What happens in the brain when we interact with technology?

💡 Working on the DIGIT_People and algorithms project has recently brought together two closely connected threads, both of which were developed with Anna Connor-Łakomy.

🧠 The first explores a key question: what happens in the brain when we interact with technology, and especially when we start delegating tasks to AI? In designing e-learning, this shifts the focus toward cognitive alignment, ensuring that AI supports learning rather than replacing the very processes that make learning possible.

The second was a lecture for our marketing students, where we asked:

👉 How to design work using artificial intelligence in a way that is consistent with the functioning of the human brain, so that technology empowers people rather than overloads them?

Across both threads, the core challenge remains the same:

➡️ How do we design AI-supported learning so that it strengthens thinking, rather than making it optional?

Our discussions on both topics were obviously too short 😉 We ended up with many questions, and our brains were about to explode because of the ideas that were coming, and coming, and coming 🤯

Anna Connor-Łakomy thank you very much for the inspiring sessions and for sharing your experience not only with us but also with our students 🫶
