Evidence → Cognition → Discernment™️ - Your Pathway to AI Leadership

XperientialAI — Pathway to AI Leadership explores how people can collaborate with AI without outsourcing judgment. The spine is a three-step method: Evidence → Cognition → Discernment — a bridge from what’s scattered to what’s chosen. Through essays, reflections, and practical examples, I show how the Context & Critique Rule™ keeps thinking visible, decisions explainable, and responsibility human.

2026/01/23

Greg Twemlow argues that we are entering a Third Regime of Human Cognition where artificial intelligence replaces traditional software applications as the primary interface for computation. Historically, users had to contort their thinking to fit the rigid workflows of software, but this new era allows human intent to drive the system directly. As AI functions as an operating system, applications evolve into temporary, modular tools rather than fixed destinations. This shift moves the burden of

2026/01/17

In an era where artificial intelligence makes execution cheap and abundant, human value is relocating to higher levels of the abstraction stack. This transition marks a fundamental repricing of cognition, where the ability to produce work is less valuable than the judgment and intent required to direct it. As traditional learning through repetition collapses, the text introduces the Discerner Architect as a vital role for overseeing the ethical and strategic consequences of automated outputs. True
