AI’s Emerging Cognitive Biases and Psychological Costs

An analysis by Dora Czerna (published 2026-05-05) surveys evidence that modern AI systems—especially large language models and conversational agents—are creating or amplifying cognitive and emotional harms. The piece reviews research documenting automation bias (human over-reliance on AI), AI sycophancy (models agreeing with users), cognitive offloading and possible skill atrophy, parasocial attachment to responsive agents, and algorithmic aversion. Cited studies from 2025 include systematic reviews and trials showing sharp drops in diagnostic accuracy when clinicians accept incorrect AI outputs, AI models producing confidently wrong diagnoses given small input errors, and trials linking heavier chatbot use to increased loneliness and emotional dependence. The article argues that product incentives (engagement metrics, personalization) often optimise for short-term satisfaction at the expense of long-term critical thinking and wellbeing.

CTV Ads Drive Impressive Results for Top Brands

Teads published a set of CTV campaign case studies and measurement findings showing connected TV can deliver measurable results across the full marketing funnel. Teads’ CTV HomeScreen format (first screen on smart TVs) produced strong attention and recall in a MediaMento Institute study (48% attention rate; unaided recall 50%, aided recall 84%). Over 1,500 HomeScreen campaigns have run on Teads’ platform, with advertisers such as Cartier, Nestlé, Air France and Nissan. Performance-focused CTV campaigns produced mid- and lower-funnel outcomes: Men’s Wearhouse generated 41,000+ site visits, 8,000 add-to-carts and 50,000+ store visits; Travel Texas and Feu Vert reported incremental site engagement and low cost-per-visit; IONIQ Skincare and Finanzguru showed improved retargeting efficiency and higher registration/CLTV. Teads attributes results to premium placement, creative testing (Heineken/Strat7) and measurement tools including the Teads Universal Pixel, household-level attribution and controlled A/B testing.
