The Eidos Institute

Eidos is a place for disparate voices. Our most recent seminar, Shaping Australia's Policy Direction, was no exception. It was great to see our speakers, public sector leaders, and academics connecting around an important discussion. Looking forward to translating ideas into action.

AI augmentation in the enterprise space is evolving rapidly, and at the core of this shift is how businesses are leveraging proxies to enhance productivity and decision-making. Unlike traditional AI agents, proxies are trained to reflect the unique preferences, workflows, and objectives of the individuals they represent, creating a powerful moat that ensures seamless integration into daily operations. With this innovation, we’re witnessing a significant transformation in how leaders delegate tasks and manage meetings, allowing them to focus on strategic priorities while their proxies handle the rest. This evolution is redefining enterprise workflows, providing a glimpse into a future where human and digital collaboration is not only efficient but personalised. The growing adoption of enterprise augmentation solutions is gaining momentum, with AI agents stepping in to support routine tasks and decision-making. With over 30% of organisations already trialing AI agents and another 40% planning to implement them in the next year, it’s clear this technology is reshaping the future of work. As businesses move beyond traditional automation, proxies offer a competitive advantage by taking augmentation to the next level – twinning the organisation and their staff to reflect unique human preferences and workflows, ensuring a seamless, personalised augmentation to productivity. There’s a clear intersection emerging as human expertise begins to merge with the precision and efficiency of AI. Ben Johnston and I recently talked to Alexandra Cain from The Australian Financial Review about these exciting changes and what they mean for leaders. Our conversation explored how proxies are attracting attention from executives looking for bespoke solutions to optimise their operations. We discussed how proxies offer a distinct strength by blending human insight with intelligent delegation, ensuring operations continue without sacrificing the personal touch. The interview was published in the AFR and highlights some of the strategies and areas of focus for Mindhive and System Operating as we continue to innovate in this space.

🔄 Proud to Lead the Conversation on Gender Equality Through AI 🔄 This week, Eidos Institute is excited to lead Mindhive Earth's Week 10 discussion on a topic close to our mission: "Using AI to Identify and Address Gender Biases in Various Sectors." As we strive to bridge the gap between research and policy, this conversation is a pivotal step in exploring how AI can be a powerful tool in promoting SDG 5: Gender Equality. Together, we can drive meaningful change by addressing biases that affect millions across different industries. We invite our community to join the discussion, share insights, and explore how we can collectively contribute to a fairer and more equitable future. 💡 Join the discussion and let's push the boundaries of what's possible with AI in achieving gender equality: https://lnkd.in/gZ7XpvwB #EidosInstitute #MindhiveEarth #GenderEquality #AI #SDG5 #PolicyAndResearch #InclusiveTech

🚀 AI and the Future of Public Service Collaboration 🚀 At Eidos Institute, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation, and Bruce Muirhead's recent exploration into the role of AI and multi-agent systems during Australia’s 2024 Innovation Month exemplifies this. His post highlights how 123,000 public servants leveraged Mindhive to explore the transformative potential of AI in public service, resulting in groundbreaking insights. This experiment demonstrates how advanced AI systems, with 30+ agents, are setting new benchmarks in collaboration and public sector efficiency. For those passionate about the intersection of AI and public service, this post is an essential read. 👉 Dive into the full insights here: https://lnkd.in/gtB-P8fB #AI #Innovation #PublicService #EidosInstitute #Collaboration #Mindhive #Technology #MultiAgentSystems

WE ARE ALIVE! MindHive, an Australian startup that has been disrupting team, organisational and community consultations, is running an online event in which you can engage with both people and AI specialist avatarS to facilitate discussions, effective teamwork and decision-making. A recent designated addition is a new platform MINDHIVE EARTH, which is "...set to address global challenges by forging powerful alliances with global enterprises, intergovernmental organisations and think tanks." I am hugely excited to be part of these MindHive dot AI online discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals. It is part of a series of such events on all the different SDGs. And I am excited to be moderating this one together with Jason Shaplen my colleague at the Asian Leadership International Executive Coaching outfit. So please if this is of interest, jump on the discussion and see if there are any points in it that you could or would be interested to contribute a thought. The process is structured as such that through and after the discussion, the platform moves into ideation and offers a whole set of conclusions and further discussion/options to take it forward. There is no cost or commitment involved - this is purely an exercise in thought leadership! Link is in the first comment. Hope to see you online, Michael #transformationalleadership #communitybuilding #AI #education

Meet our discussion hosts for Week 8, Michael Bartura and Jason Shaplen from ALI Executive Coaching. Michael and Jason bring a wealth of experience in leadership development, mindfulness-based coaching, and strategic advisory roles. Their unique approach to coaching and leadership is grounded in the principles of self-awareness and conscious practices. One of my favorite insights from Michael in the discussion so far is: "One of the interesting shifts in leadership theory over recent years is the understanding of how self-awareness and emotional intelligence should take a central place in the manager/leader's toolbox. Research suggests that the cornerstone for applying these is so-called Executive Presence. The wonderful bit about cultivating such a presence is that it is helpful both in terms of understanding the inner psychological terrain of oneself, as well as the capacity to communicate well and connect successfully and purposefully with others. Therefore, I dare say that a crucial quality we should infuse in younger people is the thirst for self-reflection and growth." Join us as we explore how these insights can transform leadership and drive impactful change in our communities. #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoaching #MindhiveEarth #SelfAwareness
