Artificiality Summit Reflections
The second Artificiality Summit is complete. Twice the time, twice the people, twice the brain expansion. We are incredibly grateful
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.
Culture now shapes evolution through design. The intimacy surface is where life adapts next.
Exploring how mind emerges from coherence and how AI might extend where a mind can be.
The adjacent possible of human + AI is larger than either alone. The question now is what contexts we choose to enable.
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.
