The recent developments in the field of AI are creating very interesting new outcomes.
We have been always focused on how AI will take over, how it will grow into something stand-alone and will take over the World. Maybe that will happen someday, but before that, there are a lot of areas where working together with an AI-integrated system can help humans.
Collaborating usually makes our work better — but keeping a team on task is not easy. Now, researchers are finding that machines can bring out the best in group work.
The ‘wisdom of the crowd’ has been acknowledged as far back as Ancient Greece when Aristotle noted that many unremarkable men often make better collective judgments than great individuals.
The biggest factor affecting how collectively intelligent a group can be is the degree of coordination among its members — Anita Woolley
Anita Woolley has been working on collaborative AI for a lot of years, her work is how to sync up with AI and make the best out of it. In nature the collaborative work always pays, it does not only help to do things and assignments faster but also it helps to protect the community.
According to Wolley,
“We can have some very smart individuals working on different components in isolation, but if we don’t have coordination it’s really hard to make any headway,” says Woolley. “I think it’s going to be critical to helping these different components actually coordinate in the ways needed to address the biggest collective action problems.”
Some of the most interesting projects in the field of AI is writing a story or essay and letting AI finalize it
I asked an AI language generator to try to help me write an essay about my sister’s death, and it was intense — “I’m a ghost, and I’m in a spaceship, and I’m hurtling through the universe” — and now you can read it in the link.
Open AI is contributing to the cause a lot, and the progress that they are achieving is enormous and very fast.
One of my favorites in AI + Human collaboration is Saugwen Chung
Chung’s work explores the mark-made-by-hand and the mark-made-by-machine as an approach to understanding the dynamics of humans and systems. Chung is a former research fellow at MIT’s Media Lab and a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration. In 2019, she was selected as the Woman of the Year in Monaco for achievement in the Arts & Sciences.

“Every child is an artist,” Pablo Picasso once said. “The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
So take out your metaphorical crayons and finger paint.
Your blank canvas is waiting for you, collaborate with AI.
What will you create?
