A new study suggests that humans and new technologies may combine to create a new kind of understanding.
According to research, this new type of thinking exists outside the brain, but increases its cognitive abilities.
This idea is based on the idea of System 1 and System 2 thinking in Daniel Kahneman’s famous book. According to this idea, there are two aspects of thinking, System 1 is fast and emotional, while System 2 is slow and careful.
Now experts from an Italian university have proposed a new type of thinking called ‘System 0’, which they believe could dramatically change the way we think.
He said that this thinking depends on the capabilities of artificial intelligence and is outside the brain, but it is related to the brain.
The research compares AI to the ability of a computer to connect to an external drive and use the data on it. Similarly, humans can use AI to gather and analyze information. However, the ultimate control and decision-making power rests with the human being.
However, experts warn that relying on System 0 without practicing critical thinking can be dangerous.
Scientists presented the idea of System 0 in a paper published in the journal Nature Human Behavior.
