Enhancing Expertise, Neosemantic Design, Teaching Kids About AI Bias, and Bacteria to AI
This week we explore the evolving boundaries between human and artificial intelligence across multiple dimensions. We examine how AI multiplies
Experienced professionals can become more valuable with AI using these three critical abilities that turn decades of experience into competitive advantage rather than liability.
The medium isn’t just the message anymore. The medium is now the meaning.
A conversation with Dr. Avriel Epps, author of A Kids Book About AI Bias, computational social scientist, Civic Science Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University's CATLab, and co-founder of AI for Abolition.

Learn the psychological strategy required to co-evolve your expertise with AI.
Writing and Conversations About AI (Not Written by AI)
At the Artificiality Institute, we want to know how to think better with AI. Over the past two and a half years, we've studied how over 1,000 people are adapting to this collision of intelligences. What we found challenges almost everything being said about AI and productivity.
We are not just spectators of the world. We are participants in its unfolding. Consciousness matters because it changes how possibility becomes reality, even if we don’t fully understand how.
Today’s digital consent patterns might make sense if data could be used as a currency, benefiting the owner and creator. But that isn't how the internet actually operates. Perhaps a new, alternative metaphor might make more sense: data as an "impression”.
At Artificiality, we hold a set of core beliefs that guide our values, shape our practice, and anchor our vision.
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?
Generative AI promises personalized learning at scale but risks creating dependency. Complementary cognitive artifacts enhance skills; competitive ones replace them. Effective AI tutors balance engagement and autonomy, expanding human cognition without diminishing critical abilities.
Explore Many-Shot In-Context Learning to enhance AI interactions. Learn five strategies from Google DeepMind's research to optimize your prompts for language models like ChatGPT. Improve your AI prompt engineering skills and maximize AI capabilities.
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.
People are forming psychological relationships with AI systems that feel unprecedented to them. The Chronicle maps the psychological changes happening as people incorporate AI into their thinking, creativity, and daily relationships.
AI is evolving from models to systems to agents—autonomous entities that act, adapt, and collaborate. As intelligence emerges from interactions, the future of AI depends on context, trust, and workflow integration. How we design social AI today will shape its role in amplifying human intelligence.
