On Tuesday, April 7 at 11:00 a.m. ET, The Capitol Forum will host a conference call with Gideon Nave and Steven Shaw, researchers at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
This timely discussion will examine key findings from their recent paper, “Thinking—Fast, Slow, and Artificial: How AI is Reshaping Human Reasoning and the Rise of Cognitive Surrender,” including how the increasing use of generative AI is changing human decision-making. Their research introduces a “Tri-System Theory” of cognition, where AI functions as a third system of reasoning that can supplement or override traditional human thought processes.
For assistance, contact: events@tcfpress.com.
We will also touch on topics such as:
• The concept of “cognitive surrender” and how reliance on AI may alter human judgment and decision-making
• The emergence of a third system of reasoning beyond traditional fast and slow thinking models
• How AI accuracy and errors influence human performance, confidence, and trust
• Implications for workforce productivity, professional decision-making, and knowledge industries
• What investors, policymakers, and companies should watch as AI becomes embedded in everyday reasoning
We hope you can join us for what promises to be a timely and thought-provoking conversation.
