The Future of AI: Between Piaget and Maslow
AI has the potential to transform human lives in countless ways, but to fully realize its potential, it must grow beyond just a tool for automation. The goal of AI, as we see it, is to land somewhere between two important psychological theories: Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. These frameworks help us understand how humans learn, grow, and achieve their full potential, and they can serve as a guiding vision for what AI could ultimately become.
