach</a> <span>2024 · MIS Quarterly</span> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="pub-extras-card"> <h3>Citation</h3> <div class="pub-citation"> <div class="pub-citation-text">Kameron Clark, Benjamin M.
