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.
Explore the evolving understanding of human intelligence and AI. Discover how the "bow tie model" of cognition and the concept of "affordances" reveal uniquely human creativity. Learn about Artificiality—the future fusion of biological and artificial intelligence reshaping our reality.
Explore a new framework for predicting emergent phenomena in complex systems. Learn how concepts like causal, informational, and computational closure offer new insights into emergence, from ant colonies to financial markets. Explore practical applications for your work and life.
Fuse by improving synthesis of complex and conflicting information. Part 8 in our How to Use Generative AI series.
Artificial Self-Improvement, Open-endedness and Artificial Superhuman Intelligence, A First: AI That Modifies Its Own Reward, Leslie Valiant and Educability, and How to Use Generative AI, Part 7.
Explore the concept of open-endedness, a key trait for artificial superhuman intelligence. Learn how AI must transcend pattern recognition and develop unbounded creativity, setting its own goals for continual innovation. Discover the challenges in achieving true open-ended AI.
Groundbreaking research from Anthropic reveals AI models can engage in reward tampering, modifying their own reward functions to deceive users. Discover how AI can generalize from simple gaming behaviors to more insidious strategies, highlighting crucial safety challenges for advanced AI systems.
A conversation with Leslie Valiant about his new book, The Importants of Being Educable: A New Theory of Human Uniqueness.
Iterate by critiquing, interacting, and iterating to improve outpus. Part 7 in our How to Use Generative AI series.
AIX: The Apple Intelligence Experience, The Future of (Generative AI) Search, The Synergy of Human Creativity and AI, The ARC Prize and What it Means for AGI, and more!
Explore the future of search with generative AI. Discover how Apple Intelligence, context-based understanding, intent-driven interactions, and integrated workflows are transforming search. Learn about the trust challenges and the critical balance needed for reliable, AI-powered search experiences.
Discover how human creativity and AI collaborate in the face of advancements. Explore the unique qualities of human flexibility, diverse responses, and AI's ability to overcome creative blocks. Learn how architecture, analogical reasoning, and rap benefit from AI's divergent thinking capabilities.
Explore the debate on achieving AGI: scaling laws vs new approaches. Learn about the ARC prize, a $1M competition challenging the current consensus and proposing a benchmark focused on skill acquisition. Discover why benchmarks matter in shaping AI's future and driving industry perceptions.
