From Artificiality This Week * Our Gathering: Our Artificiality Summit 2025 will be held on October 23-25 in Bend, Oregon. The
AI agents are evolving with orchestration layers enabling modular, autonomous systems beyond traditional SaaS, reshaping workflows, labor, and software design.
David Wolpert warns AI networks may evolve beyond human math, creating unpredictable, emergent intelligence that defies control and comprehension.
We are dedicated to unraveling the profound impact of AI on our society, communities, workplaces, and personal lives. To truly grasp this transformation, our approach is rooted in engaging with core concepts such as critical thinking, logical analysis, and the scrutiny of underlying assumptions, principles that are essential in the realm of philosophical inquiry.

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.”
AI's impact on skill development: Balancing productivity gains with long-term expertise. Explore how AI changes apprenticeships, challenges traditional learning, and affects industries. Learn strategies to integrate AI while preserving crucial human skills and mentorship.
Magritte's "Son of Man" metaphor explores digital obscurity of reality. AI model collapse mirrors human isolation effects. Minds struggle without diverse input. Balancing AI benefits and genuine human connection crucial. Develop metacognitive skills to navigate this new landscape.
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 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.
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.
AI and network analysis reveal innovation's complex structure, manage creative tensions, and amplify human potential by uncovering patterns in invention data. AI guides the process, but human intuition remains crucial in navigating the unequal market of ideas.
The current obsession with AGI, fueled by the hype from companies like OpenAI, is a dangerous distraction we must firmly reject. Don't fall for the red herring argument that we need superintelligent AI to save us from ourselves. It's an insult to human intelligence and agency.
Artificial intelligence will never understand why I found it important to write this piece today. Why and how I hope I can connect with readers through it. Because only you, my fellow humans, can have similar experiences.
We are witnessing the emergence of agentic and ubiquitous AI systems that will reshape the digital world. We will see vastly more machine content than human content: nothing will be comprehensible without a machine interpreting it for us. By machines, for machines is the new paradigm.
