Does offloading thinking to AI cause cognitive atrophy or free our brains to think about more complex problems? That’s the million-neuron question. This provocative panel explores “adaptive intelligence”, where human and machine learning loops converge. A neuroscientist, futurist, and AI visionary unpack how co-learning systems, neuromorphic design, and spatial computing can amplify creativity, decision-making, and human agency in a world where algorithms don’t just support us, they shape us.
