Rethinking Human-AI Interaction and Cognitive Infrastructure

The field of human-AI interaction is shifting towards a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between humans and artificial intelligence. Researchers are exploring new frameworks and approaches that prioritize cognitive development, autonomy, and agency in human-AI collaboration. The concept of cognitive infrastructure is emerging as a key area of study, recognizing that AI systems fundamentally reshape human cognition and influence what is knowable and actionable in digital societies. Noteworthy papers in this area include: The Architecture of Cognitive Amplification, which introduces Enhanced Cognitive Scaffolding as a resolution to the comfort-growth paradox in human-AI cognitive integration. Invisible Architectures of Thought, which introduces Cognitive Infrastructure Studies as a new interdisciplinary domain to reconceptualize AI as cognitive infrastructures.
