WISDOM IS YOUR SUPERPOWER
Instead of making AI more human, maybe we should ask what can AI do to help?
There is an open desire to make AI ‘more human’. Recent announcements for the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI shows that the industry and researchers know they need to focus on putting humans at the center of AI development. So
The special power of the outsider to solve problems
Solving problems is hard at the best of times but trying to solve one when you are entrenched in the current thinking is even more difficult. Being on the inside means you are inundated with data about the problem, surrounded
To see the impact of technology on humans, look to artists and storytellers
How do we figure out the long term impact and implications of new technology on humans? With every new technology, there are repercussions down the line that we don’t take into account or can’t imagine at the start. It can
Calculating intent is harder than AI thinks
Working out a person’s intent is hard to calculate. In a given situation, intent is made up of different factors including: the likely outcome based on experience of yourself and others, the mood of yourself or people who are affected,
Socializing without a network
Social networks allow you to socialize once you have a network to begin with but how do we socialize without one? Without a network you need a new reason – a common situation, a shared interest, a workplace meeting or
Ways of seeing new ideas
John Berger’s ‘Ways of Seeing’ is an influential guide on what to look for when viewing art aimed at the art novice. He explained how to appreciate art to an audience who have very little knowledge of the history of
One way to reduce AI bias
One of the biggest challenge in AI is figuring out a way to prevent bias. This is a huge problem to solve as the algorithms being developed and the data feeding the machine are ‘trained’ using data from real humans
Do more thought experiments in the workplace
The goal of a thought experiment is to think through a hypothesis and its potential consequences. Some of the best breakthrough scientific thinking started as a thought experiment that started as a principle and without physically doing an experiment, was
A quantum mind of uncertainty
If all matter operates in a quantum mechanical way at an atomic level, then it follows that the matter from which neurons in our brain are made of work this way too. Neurons deliver and receive messages from our brain
Instead of intelligence, do we sometimes just need simple imitation?
Imitation could be a way to solve particular problems in human computer interaction. AI uses machine or deep learning which is applied for complex problem solving to learn in the same way humans do through trying and learning with feedback
Our senses crave old fashioned objects
Old school crafting is alive and thriving. A revival for dotted bullet journals, high end colored markers, oil painting tutorials is demonstrating there’s no slow down in traditional ways to create. At the same time, more impressive creative digital apps
Mirror neurons and why we love the Hero’s journey
There may be a real science to why the Hero’s journey works. Our relief and happiness as the hero prevails could be because our brain feels it really was the hero. The Heros journey, defined by Joseph Campbell is the
