Epistemology in the Age of AI: Rethinking Knowledge, Polymathy, and Human Cognition

 Everyone's debating whether AI will replace human experts.  My new white paper presents an epistemological framework showing what AI fundamentally cannot access—regardless of how sophisticated it becomes. These aren't engineering challenges. They're structural features of what makes human cognition irreplaceable.

Here's the paradox: AI cannot be polymathic, but it's the most powerful tool for human cognitive evolution since writing. Through what I call "gain-of-function" augmentation, AI enables us to learn faster, operate across more domains, and integrate knowledge at unprecedented scale—without replacing the judgment, intuition, and meaning-making that define human intelligence.

The future isn't creating artificial polymaths. It's augmenting humans. Full paper can be found at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6182658
