The Future Architecture of Attention

AI is powerful, but it still lacks the flexible, common-sense reasoning of the human brain. To design more intelligent systems—and better understand ourselves—we need to look to biology.


Neuroscientist Grace Lindsay suggests the next leap won’t come from more data, but from smarter attention. That means systems—and humans—that:


- Coordinate vision, sound, and other inputs in real time

- Stay open to the unexpected, not just hyper-focused

- Use curiosity to drive learning and exploration

- Guide what’s remembered by filtering what matters


The future of intelligence lies not just in machines—but in how humans learn, adapt, and pay attention.
