  "summary": "Having an answer available is not the same as being able to draw on knowledge. Memory research invites us to distinguish what can be delegated from what work requires us to retain.",

  "keyPoints": [
    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Betsy Sparrow, Jenny Liu and Daniel Wegner (2011, Science) showed in experiments on remembering information that expecting future access can change what participants retain."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Finding an answer is not reconstructing it",
      "point": "Henry Roediger and Jeffrey Karpicke (2006, Psychological Science) showed that recalling studied material can support delayed retention more effectively than rereading it."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that AI should be restricted to make employees memorise more."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot establish",
      "point": "These studies address neither today's generative assistants nor lasting learning within professional teams."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Lausanne",
      "point": "Within « IA on the job », SHR could invite a Lausanne team — in medtech, higher education, an international sports federation or a Lake Geneva region scale-up — to select a professional rule it considers essential to master without assistance."
