Delegated Cognition

Who remains in command?Artificial intelligence can classify risk, draft legal analysis, summarize evidence, and recommend action. Yet it cannot take an oath, accept a professional duty, or answer for the consequences. Delegated Cognition develops a legal doctrine for that gap: cognitive work may be delegated, but command must be retained.Drawing on aviation's mature safety culture, from cockpit automation and operational control to certification, crew coordination, and incident investigation, Daniel J. Schendzielos translates hard-won lessons of flight into practical governance principles for lawyers, courts, regulators, experts, and institutions using AI.This Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, sharpens the doctrine, updates the treatment of current AI governance, adds implementation tools and an analytical index, and concludes with a new epilogue on the transition from generated answers to delegated work.
