DESCRIPTION:Humans and AI systems are usually portrayed as separate system
 s that we need to align in values and goals. However\, there\nis a great d
 eal of AI technology found in non-autonomous\nsystems that are used as cog
 nitive tools by humans. Under\nthe extended mind thesis\, the functional c
 ontributions of these\ntools become as essential to our cognition as our b
 rains. But\nAI can take cognitive extension towards totally new capabiliti
 es\, posing new philosophical\, ethical and technical challenges. To analy
 se these challenges better\, we define and\nplace AI extenders in a contin
 uum between fully-externalized\nsystems\, loosely coupled with humans\, an
 d fully-internalized\nprocesses\, with operations ultimately performed by 
 the brain\,\nmaking the tool redundant. We dissect the landscape of cognit
 ive capabilities that can foreseeably be extended by AI and\nexamine their
  ethical implications. We suggest that cognitive\nextenders using AI be tr
 eated as distinct from other cognitive\nenhancers by all relevant stakehol
 ders\, including developers\,\npolicy makers\, and human users.\n\nDraft p
