Cognitive Augmentation

Cognitive augmentation aims to enhance human cognitive abilities through the integration of artificial cognitive systems. Current research focuses on improving the reasoning capabilities of smaller language models via cognitive enhancement techniques, developing robust and safe AI systems through adversarial prompting and belief augmentation, and understanding how different types of information provided by AI systems impact human cognitive accuracy and precision in collaborative human-AI ensembles. These advancements hold significant potential for improving human performance in various domains, from cybersecurity to scientific discovery, by creating more effective and reliable human-AI partnerships.
