Deep Tech for Human Health & Performance ◆ Public-Private Knowledge Transfer ◆ In-Service Interprofessional Co-Learning ◆ Demand-Side Innovation ◆ Natural Philosophy of Science
Another nice podcast from Daniel Serfaty and Aptima. The key observation is that the #sciences of #human cognition and performance are not only essential for development of #generativeai and its use, they may be the most important driver of its development and use including #measurement of its near-term effect on interactions and long-term #impact on productivity or on others whether intended or not. In this prospective knowledge transfer, the #methodologies for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of generative AI likely will only be as good as they have been for humans. We will need to use the right methodologies for the right application of generative AI. That's not a simple decision, and it requires the right kind of expertise from the human sciences. Both interventions and control groups have #consequences, for example, especially in a #naturalistic setting. Even more important is the question of whether developments in generative AI will actually help us understand explicit or implicit #interactions among humans more deeply and more quickly, even to include more #philosophical considerations such as #interpersonal #norms and #mores. See e.g., recent thoughts about this https://lnkd.in/ehw-XcFr and early thoughts on this https://lnkd.in/d24F_Jd Moving forward, it is transformatively important to recognize that our interactions with generative AI will generate #multiple new entities. If generative AI is like a "new species," then our interactions with it are more like procreation and child rearing. As David Passiak reminds us, generative AI is not one thing. It is a #community or #workforce that we can develop and utilize with all the diversity of talent and biases that it offers. Social and organizational psychology will be as useful as cognitive psychology in this context. As Serfaty points out, research on human use of generative AI will have direct implications for #policy. It seems both likely and #promising that this also will have implications for policy around human endeavors that may not utilize generative AI, especially novel endeavors accelerated by social media of which we seem to have lost ethical control and an appreciation of societal impact.
We are so glad you found such great value in this latest episode of MINDWORKS!
