Misdefining AI as “intelligent” leads to governance failures; we should instead build Augmented Human Intelligence systems designed for human partnership rather than autonomy."

The author applies AI’s modular architecture to personal life, proposing a framework for deliberately allocating attention across seven life domains, turning living into a practice of conscious orchestration rather than reactive survival."

BCIs could enable real-time cognitive support by detecting biased thinking as it occurs, though current technology remains limited to medical applications and is far from consumer-ready cognitive augmentation.

True progress in AI requires moving from seductive, linear projections of scale to an iterative development chain built on modular architecture, feedback loops, and human-machine partnership, where wisdom emerges from correction and co-evolution, not from computation alone.

Humanity now produces more language than we can process, destabilizing our shared reality; to navigate this, we must build Augmented Human Intelligence systems that strengthen human attention and judgment rather than replace them with centralized oracles.
