Augmented human intelligence goes beyond the AGI mirage

This paper argues that contemporary Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) approaches face significant challenges that make Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) a more promising and practically beneficial alternative. Drawing on phenomenological insights from Peter-Paul Verbeek’s technological mediation theory and comprehensive empirical evidence from decades of AI development, we argue that current AGI projects encounter recurring difficulties that may stem from attempting to replace rather than enhance human intelligence. Through analysis of mediation theory’s core concepts, systematic examination of recent AI performance data, and comprehensive review of human–AI collaboration studies, we show why augmentation approaches consistently outperform replacement attempts across domains requiring creativity, judgment, and contextual understanding. Prioritizing sophisticated AHI development over AGI pursuit represents not a compromise but a fundamental reorientation toward more effective and ethically sound approaches to artificial intelligence that better serve human flourishing.

Agentic AI and the next intelligence explosion

For decades, the artificial intelligence (AI) “singularity” has been heralded as a single, titanic mind bootstrapping itself to godlike intelligence, consolidating all cognition into a cold silicon point. But this vision is almost certainly wrong in its most fundamental assumption. If AI development follows the path of previous major evolutionary transitions or “intelligence explosions,” our current step-change in computational intelligence will be plural, social, and deeply entangled with its forebears (us!).

The Care of the Self within a Biopolitical Paradigm: Integrating Cognitive Psychology to resist Subjectification

Contemporary theories of resistance to biopolitical subjectification often reify unfreedom by lacking a plausible model of agency. This thesis resolves this by establishing an ontological foundation for the agent as fundamentally autopoietic and semiotic, drawing on contemporary cognitive science. It then proposes a new foundation for resistance by synthesizing Michel Foucault’s later work on the care of the self with the 4P/5E model of embodied cognition. I show how this interdisciplinary approach establishes Foucault’s ethical techniques as a systematic ecology of practices for cultivating a free, self-determining agent and by reframing resistance as a practical, embodied ethics of self-formation, it inherently fosters two vital skills: the gain of self-knowledge and self-mastery.
