New research from Brown University reveals something remarkable: humans and AI share strikingly similar learning strategies. Both use flexible in-context learning alongside gradual incremental learning, with AI developing these capabilities only after extensive meta-learning across thousands of tasks.
The study shows we both navigate trade-offs between flexibility and retention, with harder challenges strengthening long-term memory while easier tasks boost adaptability.
This isn't just academic curiosity, it's a roadmap for building AI systems that work intuitively with humans.
As researchers note, truly helpful AI requires understanding how human and inorganic minds both converge and diverge.
We're not building replacements, we're building complements.
