About
Luca Tummolini is a leading cognitive scientist whose research bridges the frontiers of language, social cognition, and artificial intelligence. His work explores how language functions both as a cognitive scaffold for individual thought and as a social tool for coordination, with a particular focus on the implications of large language models (LLMs) for human cognition. In his highly influential 2024 paper, "Language as a cognitive and social tool at the time of large language models," Tummolini synthesizes decades of research to argue that LLMs are not merely computational artifacts but transformative agents reshaping how we understand language, reasoning, and collective intelligence. Though recently published, this work has already garnered 4 citations, signaling its rapid impact on interdisciplinary debates. Tummolini’s broader contributions include foundational studies on joint action, common ground, and the evolution of linguistic conventions, which have shaped fields from psycholinguistics to human-computer interaction. His notable achievements include leading collaborative projects on social cognition and serving as a key figure in the European research network on language and cognition. For students and researchers, Tummolini’s work offers a compelling lens through which to examine the co-evolution of human minds and artificial systems.
