AI as a productivity tool is old news. The reality is that we’re just barely scratching the surface of what’s possible with generative AI.
Today, we gain a different perspective on how AI can be leveraged as productive friction for enhancing human capacity.
This isn't about making repetitive tasks easier; it's about making us better.
In this episode, we explore the untapped potential of AI with Dr. Vivienne Ming, a renowned AI expert, neuroscientist, and visionary in leveraging AI to unlock the full spectrum of human capacity.
As a self-proclaimed professional mad scientist, she’s the co-founder of Socos Labs and sits on the board and leadership teams at several other tech companies and organizations, including OptoCeutics and Dionysus Health. Dr. Ming has been at the forefront of using AI to unlock human potential and improve lives, challenging the conventional narratives surrounding artificial intelligence.
We discuss how AI can serve as a powerful partner in augmenting human intelligence, pushing us toward deeper insights and solutions that we wouldn’t have reached on our own. From the workforce to education, Dr. Ming sheds light on how AI can boost our creativity, making us better learners, thinkers, and innovators.
But it's not just about what AI can do for us individually; it's about how we can leverage it to create better teams and communities. By recognizing its limitations, we can get the most out of AI through productive friction, using it as a sparring partner of sorts to challenge our ideas, find areas of improvement, and see problems through a new lens.
Curious about how AI can enhance your life and work, not just simplify it? Tune in now.
