As seen online:

“Intelligence, whether artificial or human, cannot be fully understood without recognizing its cultural foundations and adaptive contexts. This Perspective introduces two key contributions. First, it defines the Cultural Cognition Gap, the disconnect between AI’s static, pattern-based reasoning and the dynamic, culturally adaptive nature of human cognition, evident in real-world deployment failures. Second, it proposes Culture Driven AI, a conceptual and normative framework advocating for AI systems designed to engage with cultural plurality and fluidity as central features of intelligent behavior”

Rural depopulation and the rural-urban gap in cognitive functioning among older adults - PMC

As seen online:

“Older adults living in rural counties had lower cognitive functioning than urban adults. The interaction between living in a rural and depopulated county was statistically significant (P < .001). The rural penalty in cognitive functioning was 40% larger for those who lived in counties that lost population between 1980 and 2010 compared to those who lived in stable or growing rural counties. These results were independent of race-ethnicity, gender, age, education, income, region, employment status, marital status, physical health, and depression as well as the county’s racial-ethnic composition, age structure, economic and educational disadvantage, and health care shortages.”

“However, educational alignment with workforce gaps is only a short-term fix. These gaps will always persist because the fast-paced shifts in technology cannot be predicted far enough in advance to reskill workers. Just-in-time education will only get us to the next gap. Instead, we should be focusing our efforts on closing the cognition gap whereby youth and adult learners alike shift their mindset to constant learning, comfort with change, and adaptability to new environments.”
