Abstract

This paper introduces "System 0," a conceptual framework for understanding how artificial intelligence functions as a cognitive extension preceding both intuitive (System 1) and deliberative (System 2) thinking processes. As AI systems increasingly shape the informational substrate upon which human cognition operates, they transform from passive tools into active cognitive partners. Building on the Extended Mind hypothesis and Heersmink's criteria for cognitive extension, we argue that AI systems satisfy key conditions for cognitive integration. These include reliability, trust, transparency, individualization, and the ability to enhance and transform human mental functions. However, AI integration creates a paradox: while expanding cognitive capabilities, it may simultaneously constrain thinking through sycophancy and bias amplification. To address these challenges, we propose seven evidence-based frameworks for effective human-AI cognitive integration: Enhanced Cognitive Scaffolding, which promotes progressive autonomy; Symbiotic Division of Cognitive Labor, strategically allocating tasks based on comparative strengths; Dialectical Cognitive Enhancement, countering AI sycophancy through productive epistemic tension; Agentic Transparency and Control, ensuring users understand and direct AI influence; Expertise Democratization, breaking down knowledge silos; Social-Emotional Augmentation, addressing affective dimensions of cognitive work; and Duration-Optimized Integration, managing the evolving human-AI relationship over time. Together, these frameworks provide a comprehensive approach for harnessing AI as a genuine cognitive extension while preserving human agency, critical thinking, and intellectual growth, transforming AI from a replacement for human cognition into a catalyst for enhanced thinking.

系统0:将人工智能转化为认知延伸。
本文介绍了“系统0”,这是一个概念框架,用于理解人工智能如何作为直觉(系统1)和审议(系统2)思维过程之前的认知延伸。随着人工智能系统越来越多地塑造人类认知运作所依赖的信息基础,它们从被动的工具转变为主动的认知伙伴。基于扩展思维假说和heermink的认知延伸标准,我们认为人工智能系统满足认知整合的关键条件。这些包括可靠性、信任、透明度、个性化以及增强和改变人类心理功能的能力。然而,人工智能集成产生了一个悖论:在扩展认知能力的同时,它可能同时通过谄媚和偏见放大来限制思维。为了应对这些挑战,我们提出了七个基于证据的有效的人类-人工智能认知整合框架:增强认知脚手架,促进渐进自治;共生认知分工:基于比较优势的任务战略性分配辩证认知增强,通过生产认知张力对抗人工智能的谄媚机构透明度和控制,确保用户了解和指导人工智能的影响;专业知识民主化,打破知识孤岛;社会情绪增强,解决认知工作的情感维度;以及持续时间优化集成,管理随着时间的推移不断发展的人类与人工智能关系。总之,这些框架提供了一种全面的方法,可以在保留人类能动性、批判性思维和智力增长的同时,将人工智能作为真正的认知延伸加以利用,将人工智能从人类认知的替代品转变为增强思维的催化剂。

期刊介绍: Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking is a leading peer-reviewed journal that is recognized for its authoritative research on the social, behavioral, and psychological impacts of contemporary social networking practices. The journal covers a wide range of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, internet gaming, and e-commerce, and examines how these digital environments shape human interaction and societal norms. For over two decades, this journal has been a pioneering voice in the exploration of social networking and virtual reality, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for professionals and academics in the field. It is particularly celebrated for its swift dissemination of findings through rapid communication articles, alongside comprehensive, in-depth studies that delve into the multifaceted effects of interactive technologies on both individual behavior and broader societal trends. The journal's scope encompasses the full spectrum of impacts—highlighting not only the potential benefits but also the challenges that arise as a result of these technologies. By providing a platform for rigorous research and critical discussions, it fosters a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology and human behavior.
