Would you like to know where AI can be used? Our new working paper provides a systematic framework for answering this question using detailed data about 13,275 AI software applications, 20.8 million robotic systems, and about 19,000 work activities. See https://t.co/P89BYAD7qc.

The ACM Collective Intelligence conference (CI 2023) will be in Delft, Netherlands, Nov 6 - 9 (https://t.co/znDnttpNuR). 4 days, 9 plenary speakers, 25 papers! Even if you can't attend in-person, you can attend all the paper and panel sessions remotely. (Fees go up after Oct 20)

We're hiring one or more *postdoctoral associates* for a project on how AI can augment (as opposed to replace) humans and how to design collectively intelligent groups, in general. Position can be based at MIT (https://t.co/VFDutiY6WI) or in Singapore (https://t.co/U2Jr5WjyOS).

Here's an article that quotes me about using generative AI to *enhance* rather than *replace* people: https://t.co/OhEJnJNC6Y.

I recently spoke in a panel on "Future of Work in the GenAI Economy" (scroll down here: https://t.co/Zt2TFCKTHS). I suggested a possible new legal framework called "learnright" instead of "copyright"--the right for AI systems to *learn* but not *copy* (see timecode 24:50).

I am delighted to announce the release of "Superminds at Work." In the video, I provide an overview of Superminds and how they can inform management decisions.

The Collective Intelligence 2022 conference has just been announced: https://t.co/WmaXRcUx9F. It will be held virtually on October 21-22, and abstracts are due July 31. A great place to learn about many kinds of collective intelligence and talk about your own CI research!

The TalkingFeds podcast (https://t.co/gTdSlwT4gY) interviewed me about the post-Covid future of work. Here's the audio (free now but will be behind a paywall in a few days): https://t.co/4CaEbyuRA1.

I'm happy to share this interview with me in today's Washington Post: https://t.co/AS2GUlRGza. @supermindsMIT #superminds #futureofwork

Here’s a very nice article by Ganes Kesari about #superminds, based on an interview with me: https://t.co/e00hTTrmjg.

Boston Globe (https://t.co/SQNcxBZaQM) says: "For more than a decade, Thomas Malone...has predicted...neighborhood office buildings...houses...converted to co-working spaces, allowing people...to enjoy...a communal coffee machine without having to battle traffic to get to it."

There's still time to submit 3-page extended abstracts to the Collective Intelligence 2021 conference...

[ACM Collective Intelligence 2021 @acm_ci2021]

3 weeks to submission deadline March 15th for extended abstracts to the ACM Collective Intelligence Conference 2021, hosted by @CBScph on June 29-30. https://t.co/NXjEDg4g2s #CI2021

[Thomas Malone @twmalone]

I'm happy to share our new report on "AI and the Future of Work." We predict a future of work where "... the most promising uses of AI will not involve computers replacing people, but rather, people and computers working together—as 'superminds'."

Today, we use tools like Zoom for scheduled meetings. But what about the impromptu conversations that happen in the hallways and around the office coffee machine? We recently announced Minglr, a tool that supports just this kind of online mingling. See https://t.co/Y6UH6A9LnS
