We prefer the deep end. Our collection of Research and Perspective Papers is designed for those who value well-sourced, academic perspectives and evidence.
Our perspective pieces offer expert commentary, provocative arguments, and conceptual explorations across Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Human-AI Interactions, and Social Impact.
The prevalence of artificial intelligence systems, specifically generative artificial intelligence systems based on large-scale, billion and multi-billion parameter transformer models of human language, has become deeply integrated into nearly every existing major software suite on the market. It becomes appropriate to ask: what are the cognitive trade-offs, and how should we regard this technology that has now propagated into the mainstream so deeply? Namely, should Generative AI (GenAI) be treated as just another tool that can extend human ability, an extension of the human body and will, like a hammer? Should it be treated as deterministic automation? Or should it be treated as something else entirely?
