💡Framework: AI Governance for Transformation

My mantra of "Governance for Transformation" emphasizes that governance is essential but must enable—not slow—organizational change. This framework covers both core compliance issues but also actively focuses on guiding AI deployment to maximize value. I have found it valuable in board and executive sessions in balancing and integrating governance rigor with AI’s positive potential.

Human-Computer Interaction for Artificial General Intelligence

Many AI leaders suggest Artificial General Intelligence could arrive within years. It is a high priority to consider design for Human Computer Interaction (specifically Human-AGI Interaction (HAGII, perhaps? 😀)).

Meredith Morris, Principal Scientist for Human-AI Research at Google DeepMind, has just published a very interesting paper on the macro issues.

Summary of key insights

Chain-of-Draft learns from and informs human cognitive processes

After Chain-of-Thought and its successors comes Chain-of-Draft. This is inspired by human cognitive processes, which typically use very concise concepts as thinking steps. The result is efficiency improvements of up to 13x and latency reduction of 76& while maintaining quality similar to Chain-of-Thought.

Japan is the Petri dish for the rise of service robots

Japan is the Petri dish for widespread introduction of service robots. Shrinking population, limited immigration, ultra-low unemployment, and cultural openness to robots are leading to a massive rise in service robots.

Why you should listen

Collective intelligence is arguably at the center of the future of humanity. These four guests are each global leaders in the space. The excerpts from their appearances on the Amplifying Cognition podcast together provide a valuable framing of the potential and how to get there.
