Philip Morris International Opens Dialogue on the Future of Human Cognition as a Defining Frontier in the Age of AI<\/b><\/p>\n

The paper calls for global debate to ensure AI enhances\u2014rather than diminishes\u2014uniquely human strengths in an increasingly automated world<\/i><\/p>\n

STAMFORD, CT–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nPhilip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today released a new white paper, \u201cHuman Cognition: The Next Frontier?\u201d<\/a>, inviting leaders across business, policy, and academia to join a global conversation on the evolving role of human cognition as artificial intelligence transforms work, society, and the economy.<\/p>\n

\nThe white paper explores how human capabilities such as – critical thinking, creativity and adaptability – are poised to become the \u201csuperskill<\/i>\u201d of the future, driving progress in an era of human-machine collaboration. As AI automates routine tasks and augments knowledge work, PMI argues that nurturing and protecting cognitive capacity will be essential for organizations seeking to remain resilient and relevant. Where once technology often automated labor-intensive jobs in the quest to improve productivity, now, as intelligent systems take on more cognitive work, organizations must rethink how they develop and protect the human mind itself.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIn our strategic shift toward a smoke-free future, we learned that technology helps us move faster – but real progress depends on people. Change isn\u2019t just about scientific and technological advances; it\u2019s about vision, ambition, and how people apply innovations. A decade ago, we were a cigarette company, and now our smoke-free products are available in 100 markets and account for 41% of our net revenuesi<\/sup>,<\/i>\u201d said Moira Gilchrist, Chief Global Communications Officer, PMI. \u201cThat journey was powered by curiosity, creativity, and the courage to challenge assumptions. If we treat cognition like the scarce resource that it is and use AI to enhance \u2013 not replace \u2013 human strengths, organizations will make better decisions, and society will be more resilient in the AI era<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe white paper highlights the need to protect human cognition in the era of AI, outlining a set of accelerating cognitive risks that will shape whether society benefits from AI or becomes overwhelmed by it:<\/p>\n
