If your instinct is to use AI to automate the past, you are locking your work into a finite future. Someone else will collaborate with AI to build what wasn’t possible before. My @SXSW talk - Summary and presentation here 👉 briansolis.substack.com/p/aiq-augmente…

o my. @briansolis was back at #SXSW, and he didn’t come to talk about prompts, he came to talk about us. My friend (and author of the original Social Media Manifesto) walked into Austin after 7 years with a brutal, needed message: AI slop, cognitive Darwinism, AI tax… and why leaders who use AI only to automate the past are locking themselves into a very finite future. His focus isn’t AI euphoria or AI doom, but augmented intelligence: using AI to do what we couldn’t do before, built on empathy, curiosity, creativity, and a brutally honest answer to “what do you stand for?” I unpacked his talk and why it feels like the tuning fork of SXSW Innovation 2026 here: heliade.net/charmageddon-c…

Delivered my first @SXSW keynote in 7 years. It was a proud moment. I promised everyone in the room that I'd upload the deck, and as promised, here you go! "Augmented IQ And The New Human Advantage" ➡️briansolis.com/2026/03/augmen…
