I wrote recently about #AI for IA (intelligence augmentation) and it looks like Stanford is paying attention. ;-)

"We encourage the university to view goals in this space in line with the philosophy of Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) to make sure that the use of AI is centered on improving the human condition. Thus, we prefer to focus on “augmenting human capabilities” versus “replacing humans.”"

ChatGPTChatGPT - LLMs as Cognitive ToolsShared via ChatGPT

“We apply theories of human cognitive capabilities and limitations to understand how computers can best provide such cognitive support. The interdisciplinary nature of this work is reflected in the term cognitive engineering.”

This was written by an enthusiast. Could dialogic ai media be used for augmenting intellect? How about psychospiritual introspection?

AI as a Catalyst for Self-Actualization

"The integration of AI and LLMs into our personal and professional lives is not just about augmenting intelligence or automating tasks...it's about creating a space where technology acts as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery."
