Generative AI as a cognitive co-learner: a developmental framework for AI literacy in health sciences education
Generative artificial intelligence (AI), especially large language models, is playing an expanding role in shaping learning within health sciences education. Current discussions often focus on efficiency or academic integrity, with less attention to how learners engage with AI across evolving cognitive and developmental stages. This Perspective conceptualizes generative AI as a cognitive co-learner, an interactive system that supports idea generation, organization, and reasoning while requiring
