I’ve labored within the fields of human efficiency enchancment, social studying, collaboration, and sensemaking for a number of a long time. At present in all of those fields the dominant dialogue is about utilizing and integrating generative synthetic intelligence [AKA machine learning] utilizing massive language fashions. I’m not seeing many discussions about enhancing particular person human intelligence or our collective intelligence. My private information mastery workshops deal with these and go away AI as a aspect difficulty after we focus on instruments close to the tip of every workshop. There is sufficient to cope with in enhancing how we search, make sense of, and share our information.
The workshops start by wanting on the nature of human networks and communities and the important function of curiosity. Later we have a look at the affect of media and the way misinformation and disinformation will be understood and countered. Intentionality when utilizing social media is essential. The general goal of the workshops is to assist individuals grow to be higher information catalysts.
Final yr in rebuilding belief I requested how can we rebuild belief in experience in a world stuffed with conspiracy theories and mistrust of establishments? We don’t appear to have made a lot progress prior to now and will have truly gone in the other way. That’s the reason I hold focusing these workshops on sharing information in trusted communities and open networks. Every of us has to learn how we are able to grow to be information catalysts in a liquid media world, serving to to make our networks smarter, extra resilient, and in a position to make higher choices. We will rebuild belief one catalyst at a time.
