Our Ideas
We are dedicated to unraveling the profound impact of AI on our society, communities, workplaces, and personal lives. To truly grasp this transformation, our approach is rooted in engaging with core concepts such as critical thinking, logical analysis, and the scrutiny of underlying assumptions, principles that are essential in the realm of philosophical inquiry.


Values & Generative AI
How might a mind for our minds help us with the paradox of knowing what we care about but allowing us to care about something for which it has no knowledge?

Can culture evolve as fast as the technology itself?
How might AI machines affect human culture? And how will we adapt to new forms of cultural inequality?

A Mind for Our Minds
Generative AI changes how we should think about designing machines. How might we design AI to be a mind for our minds?

Making better decisions is one way to get paid more
Making a good decision implies that we have some idea of what’s true. But we do not have infinite data inputs or processing capacity. We are limited by our lifetimes.

Caring machines vs sociopaths
Caring machines may be the only way to scale empathy across our species.

Making better decisions means banishing so-so AI
Now that more machine learning-based AI has been deployed in more places, human skills are being replaced in finer slices with new automation technologies. What has been observed in traditional blue collar work is that not all AI is good enough to increase the value of the output.

AI as a cognitive crutch
How AI could help our reasoning when it's most flawed: aka when we're subject to cognitive biases.

Help me decide v decide for me
Resolving a fundamental incompatibility with AI in human decision-making

There’s no universal human reaction to AI
Most decisions and most deciders are hybrids. Some machine, some human. The trick is to imagine all the ways that humans figure out ways around, over, and through the machine when what they really want is to make the decision themselves even if it means sacrificing accuracy.

AI's strange effects on intuition
Everyone likes to follow their intuition because it’s the ultimate act of trusting oneself.

Workplace spyware when everyone works from home
WFH surveillance is growing but employers need to move on.

Digital surveillance may be inevitable
The math of COVID-19 may mean some level of opt-in tracking is vital to stop repeated outbreaks
