Human Collective SuperIntelligence? | Request for Help.

I’ve found an important thread, and am asking for your help to find more.

There’s a fascinating group of scientists and founders who have been working on ways to amplify human abilities, especially in the areas that support cooperation, collaboration and connection.

They use many names for it -- collective intelligence, democracy tech , plurality, bio synchrony -- but it all gets at the same thing.

Expanding Human Intelligence.

Ex: Plurality Institute. Unanoimous AI, CrowdSmart, ACM, Goodly Labs.

Why does it matter?

Where AI outperforms a single human, it does not outperform a human swarm.

A human swarm performs at the SAME level as an AI.

A human swarm OUTPERFORMS AI in any area where a past data set does not exist.

AI can effectively predict the past, but not the future when compared to a human swarm.

What allows humans to swarm more effectively?

My thesis - mental, social, and emotional health.

Basically, what we’ve all been working on for the last decade is what prepares humans to swarm more effectively.

I want to find the people who are working on the science and technologies that support collective human super intelligence.

Your work directly links to their work by improving the underlying mental, social and emotional health of the swarm in a scalable way.

My belief - we must get to collective human superintelligence before machine advanced superintelligence.

By connecting this new technology to ours, a planet scale Collective Human Super Intelligence is possible.

I am looking for a sponsor to fund a map of the entire ecosystem.

How can you help?

If you read about, hear about, know about someone working in this area. Please let me know and introduce me.

If you want to fund that mapping. Let me know.

If you’re curious, help search and send links.

Or tag me on linkedin when you find something interesting.

After a year of scary AI headlines, I'm excited to share an inspiring application.

Imagine understanding and communicating with whales, bees, and farm animals.

That's what The Earth Species Project aims to achieve.

They're using AI and machine learning to decode the communication of different species.

This work, rooted in bioacoustics and behavioral ecology, reveals complex communication systems.

The project's machine learning models advance animal behavior research and conservation efforts, with global public access emphasizing understanding and protection of species.

This AI venture could revolutionize our knowledge of non-human communication.

Understanding animals might foster more humane interactions amongst ourselves.

What if we have barely scratched the surface of human potential?

We need to challenge the assumption that machines will surpass humanity.

Listen to my intervention at the Unlearn Podcast, with Barry O’Reilly.

We discussed how we can use technology to unlock our emotional intelligence, creativity, and cognition.

Rather than a dystopian future of humans versus machines, she proposes a human-centered path to amplify our abilities.

Explore the untapped world of human potential with technology as Nichol Bradford dives deep into transformative growth experiences.

Conflict seeking and conflict avoiding are not the same thing in a spectrum.

You can be a person who doesn't avoid conflict but doesn't seek it either.

In our society, we don't teach people how to have a healthy conflict.

People are afraid of it. They avoid it.

I had the pleasure of being invited to the Unlearn Podcast with Barry O'Reilly. Here is a short clip of our conversation:

This caught my eye after research showing differences in brain activity between on Zoom or live.

Turns out while you may not be able to tell the difference between a “real” or “fake” face…

Your brain can.

Our brains unconsciously recognize the difference between real and synthetic faces, even when we consciously can’t.

This indicates a gap between our conscious perception and the brain’s deeper recognition abilities.

Understanding this unconscious detection is important as synthetic face technology becomes more prevalent.

It also offers insight into our untapped perceptual abilities.

Also, miraculous humans, your biology has the ability to detect fake faces.

What if one solution to deep fakes is just to amplify your current abilities?

How strange is it that becoming your truest self is the most reasonable response to GenAI?

AI Agents will take the 80% off your hands.

And if you allow it, you can carve out a path that is both fulfilling and suited to your innate strengths, leading to the “truest freedom possible”​​

It also means that to stand out in any way, for any reason, you must discover who you really are.

Authenticity will matter more and more.

Our senses will ferret out the difference between a tin-sounding, irritating, high-pitched “personal brand” and the unique you.

Once we know that everything is generated, what will capture your attention, will be imperfectly perfect humans.

One of my favorite books in the world is The Great Work of Your Life.

The book posits that your dharma is to find what you are here to bring forth.

I have read it over and over, in good times and bad. I have read it while “successful” and “triumphant”– and found inspiration.

And I have read it on my knees, crying and lost — and found comfort.

From Dharma to Dan, the Age of AI will require you consider this…

Why are you here?

What does your soul desire to create?

Who are you, you perfectly imperfect human?

You may not know that a face is fake…but your brain does.

Advances in AI image makers make it hard to distinguish between real and synthetic faces.

On top of it, people often see synthetic faces, generated by algorithms, as more trustworthy and average than real faces.

Probably because of the averageness.

However, EEG studies show a different story.

Our brains unconsciously recognize the difference between real and synthetic faces, even when we consciously can’t.

This indicates a gap between our conscious perception and the brain’s deeper recognition abilities.

I’ve said this before — Technology is like water.

Water is fully integrated with life. It is neither bad nor good. Depending on the context, it can be both.

Technology is the same. We’re swimming in it.

The arrival of the GenAI’s will force us to grow in ways we didn’t expect.

We’re going to have to find our Unique Abilities.

Unique Ability involves recognizing talents that are marked by superior skill, passion, energy, and the potential for never-ending improvement​​.

This is what one loves to do and does best, forming the essence of their identity​​.

AI Agents will take the 80% off your hands. And if you allow it, you can carve out a path that is both fulfilling and suited to your innate strengths, leading to the “truest freedom possible”​​

From Dharma to Dan, the Age of AI will require you consider this…Why are you here? What does your soul desire to create? Who are you, you perfectly imperfect human?

It’s more relevant than ever.

We’ve always known that person-to-person chats are special.

Our brains are built to pick up on small details from faces during these talks.

A recent study from Yale shows something interesting:

When we talk face-to-face, our brains are super active in areas tied to social interactions.

But when we chat on Zoom, this brain activity goes down.

While Zoom has been helpful in keeping us connected, it doesn’t fully capture the feel of a face-to-face chat.
