Designing Minds for the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Introducing the role of the Cognitive Designer—a new discipline at the intersection of AI, education, and cognitive science. Inspired by embodied cognition and Piaget’s developmental stages, we believe the road to AGI begins not with machines that think like adults, but with machines that learn like children
Cognitive Design = designing AI that learns, develops, and grows like humans do.
Moves beyond algorithms → considers body, environment, and experience (embodied cognition).
Rooted in the principle: to create great AI educators, we must first create humble AI children.
Just as architects shape buildings, cognitive designers shape AI minds.
Guide reinforcement learning with developmental insights.
Balance innate templates (nature) with curriculum and environment (nurture).
Integrate ethics + pedagogy into AI growth.
