Resumo

O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a relação entre o uso inadequado e excessivo da Inteligência Artificial (IA) por estudantes universitários e a preguiça cognitiva que podem apresentar, entendida como uma menor necessidade de ativar seus próprios processos cognitivos, mesmo em tarefas simples. Participaram 50 estudantes, com idades entre 19 e 25 anos, que responderam a um questionário com itens de múltipla escolha e escala Likert. As perguntas focaram na frequência de uso da IA, na dependência percebida e na redução do esforço mental.

Com os dados, foi construído um índice composto de preguiça cognitiva e estimado um modelo de regressão, cujos resultados se resumem em três pontos: cada aumento na frequência de uso triplica o risco de alta preguiça cognitiva (OR = 3,42); usar IA para tarefas pessoais quadruplica o risco (OR = 4,15); e o modelo explica 58% da variância.

Conclui-se que, sem uma regulação adequada, a IA tende a reduzir o envolvimento cognitivo. Portanto, sua integração no ensino superior deve promover o pensamento reflexivo, o uso consciente da tecnologia e a autonomia intelectual.
