Embodied Cognition and Agentic AI
The article discusses the concept of embodied cognition and its implications for artificial intelligence. It argues that intelligence is not just located in the brain but is also influenced by the environment and tools available to individuals. The emergence of agentic AI, which allows AI to interact with tools and learn from experiences, is highlighted as a significant advancement in machine intelligence.

His kitchen is part of his intelligence, of his skills. The same cook working in your kitchen can probably cook better than you do, but he can’t reproduce the same meals he would prepare in his favorite kitchen. We often assess computer programmers using whiteboard tests. It is an endless source of complaints. Programmers rightly point out that it forces them out of their element. They are just not as good when you take away their laptop.
