Beyond Productivity: Cognitive Performance in the Age of AI
AI is quickly reshaping the way we think, decide, and work. For founders and professionals in fast-moving environments, the question is shifting: not how to do more, but how to stay sharp amid growing complexity.
On March 26, join us for an honest, science-backed discussion on how constant input and rapid change affect attention, decision-making, and mental capacity — and what it actually takes to perform effectively in the long run.
We'll discuss:
* AI as an external cognitive system - how it shapes attention and overload
* Working memory - what it costs and how it breaks under pressure
* The productivity paradox - why more output can mean less impact
* Burnout in high-intensity environments - subtle, fast, and hard to spot
* Mental architecture - why self-awareness falters when stakes rise
* Using AI as a co-pilot - the limits, distortions, and the smart strategy

Dr. Nataliya Vorobyeva — neuroscientist, PhD researcher in memory mechanisms, co-founder of Hive Bio, Chief Science Officer at VC Pink Elephant
Kristina Marinovic — COO, certified business coach (University of Cambridge), startup advisor with 15+ years in tech entrepreneurship
