"Intelligence is shifting from minds to systems to something beyond cognition."
"This scaffold is beginning to shake as AI generates insights without introspection or memory."
"Not just machines getting smarter; intelligence is escaping our previous boundaries."
"Cognition may be a scaffold or a step, not the end of intelligence's evolution."
The article posits that cognition, often seen as the pinnacle of intelligence, may actually be a scaffolding structure built to help us navigate complexity. As AI evolves, generating insights without human-like memory or introspection, the traditional understanding of intelligence is evolving. The author introduces a framework to trace this change through three stages: from localized cognition, where intelligence is confined to the mind, to distributed intelligence, which reflects a shift beyond cognitive boundaries.
