Exploring human advancement in AI-augmented environments.

​haveLAB publishes Dr. Russell Fitzpatrick's research and writing on human cognitive advancement in AI-augmented environments. His work draws on neuroscience, adult development, and human–AI interaction to explore how learning, leadership formation, talent systems, and workforce development can shape the evolution of human cognition in an age of intelligent systems.

Why This Work Matters

As intelligent systems increasingly shape how work is organized, decisions are made, and learning occurs, most conversations focus on how humans must adapt. This work begins from a different premise: human cognitive advancement is now a necessity, not a luxury, and intelligent systems themselves can serve as catalysts for that advancement, rather than merely tools for productivity. The focus here is on how the neuroplastic capacity of the human brain can be intentionally engaged beyond what typically occurs through experience alone.

Core Areas of Inquiry

  • Human Cognition and Intentional Neuroplasticity

  • Distributed Cognition and AI-augmented Thinking (the AI Second Brain)

  • Learning as Human Development

  • Leadership Formation as Developmental Environments

  • Talent Systems and Workforce Development Architectures

Writing and Publications

This site features essays, notes, and longer-form writing that reflect ongoing inquiry and synthesis across learning, leadership, and workforce development. These writings contribute to public discourse and invite engagement with questions of human cognitive advancement in an intelligence-rich world.
