The Largest Behavioral Experiment in Human History 

For decades, psychologists have relied on surveys, interviews, and laboratory studies to understand how people think and solve problems. Today, billions of people voluntarily externalize their thinking to AI systems every day, creating an unprecedented new source of behavioral data. 

In this keynote, Kieran Snyder explores what human-AI interaction reveals about cognition, expertise, and work. Drawing on her background as an NLP researcher, AI entrepreneur, and leader of AI transformation initiatives, Snyder examines emerging patterns in how people use AI, including differences between expert and novice thinking, common cognitive shortcuts, and the ways people adapt when cognitive labor can be delegated to machines.
