Looking forward to this - hope you can join us!

[Stanford HAI @StanfordHAI]

In his new book, HAI Center Fellow @alex_pentland suggests the best way to build a flourishing society is by using what we know about human nature to design our technology. Join @DigEconLab on Dec. 2 for a conversation with Pentland and @CadeMetz. https://t.co/RMtDSJxb92

Thanks also to @pro_jectliberty and sponsors of the @Stanford Digital Economy Lab and @MIT Connection Science for their financial support and enthusiastic help in developing the ideas in this book. W/o their support, much of the research reported here would've been impossible.

Many thanks to the many people and teams who have supported the writing and publishing of this book. Notably, Tracy Heibeck, my network of collaborators, my team of students, and all the people who've invited me in to high-level policy discussions, and research seminars.

How can we build a flourishing society by using what we know about human nature to design our technology—rather than let technology shape our society? I look forward to sharing more in the coming months and hearing what you think.

[Alex Pentland @alex_pentland]

How do we come together to determine our direction for collective action/movement and, importantly, what tools we'll use to get there? In the book I look at how we can use technologies (like digital media and AI) to aid, rather than replace, our human capacity for deliberation.

Here's a recent chat I had with @DavidWestin on @business's Wall Street Week re: what the future of AI means for investors looking to make smart decisions on where to put their money. tl;dr - best bet is on places with a clear business case. https://t.co/CeICCWrk1u

[Alex Pentland @alex_pentland]

What if AI was designed more to complement human intelligence and decision making - that relies heavily on human connection and "social foraging" - instead of trying to replace it? This would make AI more useful and beneficial in almost every sphere.
