The Chronicle is an ongoing research initiative documenting how people are adapting to AI—through workshops, interviews, story analysis, and direct observation. Our first release offers an exploratory map of emerging psychological patterns.
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.
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AI's potential is vast but many applications remain incremental, simply grafting AI onto outdated frameworks. This is why we embrace complexity. We think about designing incentives, understanding self-organization and distributed control, and planning for emergence and adaptation.
Enterprises face a critical choice in their generative AI adoption strategy: fine-tuning or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? While fine-tuning has been the go-to approach for early adopters, a new study suggests that RAG may be the more powerful and sustainable path forward.
Apple + Google is possibly the most important corporate frenemy relationship today. How these two companies establish their positions in generative AI is critical to watch. But how they re-position their partnership to include generative AI might be one of the most important events of the year.
By enabling different AI models to 'speak' to each other and combine their strengths, CALM opens up new possibilities for solving complex problems across various domains and tackling tasks with expertise and precision, in a data and compute efficient way.
I agree with the government that antitrust is important. That said, I would hate to see data privacy and security diminished just as we are trying to take advantage of AI’s power to be a personalized digital partner.
Artificiality Co-founders, Helen and Dave Edwards, will be speaking on Generative AI & Data Culture at the Starbucks Innovation Expo on May 14 & 15 in Seattle.
Our April research update for Artificiality Pro will be the State of AI and Complex Change Report: Q2 2024 Update.
In traditional media, the role of technology has been largely to convey, distribute, or modify content created by humans. Generative AI, however, is different from any previous technology because it is creating the messages itself.
By emphasizing critical engagement, transparency, bias mitigation, deliberate decision-making, user autonomy, and continuous education, Microsoft's research offers valuable guidelines for designing AI systems that promote appropriate reliance and user empowerment.
