RESEARCH
Taking cognition as enactively situated, Dr. Hipólito investigates the spectrum of cognition, from basic neurobiological processes to semantically sophisticated activities.
Dr. Hipólito's work specifically focuses on understanding how AI shapes and is shaped by human sociocultural cognitive activities.
By applying complex systems theory and active inference modelling tools, her contributions aim to shed light on the intricate interplay between human cognition and the ever-evolving landscape of AI development.
Specifically how artificial intelligence-permeated environments shape and are shaped by human cultural practices and how they, in turn, affect cognitive development, mental health, and wellbeing.
