“…On the other hand, AI is also shaped by the values, goals, and aspirations of human culture. The ethical and societal implications of AI are shaped by cultural practices, i.e., norms and values (Walther, 2021;Shneiderman, 2022;Goffi, 2023). The cultural context of the AI developers and industry, e.g.…”

This paper proposes a framework for comprehending the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as Augmented Cognition (AugCog). AugCog is viewed as an emergent bio-cultural process, reflecting AI's design, implementation, and usage. Section 1 establishes smart societies as a complex system. Section 2 defends that the development of AI is analogous to the biological process of niche construction. Section 3 defines AI as a socioculturally embodied expansion by which AI is shaped by and shapes human experience, resulting in various forms of AugCog. Section 4 highlights AugCog in mixed realities such as social media, neurotechnology, and smart environments, illustrating its emergence from multiscale and interdependent sociocultural perspectives. AugCog's perspective situates the human species in the state space of evolution, signifying our existence as a species and as embodied individuals.

This article lays out the contours of a novel approach to social change and interactions, based on the organic interplay of individuals, institutions, countries and the global society. This approach is based on the POZE paradigm, which posits that change starts inside and is nurtured from the outside in -both for individuals and for durable social change. Such a holistic perspective is crucial to build society as it emerges from the Pandemic. COVID-19 is a reminder that humans around the World are fundamentally all the same; the result of 4 dimensions -soul, heart, mind and body, which find their expression in aspirations, emotions, thoughts and sensations. These 4 dimensions constantly interact and influence each other in ways that reflect the 4-dimensional dynamic that shapes our collective existence. Individuals are the micro dimension that stands at the center of everything else. Forming part of various institutions, from families to parties, individuals are constitutive components of the meso dimension. Individuals and institutions form countries and economies, the macro-dimension. These dimensions in addition to nature and supra-national institutions form the meta-dimension. A constant interplay connects and determines what happens in each dimension and what derives from it. To thrive in the post-pandemic world, we must understand and optimize this interplay. This is the point of departure for the argumentation laid out in this article. The prevailing systemic imbalance in which many lack the means to cover their basic needs can only be addressed by planting the C-Core (completion, compassion, creativity, cooperation) at the center of human interactions. When we bring risks, responsibility and real opportunities together in one coherent framework whilst applying the proposed twice 4-dimensional paradigm-shift a set of concrete recommendations appears. Looking at individuals, and institutions, the article concludes with suggestions to seize this moment and shape not merely a response to the crises, but to lay the ground for a new social contract. In the past the C in C-Suite stood for Chief, the upper part of the leadership ladder in an institution. In the future that C must represent C-Core qualities.
