中文摘要

十年来，AI 的进步一直以「机器能独立做多少事」为衡量标准。然而人依然会遗忘、会忽略未关注之物、会在艰难抉择面前失去历史经验的支撑——因为本应帮忙的机器站在情境之外。随着 AI 进入物理世界，注意力都集中在了具身机器人上；我们认为 Physical AI 时代还存在第二种同等重要的智能个体——被 AI 增强的人。与追问「机器能多聪明」的 AGI 并行，AI 增强的人类智能（AHI）追问的是「机器能为一个具体的人赋能多少智能」。实现它呼唤一种新系统——认知共生体：一个终身、嵌入、实时、私密、低摩擦、主动的伴侣，通过外部设备感知人所感，跨年保持其情境，建模其所处境况与心智，在对的时刻参与其思考，并随双方共同成长。我们给出该范式的概念核心——「认知差距」（一个人面对情境能调动的一切与其工作记忆能容纳之物之间的差距），并把设计空间组织为一个共生循环：感知、保持、理解、共处、代为行动与共思、成长，由个人运行时与信任所包围。由于共生体会改变一个人在他人面前能做的事，它也带来一类新型风险，从考试中的隐蔽辅助到「人人都被迫采用」的压力，我们把治理也纳入范式之内。

原文摘要

For a decade, progress in artificial intelligence has been measured by how much a machine can do on its own. Large foundation models now write code and run multistep tasks, and personal agents act on a person's behalf. Yet people still forget what they once knew, miss what they are not looking at, fail to find the right words, and face hard choices without the benefit of their own history, because the machine that could help stands outside the situation. As AI moves into the physical world, attention has settled on one kind of intelligent individual, the embodied robot; we argue that the era of Physical AI holds a second kind of equal importance, the person augmented by AI. Alongside artificial general intelligence, which asks how intelligent a machine can be, stands AI-augmented human intelligence (AHI), which asks how much intelligence a machine can enable in a particular person. Realizing it calls for a new kind of system, a cognitive symbiont: a lifelong, embedded, real-time, private, low-friction, and proactive companion that senses what the person senses through external devices, keeps their context across years, models their situation and their mind, takes part in their thinking at the right moment, carries out everyday tasks with their context, and keeps learning the person as both change. We give the paradigm a conceptual core, the cognitive gap between what a person could bring to a situation and what they can hold in working memory, and organize its design space as a symbiosis loop of sensing, keeping, understanding, living alongside, acting for and thinking with the person, and growing, enclosed by a personal runtime and by trust. Because a symbiont changes what a person can do in front of others, it also raises risks of a new kind, from covert assistance in examinations to pressure on everyone to adopt it, and we treat their governance as part of the paradigm.
