The ACM Collective Intelligence conference (CI 2023) will be in Delft, Netherlands, Nov 6 - 9 (bit.ly/3PN3hSc). 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 (bit.ly/3YTDU5m) or in Singapore (bit.ly/44w2iuS).

Here's an article that quotes me about using generative AI to *enhance* rather than *replace* people: inc.com/sarah-lynch-/2….

Here's a nice article about crowdsourcing for sustainability that quotes me and mentions our Climate CoLab project: informationweek.com/sustainability…

Here's a recent podcast with me talking about "AI and Humans Working Together:" #details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">whathappensnextin6minutes.com/p/ai-and-human….

This recent article in Forbes Daily includes an "Expert Interview" with me (about 3/4 of the way down in the article: forbes.com/sites/danielle….

Seminar on frontiers of collective intelligence research: @richardpmann, @leksy_b, @EugeneVinitsky, @sjmgarnier, @mjwaniek, & @geoffmulgan. An hour of brain expanding content: March 16, 12 ET ucl.zoom.us/j/97640057957. Hosted by Sage/ACM Collective Intelligence journal

I recently spoke in a panel on "Future of Work in the GenAI Economy" (scroll down here: lnkd.in/eBX6yedK). 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. Available on Starling Insights: insights.starlingtrust.com/content/video/…

The Collective Intelligence 2022 conference has just been announced: ci2022.org. 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 (talkingfeds.com) 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): patreon.com/posts/future-o….

I'm happy to share this interview with me in today's Washington Post: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…. @supermindsMIT #superminds #futureofwork

Here’s a very nice article by Ganes Kesari about #superminds, based on an interview with me: forbes.com/sites/ganeskes….

Boston Globe (bit.ly/3t6jhl7) 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...

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 cci.mit.edu/minglr/

In this video, I talk about my book SUPERMINDS at the National Book Festival sponsored by the Library of Congress: lnkd.in/etjpcHs. I think many of the changes I described in that talk will happen even faster now because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
