Today’s Talk: Understanding Cognitive Systems• What is a cognitive system (entity)…• Biological?• Digital?

• How to…• Build them?• Understand them?• Work with them?

• Steps toward a next generation cognitive curriculum…• Types of digital cognitive systems?• Types of courses?

What is a biological cognitive system (BCS entity)?

Page 4: Understanding 20161128 v8

05/01/2023 Understanding Cognitive Systems 4

What is a digital cognitive system (DCS entity)?

Page 5: Understanding 20161128 v8

05/01/2023 Understanding Cognitive Systems 5

Build them (BCS)? 10 million minutes of experience

Page 6: Understanding 20161128 v8

05/01/2023 Understanding Cognitive Systems 6

Build them (BCS)? 2 million minutes of experience

Page 7: Understanding 20161128 v8

05/01/2023 7

Build them (DCS)? Computers, data, building blocks & service offerings

Build them (BCS + DCS)? Socio-technical system designhardware < software < data < experience < transformation

Understand them?• Observe Them: Predictable and Auditable?

• BCS: Sometimes predictable and auditable (natural, evolved, experiences, free will)• DCS: Mostly predictable and auditable (artificial, designed, algorithms, blockchain)

• Hardware:• BCS: Brain-based (neurons)• DCS: Microprocessor-based (transistors)

• Software:• BCS: (People and Experiences) Evolution & Psychology, Cognitive Science• DCS: (Machines and Algorithms) Design & Engineering, Computer Science

• Data, Experience, Transformation?• BCS & DCS: External environment & sensing (Data), Internal processes, communications,

storage (Information & experience), Philosophy of life, values (Transformation)

Steps Toward a Next GenerationCognitive Curriculum

• 2016• “How to build a cognitive system for Q&A task.”• 9 months to 40% question answering accuracy• 1-2 years for 90% accuracy, which questions to reject

• 2026• “How to use cognitive assistants to be a better professional X.”• Tools to build a student level Q&A from textbook in 1 week

• 2036• “How to use your cognitive mediator to build a startup.”• Tools to build faculty level Q&A for textbook in one day• Cognitive mediator knows a person better (in some ways)

than they know themselves (identity & responsibility)

• 2046 & 2056• “How to manage your workforce of digital workers.”• 2046: 10 digital workers each; 2056: 100 digital workers each

Next Generation Cognitive Curriculum:Intelligence Building Blocks

• IntelligenceAugmentation (IA)• Science• Design• Business• Society• Interdisciplinary

• ArtificialIntelligence (AI)• Learning• Perception• Reasoning• Interaction• Knowledge

What types of digital cognitive systems (DCS)? • Cognitive Build: Outthink Challenge (250K people)

• Imagine a digital cognitive system to help you do something important in your personal or professional lives

• Team to design it and advocate for it, and then everyone votes

• Winners: reduce waste and human suffering, screen for health issues and safety threats, learn life skills and make better choices, find what you are looking for, move around more effectively, provide emotional support, provide IT support, learn about important public policy goals and make better choices

• Types: Tool, Assistant, Collaborator, Coach, Mediator
