[CogSci] Workshop on Augmented Intelligence

[Marina Dubova]

Dear colleagues,


We invite you to participate in the upcoming workshop
<https://sites.google.com/view/augintworkshop/home> on Augmenting
Individual Intelligence by Collaborating with People and Technologies,
supported by the National Science Foundation Program in the Science of
Learning and Augmented Intelligence
<https://beta.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/science-learning-and-augmented-intelligence>.
This workshop is distributed both geographically and temporally, and we
will meet weekly starting on June 16th. The premise for the workshop is to
explore the confluence of theoretical, empirical, and technological
advances for developing a unified science of intelligent systems that
extends beyond the individual person. The workshop will coordinate the
efforts of computer scientists, psychologists, education researchers,
neuroscientists, and biologists to lay the foundations for a new science of
augmented intelligence, premised on the observation that people very rarely
solve problems or develop understandings on their own. Instead, people
recruit other people and technologies to help them, and to such a large
extent that the apt unit for understanding cognition is typically not an
individual person, but rather a larger system that incorporates multiple
people and the tools that they have created to help them coordinate.
Through interactive workshops, we will grapple with theoretical and applied
questions involving the nature of minds, how adaptive systems come into
existence that can robustly solve a wide range of problems, and how humans
and machines can complement each other’s strengths during learning and
creation. Hope to see you at the workshop!
