The Cognitive Architecture of AI: Decoding Bias & The Second Digital Divide
Take a single scrambled paragraph and feed it into four different AI systems. You won't get a consensus. You will get four wildly different responses. In his opening keynote at the 2026 International Linguistics Association conference, Professor Adam Scott Wandt maps the cognitive architecture of AI. He demonstrates how language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini process language distinctly differently, proving that AI is not a single, objective entity, but rather a collection of highly opinionated engines. Professor Wandt explores the systemic hazards of inherited algorithmic bias in foundational training data, and warns of the "second digital divide" currently fracturing classrooms and workplaces. Explore the full lecture to understand why human expertise and precise prompt engineering are the irreplaceable forces needed to direct our technological future. https://reWandt.com #reWandt #AIEthics #AlgorithmBias
