Thursday Tapestry: AI That Sees, Chats That Heal and Harm, Well-Being Buckets, Tech Fails and A Chuckle!

Chinese-American computer scientist Fei-Fei Li - the "Godmother of AI" - is currently in Singapore! And that's a good reason to focus this issue on that invisible overachiever which quietly powers your apps, answers your questions, and occasionally hallucinates brilliance. As usual, I'll (try) to keep this short, sweet, and packed with insights! 

The Next Big Leap

What if AI could not only see the world - but understand and move through it like we do? Fei-Fei Li's TED talk shares a glimpse into a future where spatial intelligence could enable AI to interact with humans in real life and become a true partner in progress - pretty mind-blowing, right?

Does talking to AI make us feel better - or more alone?

Research by OpenAI and MIT Media Lab dives into how ChatGPT impacts emotional wellbeing, analysing nearly 40 million conversations during a 28-day controlled trial. The findings? It's complicated. Learn more here. 

Double down on well-being

There's so much we do not understand about the impact of AI on us as a species. Perhaps we should "innoculate" ourselves, just in case. This Psychology Today article suggests ways we can swap our bucket lists with buckets of well-being. Keen to give it a try?

What Could Possibly Go Wrong? ("Hva kan vel gå galt?")

We’ve all heard it - AI will take over our jobs one day... right? Well, this hilarious Norwegian ad by REMA 1000 shows how relying too heavily on tech and automation can backfire. If you’ve had a smart gadget go rogue on you, I’d love to hear your story! 

“AI, humanise this essay!”

And finally for a chuckle. Imperfection - the ultimate disguise for AI!😄

Here's to bold moves, fresh perspectives, and the stories still waiting to be told.
