• Has AI Ended Thought Leadership?

  “Has AI Ended Thought Leadership?”   As generative AI and content platforms make it effortless to sound authoritative, organizations are being overwhelmed by polished insight that rarely translates into real change. The growing gap between those who talk about the future of work and those who actually build it has turned expertise into performance, leaving leaders…

• Active Construction of Past Episodes

  “The active construction of past episodes” Episodic memories – declarative memories of past events, characterized by rich spatiotemporal context – play a central role in guiding perception and behaviour. Here, we advance a model that integrates episodic memories within the active inference framework. We describe how episodic memories are incorporated into the generative models used…

• Wise Machines

  “Imagining and building wise machines: the centrality of AI metacognition” Although artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly smart, its wisdom has not kept pace. In this opinion article, we examine what is known about human wisdom and sketch a vision of its AI counterpart. We introduce human wisdom as strategies for solving intractable problems—those outside…

• what felt like a communication problem is a thinking problem

  “Betting blind on AI and the scientific mind” Our brains when we stop writing Writing is, for many, a way of thinking. Using chatbots to bypass the struggle to articulate thoughts might erode a scientist’s capacity for creativity and critical thinking, writes science-communication educator and neuroscientist Tim Requarth. The evidence either way is, so far,…

• Intuitive insight: Fast associative processes drive sound creative thinking

  “Intuitive insight: Fast associative processes drive sound creative thinking” Convergent thinking, the ability to find a single optimal solution to a well-defined problem, is considered a core component of creativity, and is often assumed to rely on controlled, deliberative processes. We tested this assumption using the Compound Remote Associates (CRA) test, where participants have to…

  “Collective predictive coding as model of science: formalizing scientific activities towards generative science” This article proposes a new conceptual framework called collective predictive coding as a model of science (CPC‑MS) to formalize and understand scientific activities. Building on the idea of CPC originally developed to explain symbol emergence, CPC‑MS models science as a decentralized Bayesian…

• Fast, slow, & metacognitive

  “Fast, slow, and metacognitive thinking in AI” Inspired by the ”thinking fast and slow” cognitive theory of human decision making, we propose a multi-agent cognitive architecture (SOFAI) that is based on ”fast”/”slow” solvers and a metacognitive module. We then present experimental results on the behavior of an instance of this architecture for AI systems that…

  “Defining intelligence: Bridging the gap between human and artificial perspectives“ Achieving a widely accepted definition of human intelligence has been challenging, a situation mirrored by the diverse definitions of artificial intelligence in computer science. By critically examining published definitions, highlighting both consistencies and inconsistencies, this paper proposes a refined nomenclature that harmonizes conceptualizations across the two disciplines.…

• Will We Ever Have Conscious Machines?

  The question of whether artificial beings or machines could become self-aware or conscious has been a philosophical question for centuries. The main problem is that self-awareness cannot be observed from an outside perspective and the distinction of being really self-aware or merely a clever imitation cannot be answered without access to knowledge about the mechanism’s…

  Philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark challenges our conventional understanding of the mind’s interaction with the world. A great and entertaining lecture. I like the reflection with the reference to the weather forecast and how the forecast impacts “reality” perception. At the very least, understanding all those prediction-driven, precision-inflected, looping influences should bring us a…

  For over a century, psychology has focused on uncovering mental processes of a single individual. However, humans rarely navigate the world in isolation.The most important determinants of successful development, mental health, and our individual traits and preferences arise from interacting with other individuals. Social interaction underpins who we are, how we think, and how we…

  Interoception refers to the process by which the nervous system senses and integrates signals originating from within the body, providing a momentary mapping of the body’s internal landscape and its relationship to the outside world.
