Explore how synthetic systems merge with organic experience in The Artificiality. Follow the journey from information to consciousness, where AI evolves from passive tools to active participants, reshaping reality, redefining intelligence, and challenging the boundaries of human experience.
No matter how else you think about 2025, we think you should look forward to a few things from Artificiality:
The Artificiality Summit. Yes, we'll be back in 2025 with our second annual Summit on October 23-25 in Bend, Oregon. We're moving to a new venue and adding a second, full day of programming. We've announced 12 speakers already and have several more in the works. Please check out all the details here and send us a message if you're interested in joining us. Note: our early bird price is good through the end of January—the price goes up after that so sign up soon!
The Futures Program. Following a year+ of piloting our futures research program, we are excited to roll it out for new clients. Through the Artificiality Futures Program we deliver expert analysis and strategic foresight, helping organizations navigate the AI transition through rigorous research, personal engagement, and ongoing dialogue. Structured as an annual subscription, we serve as extended members of your team, servicing as many people in your org as you'd like. Send us a message to learn more—and note that, given the depth of engagement we maintain with each client, availability for new partnerships in 2025 is limited.
The Chronicle. We are launching a new ethnographic study to bear witness to the human experience into the Artificiality. Through this initiative, we aim to create a definitive record of how humans experience and adapt to this unprecedented shift. We're not measuring productivity gains or tracking adoption rates. Instead, we're documenting the intimate reality of living through this change—the small daily discoveries, the moments of crisis and breakthrough, the evolution of human identity and purpose. Our aim is to use these collected stories to advocate for a better future with AI—the future you want. Please send us a message if you're interested in joining this important project. Note: we are also developing a program for designers, innovators, and product leaders to join us as part of the research leadership to directly participate in—and benefit from—this learning journey with us.
In addition to the above, we'll be adding video to our pod production and we'll be writing longer, deeper pieces focused on the Artificiality and its consequences for the human experience. If you haven't, please subscribe to get all our work and reach out any time—we'd love to hear from you.
