💡Frameworks: Humans + AI Resources

I believe strongly in the power of visual frameworks to synthesize complexity and assist useful sense-making and effective decisions.

We have compiled over 16 frameworks in the Resources section of the Humans + AI website, with several more to be posted shorly. Let us know your favorites!

Why Human-Agent Systems not autonomous AI

Fully autonomous should not be the objective. Human-agent systems outperform on the most important metrics. An excellent new paper lays out why and specifically how we can implement these systems for better outcomes.

Applying Intelligent Choice Architectures to decision-making

A new report from MIT Sloan Management Review on “Intelligent Choice Architectures” provides a very useful framing of how AI can augment decision-making process.

How boards and directors are usefully applying GenAI

A new Harvard Business Review article based on interviews with a wide range of company directors discovers that relatively few boards and directors are using GenAI, but those who are, are finding value in a multitude of ways.
