Robotics and AI have integrated human and mechanical capabilities at work, with jobs lost and skills condensed to a keystroke. But human intelligence is far from obsolete. With crowd-computing we have knowledge exchanges like Wiki, and real-time curated news. Semantic technology helps leaders to understand what is happening in the work place. But neurology shows that these leaders cannot make choices, and therefore take action, without emotion. Augmented Intelligence takes human intuition and imagination, and combines it with AI’s ability to automate and scale, making the Intelligent Workplace hard to beat.

2. HUMAN + MACHINE
Human and machine is the magic.
Studies show that human + machine
will beat a human or a machine at
almost every task.

Right now it is estimated that we have
a 30-year grace period before
machines takeover in the workplace.

4. SYSTEMS SCIENCE
Systems Scientists see the world as a connected system of
elements, each interdependent on the next. Originating in
cybernetics it is the study of communications and control in
complex organisations, concerned with the structure, behaviour
and control of natural, human and non-humans systems.

5. RELEASE FROM DRUDGERY
Norbert Wiener - father of Cybernetics - saw the potential
for humans and machines collaborating. This could
“amplify human power and release people from the
repetitive drudgery of manual labor, in favour of more
creative pursuits in knowledge work and the arts.”

“The automatic factory could not fail to raise new social
problems [as it] threatens to replace [human workers]
completely by mechanical agents. …If these changes…
come upon us in a haphazard and ill-organised way, we
may well be in for the greatest period of unemployment
we have yet seen.”

16. THE RIGHT THING
The question to ask is not how do we make
machines more intelligent, but how do we
get them to do the right thing by people?
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

17. LOCK IT AWAY
We could try an insist that
AIs are locked away, in
Farady cages, disconnected
from the world.
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

18. YES MA’AM, NO MA’AM
Limit AIs to yes no answers. In effect
stunting its ability to grow. But even in
yes and no answers there is judgement.
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

19. BUILD AN AI VERIFIER
A verifier is an AI that can check if other
AIs will be ‘beneficial’. As a community we
could concentrate on building that first.

20. HUMAN AND MACHINE AS ONE
With cooperative inverse reinforcement
learning, the human holds the values, and
machines carry out behaviour that achieve
the values that is has derived.
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

21. DERIVED VALUE SYSTEM
The agent derives your value system by
observing your behaviour.

22. HUMANS AIN’T PERFECT
We don’t always behave in a rational way as
my behaviour around Voodoo Donuts
attests to. But many say that imperfection is
what makes our values so important.

24. ONE SYSTEM
In 1968 Engelbart demoed a networked,
interactive system that formed the
foundation of modern computing. To him
humans and computers are one system.

25. COUNTER CULTURE EXPERIMENTATION
The LSD fuelled counter culture opened Engelbart up to
experimenting on everything from psychedelic drugs to new
computer technologies. LSD expanded the mind. HCI augmented
the mind. Technology is never built in isolation. It is a product of its
time - humans and technology combined.

26. AI
The idea of a computer
system that, by reproducing
human cognition, allows that
system to function
autonomously and effectively
in a given domain. An AI
system demonstrates a kind
of intentionality—it initiates
action in its environment and
pursues goals.
Source: Wikipedia: An Intelligence Augmentation tool @constant_garden #AugmentInt

27. IA
The idea that a computer
system supplements and
supports human thinking,
analysis, and planning, leaving
the intentionality of a human
actor at the heart of the human-
computer interaction. Focusing
on the interaction of humans
and computers, rather than on
computers alone.

probably most human-centred if
we talked about what you as an
individual can do today.

30. ABUNDANCE
Do you see abundance
effecting your company?
How would you master
abundance with AI?

31. DILUTION OF DEMAND
Is your business likely to succumb
to the dilution of demand?
How can AI and other exponential
technology create abundance?
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

32. DISRUPTION
Is there start up activity in your
industry that threatens your
business?
Is your job at risk of automation - if
so, can you drive that automation
so it is centred around human
strengths and values?
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

33. PREPARE POLICYMAKERS
Help them, help us by insisting they
think about the workplace of the future
and how we make the best of it, whilst
protecting us from the worse of it.

34. TAKE CONTROL
We still have time to shape AI and its effect
on the workplace or at least our response
to its effect. Don’t shirk this responsibility
because you think it won’t effect you.
@constant_garden #AugmentInt

35. TOGETHER IS
BETTER
Line up coordination, conventional
wisdom and technology to design
humans into the system and not out of
the system.

36. WE HAVE THE POWER
As workers, consumers and humans can we
share in the responsibility in finding a way
of making AI, IA.
