This week we are leaning into multiple metaphors: AI as a mirror, UX design as a window or room, and life as information. Plus: read about Michael Levin's upcoming presentation at the Imagining Summit, Helen's Book of the Week, and our upcoming events.
It’s easy to fall prey to the design illusion that because LLMs look sleek, they must be well-designed. But aesthetics alone do not equal design. As Steve Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works.”
It’s curious that these two papers, tackling such similar ideas, came out at the same time. Is this coincidence, or does it tell us something about where the study of life and intelligence is heading?
The #UnthinkingAIEnthusiast's are on fire these days! Here we provide a skeptic's guide to help you separte the reality from the hype.
An introduction to our new video series: Exploring Complexity
On a surface level, AI might seem like the perfect solution to the challenges of social learning. But is this really true? Is it actually what we want?
A new study suggests that the rise of ChatGPT may be eroding the digital commons. If users turn more and more to ChatGPT and other AI models for answers and assistance, rather than posting their questions and solutions publicly, the digital commons that these models rely on will begin to decline.
In science, traditional human search strategies are like wandering through a wilderness with limited visibility, relying on intuition and serendipity. AI, in contrast, can take in the whole landscape, quickly and effectively exploring the vast range of possible combinations.
New research on developing AI that builds robust world models shows an AI's ability to seek out surprise, motivation, and novelty, enabling it to navigate and understand the complexities of the world through self-driven exploration rather than just following predetermined reward pathways.

Artificiality Co-founders, Helen and Dave Edwards, spoke about Rethinking Value in the Age of AI at the EY Innovation Realized conference at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on April 16 & 17.
AI will force us to broaden our view of intelligence. The real success in AI development will be in discovering forms of intelligence that go beyond anything we've known, transforming how we understand and interact with the world around us.
Recent research demonstrates through empirical evidence that GPT-4 can autonomously develop pricing strategies that edge towards collusion without explicit human direction or inter-firm communication.
On April 9th, we presented our research update on the State of AI & Complex Change which focused on confusion about AI, status of AI adoption and deployments, anxiety about AI, and AI in the Wild.
A guide for organizational transformation for generative AI. By taking these critical steps, organizations can lay the foundation for effective use, setting themselves up for future success in an increasingly AI-driven world.
