Luc De Brabandere
"The art of thinking in a digital world"
Summary
A better understanding of the way we think in a digital world is a must. Today, cognitive scientists are as important as data scientists, since algorithms are made of both technology and psychology. What is “attention”, “curiosity”, “doubt”, “creativity”, “memory”, “experience”, “intuition”, “consciousness” “intelligence” “critical thinking” and even “responsibility”? All those questions need an updated answer in a digital world.
