Cognitive Boundaries and Collaborative Intelligence
Why Working Memory Limits Make Expert-AI Collaboration Work Expertise is shaped by a simple cognitive limit: we can hold only
In our Chronicle study tracking how over 1,000 professionals adapt psychologically to AI, the highest-performing AI collaborators were using AI to help them build better abstractions.
Experienced professionals can become more valuable with AI using these three critical abilities that turn decades of experience into competitive advantage rather than liability.
The medium isn’t just the message anymore. The medium is now the meaning.
At the Artificiality Institute, we want to know how to think better with AI. Over the past two and a half years, we've studied how over 1,000 people are adapting to this collision of intelligences. What we found challenges almost everything being said about AI and productivity.
People are forming psychological relationships with AI systems that feel unprecedented to them. The Chronicle maps the psychological changes happening as people incorporate AI into their thinking, creativity, and daily relationships.
AI is evolving from models to systems to agents—autonomous entities that act, adapt, and collaborate. As intelligence emerges from interactions, the future of AI depends on context, trust, and workflow integration. How we design social AI today will shape its role in amplifying human intelligence.
