In science, traditional human search strategies are like wandering through a wilderness with limited visibility, relying on intuition and serendipity. AI, in contrast, can take in the whole landscape, quickly and effectively exploring the vast range of possible combinations.
New research on developing AI that builds robust world models shows an AI's ability to seek out surprise, motivation, and novelty, enabling it to navigate and understand the complexities of the world through self-driven exploration rather than just following predetermined reward pathways.
Context is everything—whom you're with, where you're going, and why. Machines currently lack the ability to understand this context, but generative AI, especially modern large language models, hold the promise of changing this limitation.
An interview with Susannah Fox about her recent book, Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care.
The Artificiality Weekend Briefing: About AI, Not Written by AI
The future of the extended mind is not a fixed destination but an ongoing journey that requires our active participation and reflection as we redefine what it means to be human in an age of artificial intelligence.
Complex change recognizes that change is non-linear, emergent, and deeply interconnected with the system in which it occurs. This is even more important as we adapt to the complexity of generative AI.
AI's potential is vast but many applications remain incremental, simply grafting AI onto outdated frameworks. This is why we embrace complexity. We think about designing incentives, understanding self-organization and distributed control, and planning for emergence and adaptation.
AI will force us to broaden our view of intelligence. The real success in AI development will be in discovering forms of intelligence that go beyond anything we've known, transforming how we understand and interact with the world around us.
Recent research demonstrates through empirical evidence that GPT-4 can autonomously develop pricing strategies that edge towards collusion without explicit human direction or inter-firm communication.
Enterprises face a critical choice in their generative AI adoption strategy: fine-tuning or Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? While fine-tuning has been the go-to approach for early adopters, a new study suggests that RAG may be the more powerful and sustainable path forward.
By enabling different AI models to 'speak' to each other and combine their strengths, CALM opens up new possibilities for solving complex problems across various domains and tackling tasks with expertise and precision, in a data and compute efficient way.
On April 9th, we presented our research update on the State of AI & Complex Change which focused on confusion about AI, status of AI adoption and deployments, anxiety about AI, and AI in the Wild.

Defined as “the degree to which a system can adaptably achieve complex goals in complex environments with limited direct supervision", agentic AI promises to transform how we make decisions.
A guide for organizational transformation for generative AI. By taking these critical steps, organizations can lay the foundation for effective use, setting themselves up for future success in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Modularize tasks with generative AI to make them more achievable.
IBM's principles for generative AI applications underscore the necessity of a thoughtful, user-centered approach to designing GenAI applications.
