Cognitive Sovereignty

Cognitive sovereignty refers to the state in which an individual retains final control over their own beliefs, judgments, and decision-making processes; the concept originates from sovereignty theory in political philosophy and has in recent years been borrowed into the field of technology ethics.

Alignment addresses whether the model acts in the way humans want, not whether humans retain the final right to judge the model's actions.

Even when a model is perfectly aligned, if users habitually accept all outputs without scrutiny, then when the model errs or encounters an adversarial attack, the human error-correction channel has already been closed at the cognitive level.

保持对认知主权的清醒——知道什么时候该依赖工具，什么时候该自己上——可能才是这个时代最实用的元能力。
