Just Thinking... About How NeuraPoints Is Building the Bridge Between Minds and Machines
Artificial intelligence has reached a crucial inflection point. Once imagined as a fast track to artificial general intelligence, the field has instead hit a plateau—prompting leaders, educators, and innovators to rethink AI’s true purpose. As companies and schools race to adopt automation, questions about cost, ethics, and human purpose are rising to the forefront. According to a 2024 Deloitte report, over 40% of organizations admit they’re still struggling to define and measure the real impact of their generative AI initiatives.
So, how can organizations and individuals make AI work with human intelligence, rather than in place of it? What would it look like to approach AI as a cognitive partner instead of a replacement?
In this episode of Just Thinking, host Kevin Dougherty speaks with Jared McClure, CEO and Founder of NeuraPoints, about reimagining AI as a tool for human augmentation, not substitution. Together, they explore how AI can enhance thinking, creativity, and organizational effectiveness when grounded in cognitive frameworks rather than machine mimicry.
Top insights from the talk…
- Human Intelligence as the Driver of AI: McClure argues that AI’s evolution depends on human cognition, noting that “AI is a master pattern finder, but it can’t generate new meaning without us.”
- Cognitive Frameworks Bridge the Gap: Through NeuraPoints’ system—built on Dr. David Hyerle’s research—users can visualize and code their thinking in digital space, offering a new nonlinear approach to thought representation.
- From Fear to Partnership: Instead of fearing obsolescence, McClure says leaders should see AI as “a suit of armor” that amplifies human potential, ushering in a symbiotic future where technology augments our ability to think and create.
Jared McClure is a seasoned executive and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience leading technology and AI-driven companies. As CEO and Founder of NeuraPoints and Pria.ai, he specializes in applying cognitive science and machine learning to drive innovation, efficiency, and business growth. Known for building high-performing teams and delivering strategic, data-informed solutions, McClure’s career centers on bridging human intelligence with technology to revolutionize education and enterprise productivity.
