What Is Memory?: A New Philosophy of Memory for the Age of AI: Brain Health, Healing, Happiness, and Healthy Longevity to 150 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798172064739)

What Is Memory? presents memory not simply as the ability to store and recall information, but as one of the fundamental human capacities that shapes identity, learning, experience, relationships, judgment, and the direction of life.
Why do we remember?
How are memories formed, changed, and forgotten in the brain?
How do learning and experience shape memory?
What will human memory mean in the Age of AI?
And how can people protect memory and cognitive ability as humanity moves toward an era of longer healthy lives?
Beginning with these questions, this book explores the nature of memory in clear and accessible language while examining its relationship with the human brain, learning, experience, emotion, artificial intelligence, and healthy longevity.
Memory is more than storage. Through memory, human beings understand the past, interpret the present, and prepare for the future. What we remember-and what we forget-helps shape our identity, decisions, relationships, and understanding of the world.
Artificial intelligence can store and retrieve far more information than any individual human being. Yet human memory cannot be measured by information capacity alone. Human memories are connected with experience, emotion, meaning, judgment, and identity.
This book brings together the brain, learning, experience, forgetting, emotion, creativity, artificial intelligence, cognitive health, and healthy longevity within a new philosophy of memory.
Through the vision of THE RUN AT 150 PROJECT, it asks how human beings might not only live longer, but also continue remembering, learning, thinking, creating, and making independent choices throughout a longer and healthier life.
More than a guide to improving memory, What Is Memory? is a forward-looking philosophy of memory for living wisely in the Age of AI.
