Title: Designing Intelligent AI: Insights from Human Cognition

Abstract: Modern AI systems are evolving from passive tools toward agent-based systems that can reason, learn and interact with their environments. This talk discusses emerging research directions in generative AI, drawing inspiration from principles of human cognition including continuous learning and adaptation, effective knowledge transfer and multi-objective decision making. The goal is to stimulate new perspectives on building domain-aware and trustworthy AI systems that can operate reliably in complex, real-world settings.
