While we've been fixated on the point technology overwhelms human strength, we've missed the point when technology undermines human weakness. That's the true 'singularity'. youtube.com/watch?v=z8jbZP…

This Friday, @theaidocfilm opens in theaters across the U.S. Our latest episode of Your Undivided Attention tells the story behind it. This film debuted at Sundance this year in the same theater where The Social Dilemma premiered six years earlier, almost to the day. I was in the room. People laughed, gasped, and cried. Not a little, like full-on tears. The team behind this film did something I wasn’t sure could be done, they turned the hyperobject of AI into a shared object. They held space for almost every perspective without losing their clear point of view. And they made it entertaining enough that your neighbor or your parents can watch it and walk out understanding what's at stake. At CHT, we say clarity creates agency. This film helps create that clarity. So listen to our conversation with the team behind the film, then go see it for yourself. Watch - bit.ly/41ndWcm Read - bit.ly/47TKa2H Listen - bit.ly/4by7kfW

I'm incredibly proud to have catalyzed and worked alongside the Academy Award®-winning filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and Navalny on THE AI DOC. There is no other moment than this to catalyze a global movement of awareness to steer the race and incentives bending the development of AI towards catastrophic ends. The game theory of the race only changes when the fear of all of us losing becomes greater than the fear of “me losing to you”. What The Day After was to global nuclear war, THE AI DOC has a chance of being to AI. See The AI Doc in theaters March 27th. youtube.com/watch?v=xkPbV3…

Counting down to Sundance ✨ I’m heading to Park City for the Sundance premiere of The AI Doc. and couldn’t be more excited. Films like this create rare space for honest conversations -and I’m really looking forward to the people, questions, and unexpected connections that tend to happen there. I’ll be around throughout the festival and always happy to connect-at gatherings or over a coffee between screenings. If you’re organizing something or want to connect while we’re in town, don’t hesitate to reach out.

In this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, @tristanharris and I imagine what the world might look like if we had sprung into action and fixed the harms of social media when we first saw them. Check it out.
Center For Humane Technology@HumaneTech_

In our annual Ask Us Anything episode, there was one question that kept coming up: The broken incentives behind social media, and now AI, have done so much damage to our society, but what is the alternative? In this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, @tristanharris and @aza set out to answer this question by imagining what a world with humane technology might look like—one where we recognized the harms of social media early and embarked on a whole of society effort to fix them. This alternative history serves to show that there are narrow pathways to a better future, if we have the imagination and the courage to make them a reality. Link to the full episode in the replies.

I spoke with Camille Carlton, CHT's Policy Director, about the tragic death of Adam Raine, who took his own life after months of manipulation by ChatGPT. We need to shift these incentives & design more humane AI now. Watch- lnkd.in/gS7MwhfZ Listen- bit.ly/47aCABi

What if AI could give us a Rosetta Stone for the natural world - letting us listen to the languages of life around us? If that possibility sparks something in you, help us bring this conversation to #SXSW2026 by tapping the heart on our proposal.
Earth Species Project (ESP)@earthspecies

Over 8 million species share our planet—and until now we’ve only understood one. We've proposed a talk at #SXSW2026 all about how AI is helping us listen to the voices of nature. If you'd like to see us there, click the heart on our proposal to vote💚⬇️ participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sxsw…

We're in the final window before AI becomes fully entangled with our society. I spoke with Sam Hammond, the chief economist of the Foundation for American Innovation to explore how we might still get this right. Watch - lnkd.in/gRDgEacW Listen - bit.ly/4jG7ynj

AI’s potential benefits are incredible. But right now, we’re sleepwalking into a dangerous world that no one wants. In my new TED talk, I argue this doesn’t have to be inevitable. It’s essential we snap out of the trance, face the dangerous implications of our current path, and coordinate toward a new path for AI. Watch: bit.ly/44Aihft
