About Me
Hello, I'm Wensupu "Wen" Yang, an AI consultant, freelance developer, futurist, and writer with a passion for exploring the intersection of technology, cognition, and future studies.
My work spans multiple disciplines, bringing together insights from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and strategic foresight to understand how emerging technologies can augment human capabilities.
Background
With a background spanning technology, cognitive science, and future studies, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to understanding how emerging technologies can augment human capabilities.
As a consultant and developer, I've worked with organizations ranging from startups to enterprises, helping them navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and knowledge technologies.
Philosophy
I believe that the most powerful technologies are those that enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. My work is guided by the principle that AI should serve as an extension of human intelligence, enabling us to think better, learn faster, and create more meaningfully.
As a lifelong learner, I maintain a Commonplace Book where I collect ideas, insights, and connections across disciplines. This practice of knowledge synthesis informs both my writing and my technical work.
Current Focus
Currently, I'm focused on developing tools that bridge the gap between AI capabilities and human knowledge workflows. This includes research on:
- Augmented thinking and extended cognition
- Knowledge representation and retrieval systems
- Human-AI collaborative interfaces
- Future of work and learning in an AI-enabled world
