Episode 11: From Bacteria to AI, Rethinking Cognition, Learning & Human Potential
What if intelligence isn’t just human, and learning isn’t just for brains?
In this episode of STAI Tuned, Stella and Aiden explore Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with Our Nonhuman Symbionts by renowned theorist N. Katherine Hayles. From microbial memory to GPT-4, Hayles argues that cognition is everywhere, and that we’re entering a new era of “technosymbiosis” where learning is distributed across networks of humans, machines, and even biology.
But this isn’t science fiction. It’s a wake-up call for anyone designing learning today. We unpack what this radical shift means for training, coaching, corporate learning, and workplace development, and how Smart-Training AI brings these ideas to life through adaptive, brain-awar ...
