ABSTRACT This talk will demonstrate how AI, via transformers, can lift limits on core cognitive processes like attention, synthesis, and retention. These insights will allow you to use AI more effectively to scaffold and accelerate your own learning. After all, generative AI can do far more to propel our learning than simply answer questions (important and helpful though that may be!). Generative AI is, in essence, a teacher—but it can teach better if you know how its properties are sometimes similar to, and sometimes very different from, how the human brain works.
