“The AI Detox: Force the Brain to Exercise”
By Assoc. Prof.Voraprapa Nakavachara, Ph.D.
Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University
Economics Column Chulalongkorn University Perspective, Economic Base Newspaper Issue 4228
- - - - -
🔵 KEY POINTS
🔹 Over-reliance on AI can deprive the brain of opportunities to practice analytical thinking and reduce the use of critical thinking.
🔹 The concept of “AI Detox” involves deliberately setting aside time to stop using AI temporarily, such as for one or two days, in order to encourage the brain to work and exercise on its own.
🔹 Activities during an AI Detox focus on exercising different cognitive skills, such as problem-solving, reasoning, memory, and playing strategy-based games, without relying on AI.

📢 Public Lecture | Economics of Anti-Corruption Course
🌍 "Corruption and Sustainable Development"
Corruption isn't just about bribes and kickbacks — it's a barrier standing in the way of a sustainable future for the entire planet.
Join Professor Robert Gillanders, Professor of Economics at Dublin City University Business School and researcher at the DCU Anti-Corruption Research Centre, one of the world's leading scholars on the economics of corruption.
Explore the evidence showing how corruption undermines progress on nearly every SDG:
💸 Why are corrupt countries poorer? Is corruption "sand in the wheels" of the economy — or "grease"?
🏗️ When bribes make buildings collapse — 83% of deaths from building collapses occur in anomalously corrupt countries
🏥 Corruption and access to clean water, healthcare, and education — and why the poor pay the highest price
🌡️ How corruption weakens climate policy and holds back green innovation
⚖️ Sexual corruption — the hidden risks facing women and vulnerable groups that too often go unspoken
Fighting corruption isn't just a job for lawyers — it's a challenge for everyone who wants a more sustainable world. 🌱
📅 13 August 2026

💻 Zoom Meeting

🗣️ Conducted in English, free of charge, no registration required

📢 เชิญชวนร่วมฟังการบรรยายสาธารณะในรายวิชา Economics of Anti-Corruption
ในวันที่ 13 สิงหาคม 2569 เวลา 16.00-18.00 น. ผ่านทาง Zoom Meeting

🌍 "Corruption and Sustainable Development"
คอร์รัปชันไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องเงินทอน แต่คือกำแพงขวางการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืนของโลกทั้งใบ

ร่วมหาคำตอบกับ Professor Robert Gillanders ศาสตราจารย์ด้านเศรษฐศาสตร์จาก Dublin City University Business School และนักวิจัยประจำ DCU Anti-Corruption Research Centre ผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านเศรษฐศาสตร์ว่าด้วยคอร์รัปชันระดับโลก

พบกับหลักฐานเชิงประจักษ์ที่ชี้ว่าคอร์รัปชันส่งผลต่อเป้าหมายการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืน (SDGs) แทบทุกข้อ:

💸 ทำไมประเทศที่คอร์รัปชันสูงจึงยากจนกว่า — คอร์รัปชันคือ "ทรายในฟันเฟือง" หรือ "น้ำมันหล่อลื่น" ของเศรษฐกิจกันแน่?
🏗️ เมื่อสินบนทำให้ตึกถล่ม — 83% ของผู้เสียชีวิตจากอาคารถล่มเกิดขึ้นในประเทศที่คอร์รัปชันรุนแรง
🏥 คอร์รัปชันกับการเข้าถึงน้ำสะอาด สาธารณสุข และการศึกษา — ทำไมคนจนจึงแบกรับต้นทุนมากที่สุด
🌡️ คอร์รัปชันบ่อนทำลายนโยบายด้านสภาพภูมิอากาศและนวัตกรรมสีเขียวอย่างไร
⚖️ Sexual corruption — ความเสี่ยงที่ผู้หญิงและกลุ่มเปราะบางต้องเผชิญ ซึ่งแทบไม่ถูกพูดถึง

เพราะการแก้คอร์รัปชันไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของนักกฎหมาย แต่เป็นโจทย์ของทุกคนที่อยากเห็นโลกที่ยั่งยืนกว่าเดิม 🌱
