Digital technologies are an indispensable part of our everyday practices of generating, storing, and acquiring knowledge; we also know that they are designed to be persuasive and influence our behaviour. Existing research acknowledges that digital technologies have complicated social processes of acquiring knowledge. This project examines whether usingdigital technologies, such as search engines, social-networking-sites, smartphones, and natural language generators (e.g, ChatGPT), to produce knowledge requires cultivating specific cognitive skills and intellectual character traits. It interrogates how designers of technologies influence our practices of knowing and whether they should guide the cultivation of these skills and character traits.

数字技术是我们生成、存储和获取知识的日常实践中不可或缺的一部分；我们还知道它们旨在具有说服力并影响我们的行为。现有研究承认数字技术使获取知识的社会过程变得复杂。该项目研究使用搜索引擎、社交网站、智能手机和自然语言生成器（例如 ChatGPT）等数字技术来产生知识是否需要培养特定的认知技能和智力特征。它询问技术设计者如何影响我们的认知实践，以及他们是否应该指导这些技能和性格特征的培养。
