How it works
Intelligence amplification (IA), also known as cognitive augmentation, focuses on leveraging information technology to boost human intelligence. Instead of aiming to replace human intelligence with artificial intelligence, IA seeks to improve human cognitive abilities and decision-making processes. This can involve tools and systems that aid in complex analysis, learning, and creative thinking.
