We act in the parts of reality AI can’t predict because they don’t yet exist.
We tried using AI to shape a collective manifesto for the future of AI. My takeaway is that AI doesn’t necessarily make this process easier, although I did see moments that it did.
Cognitive sovereignty is conscious, skillful, reversible navigation through the eight roles, including the possibility of assigning AI a role that fundamentally changes who you are.
The biggest impact of AI will be on our minds, on how we understand intelligence and consciousness and infrastructure, more than on any metrics we're currently tracking.
The AI Adaptation Cube maps, in three dimentions, the roles we put AI in based on the three traits: Cognitive Permeability, Symbolic Plasticity, and Identity Coupling.
AI usage is too complex for any single research approach to capture completely. We summarize and compare three recent studies: Anthropic's Economic Index Report, OpenAI's How People Use ChatGPT, and the Artificiality Institute's Chronicle project.
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.
