While artificial intelligence can produce content and support diagnostics with astonishing accuracy, it struggles to instantly adapt to unfamiliar situations. Neuroscientists at Princeton University in the US have discovered that the human brain relies on an intelligent system for cognitive reuse. This system is based on grouping ready-made cognitive blocks or 'building blocks' to create new behaviors and skills with the least possible effort. This organization gives the brain the capacity for flexible performance, as it reuses its components. It is here that modern scientific research reveals the secret of this feature. In the race for development between human and artificial intelligence, there remains one area where the biological mind has a clear advantage: flexibility and the ability to adapt quickly.
