Human-AI Cognitive Development: Origin, Scope, and Authorship Note

This authorship and scope note defines Human-AI Cognitive Development as a named field direction introduced and developed by Marina A. Popova through Cognitivity Sculpting: Foundations of Human-AI Cognitive Development, Third Organism, and related public contribution records.

The note clarifies that Human-AI Cognitive Development does not refer to all uses of artificial intelligence, all forms of human-AI interaction, or general technological collaboration. It refers specifically to human-led cognitive development beside artificial cognition, where structured co-thinking, cognitive preservation, authorship, continuity, and responsibility remain central.

The note also distinguishes Human-AI Cognitive Development from adjacent areas such as AI productivity, agent automation, prompt engineering, cognitive offloading, AI literacy, and general responsible AI. Its purpose is to preserve the authored origin, scope, terminology, and structural direction of Human-AI Cognitive Development as developed in Marina A. Popova’s work.
