"Your Brain Isn't Built for Meetings. Here's How AI Fixes That" provides an in-depth analysis of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can address the inherent neurological challenges of modern professional meetings, arguing that human working memory is insufficient for the demands of multi-tasking and note-taking. Authored by Jerry A. Smith, the text synthesizes neuroscience research and cognitive theory to establish that typical meeting behavior results in cognitive overload and poor information encoding, citing studies on working memory limits and the ineffectiveness of manual note-taking. The core argument examines the potential benefits of AI augmentation—such as liberating working memory and creating permanent institutional memory—while thoroughly exploring critical risks, including privacy concerns, the potential for cognitive dependency (the "Google effect"), and the creation of a cognitive class system due to unequal access to expensive technology. Ultimately, the piece calls for rigorous controlled studies and ethical policy frameworks to ensure AI augmentation systems are designed for human flourishing rather than corporate surveillance or increased inequality.
