Fewer than 1/2 of high school seniors have dated. In the 80s? It was 85%. While we debate how AI will reshape society there's a diff crisis unfolding right now. My latest piece explores this & how the connecting us to others is the that which connects us to ourselves. Link in bio

If you’re using AI for answers only you’re doing it wrong. In our latest Anthro AI drop, Tom Maschio flips the script: The beauty of AI is Diagnostic Wayfinding.Ex: medicine. AI should be a "cognitive map" that helps doctors navigate data to find their own path

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

The AI creativity debate misses the point: it's not just steps, it's the emotional core.We need that exhilaration—that feeling when a truly new idea slams into you. That's the human payoff.The real challenge should be will we design tools that respect that emotional experience?

In our latest *Anthro-AI Series* conversation, anthropologist, Tom Maschio, & I explored a key rhythm for working with AI: Fast & Slow.
➡️ FAST for the data
⬅️ SLOW for the deep human insight
AI’s “limitations” aren’t flaws—they’re signals to pause, think, and interpret.

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

Had a totally diff kind of convo w/ @JamesSlezak3 from @swayable at @advertisingweek What really stuck w/ me: AI-driven ad testing doesn’t kill creativity — it protects it, helping great ideas live. Here’s to tech meeting human imagination — & making us better storytellers

Tomorrow!… First Principles Thinking: Grounding AI and Ad Testing In What Actually Matters.
Hope to see you in the room (or hear your thoughts after)! Join us Monday morning on the Tech Stage, October 6 at 11:40 AM. #advertisingweek

Next week at #awny I’m diving into how AI is reshaping the future of creativity & why keeping humanity at the center has never been more essential. I will be hosting the panel, “First Principles Thinking: Grounding AI and Ad Testing In What Actually Matters Join us Oct 6 11:40 am

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

Are your Ai answers too comfortable? As an anthropologist, the true breakthrough insight is in the consensus. It's in the outlier. AI is brilliant at giving us the centrist answer. But if you stop there, you miss the profound interpretations
We need to push beyond the average

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

Excited to team up with @jamesslezak, Founder & CEO of @swayable, at #AdvertisingWeekNY! 🎤✨

We’ll be live on the Tech Stage Monday, Oct 6 at 11:40 AM—diving into AI + human creativity: how tech can amplify (not replace) the magic of human insight.
See you there!

“Never, ever underestimate the power of humor to really connect” — one of the first principles I ever learned in advertising. And I hold this to be true no matter our form of communication! Thank you @strategist_revival for bringing me back to my early days in the biz!

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

In our ongoing #AnthroAI series, anthropologist, Tom Maschio & I explore the possibility that AI might not be an omniscient overlord, but rather a creative ritual. AI can be seen as a liminal space—that powerful in-between where old patterns dissolve & new possibilities emerge.

Still buzzing from the NYFW show by Nabys Vielman ✨🔥 The looks were bold, the crowd was electric, and the whole night was peak New York energy. Loved running into old friends and making new ones — fashion week magic at its best. 🖤

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

@digitalbenji So interesting! Thanks for sharing that information— now if only the bro products would reinforce that!

[Abigail Posner @aposner]

Bro podcasts might just hold the key to understanding modern masculinity. Not b/c of the noise — but because of the search. If you’re a creator or marketer trying to reach guys, this matters. A lot. Get more fromTom Maschio’s & my piece in @thedrummag https://t.co/3dR0sDFkWt
