    Brain-Computer Interfaces

    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.

    From Wonder to Wisdom

    From Wonder to Wisdom

    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.

    The Human Attention Crisis

    The Human Attention Crisis

    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.
