Background: Recent artificial intelligence (AI) breakthroughs provide opportunities to extend human-like cognition. In this study, we explore the benefits of incorporating AI and brain-computer interfaces to improve human cognition in real-time. Objective: The article aims to gauge how much better AI-driven neural interfaces can make a vast array of brain function cognitive abilities, memory recall problem-solving, and creativity. Methodology: The study consisted of neural linkages implanted in a group of 200 participants from three different creative fields: art, music, and scientific investigation. As subjects conducted cognitive tasks while engaging with AI systems, researchers captured both quantitative and qualitative data. We used statistical analysis (t-tests, ANOVA) to assess the impact of AI on cognitive performance in addition to a thematic analysis platform assessing user experiences. Results: The results showed striking increases in cognitive performance as a result of using AI. Memory went up by 23%, creativity rose by 26%, whilst problem-solving capacity — at 24%. Statistical analyses verified these findings, quantified by large effect sizes on all tasks. Participants expressed having positive experiences as well, showing an improved collaboration with AI systems. Conclusion: The article highlights important implications for how Human-AI Symbiosis can be used to dramatically extend cognitive capability in creative and professional domains. The results suggest AI may have the power to alter human cognition for the better, making ethical considerations over its use all the more pressing.
