The Artificiality Imagining Summit 2024 gathered an (oversold!) group of creatives and innovators to imaging a hopeful future with AI. Tickets for our 2025 Summit will be on sale soon!
This week we dive into learning in the intimacy economy as well as the future of personhood with Jamie Boyle. Plus: read about Steve Sloman's upcoming presentation at the Imagining Summit and Helen's Book of the Week.
Explore the shift from the attention economy to the intimacy economy, where AI personalizes learning experiences based on deeper human connections and trust.
A research review of Joined-Up Thinking by Hannah Critchlow.
Our good friend, Hannah, is one of the UK’s top science communicators. Her latest book is a fabulous expose of the latest neuroscience discoveries that support our collective intelligence. It’s a great read and we highly recommend it. It will change the way you think about the groups of which you are a part.
What It’s About: How humans work best collectively - coping with different opinions, biases, and leveraging the diversity of both humans and machines.
Why It Matters: Almost everything we’ve ever done as a species has been collective. Now it’s getting harder, more complex, and more machine-enabled. We need to understand how to bring more diversity, more effectively as we face more complex decisions.
Highlight: A team with more women is more intelligent than any other team. How about that.
Read It If: You want an accessible, comprehensive meta-analysis of the science of collective intelligence, intuition, and analysis written in Hannah’s unique and engaging style.
