Can't think of a better time for this talk...My teammate @advaitsarkar.bsky.social has made a powerful case for why we should design AI to augment our🧠 rather than think for us. Moreover, we have a vision for how we might get there.If you want to know what our Tools for Thought team has been up to👇

At #CHI2025, we ran a workshop on 🧠Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with #GenerativeAI What are the #HCI research+design opps in this space? 👉Read our new synthesis of the workshop: arxiv.org/abs/2508.21036
Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with Generative AI: A Synthesis of the CHI 2025 Tools for Thought Workshop
Generative AI (GenAI) radically expands the scope and capability of automation for work, education, and everyday tasks, a transformation posing both risks and opportunities for human cognition. How wi...

. Key topics: theories and perspectives for understanding, protecting, and augmenting thinking with GenAI; challenges in designing GenAI systems; measuring GenAI's impact; its effect on human skills and workflows; and guidelines for designing protective and augmentative GenAI systems. Organizers include experts from Microsoft Research, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, Tableau, University of Toronto, IBM Research, UCL, and Stanford. Logos of these institutions and the CHI 2025 logo appear at the bottom. The flyer features an illustration of a pensive person with a crowned bird on their head and the text "TOOLS FOR THOUGHT."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76dadnfugqbss4iwekw5blc/bafkreib3vcyby2ohginelta4sv7gse2r63znah2ot3sfmd5ec6qtlsu7n4)
