Newsletter relaunch: Future Possibilities and Humans + AI

Seeing and seizing opportunities in an accelerating world

“Technology should not aim to replace humans, but rather to augment human capabilities”

Doug Englebart (1968)

Newsletter relaunch!

Sorry for the lack of recent updates! I am now relaunching my newsletter. For the next while this will be sent every fortnight. The intention for every issue is to make you glad to receive and read the email. Thank you for signing up!🙏

This issue is mainly an update on my current work and the resources I am sharing. After this I'll settle into a newsletter format designed to consistently inform, provoke, and stimulate you. 😊

Humans + AI Resources

The big shift in my work this year has been to dive deep into "Humans + AI". I have been thinking, writing, and working with clients on this topic for well over a decade. The advent of next-generation AI has made this intensely relevant today.

I have begun to compile and develop a deep set of Humans + AI resources to help people understand and navigate the space. Check them out! This is just the beginning, there will be a lot more coming here.

AI-Powered Productivity course

I think the best way to share and apply my frameworks and thinking on Humans + AI is in a cohort-based course. I will take a group of sophisticated participants through developing their own Humans + AI workflow, specific to their unique situation, with everyone learning from each other as well as the starting points and processes I provide.

The first cohort kicks off next week on March 21. You can find full details here or in the link below. I'd be more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions you have!

Amplifying human cognition

The shift in themes from my recent book Thriving on Overload to the Humans + AI theme may seem abrupt. But to me they are perfect complements.

Thriving on Overload is about amplifying individual cognition, our ability to create value through sense-making, the specific capabilities that make us unique and far superior to machines.

Humans + AI is about complementing our cognition and distinctive capabilities with technology, integrating the best of humans with the extraordinary possibilities of AI.

Together they are about amplifying human cognition to its fullest potential.

This week's good news 🙌

Every newsletter we will share some good news!

For this week let's celebrate the vastly increasing representation of women in parliaments. Of course there is still a long way to go, but progress is definitely in the right direction!

What to expect in upcoming newsletters

The intention is to keep our newsletters short and easy to digest. We'll have some regular features in upcoming editions, such as questions to shape a better future, commentary on major developments, insightful visualizations, as well as resources I am creating and sharing.

Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback.

Have a fabulous day!!! ❤️
