Collaborative Intelligence
Which of these terms are you more familiar with: Artificial Intelligence, Intelligence Augmentation or Collaborative Intelligence?
Whilst they are differing processes and perspectives Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intelligence Augmentation (IA) will change our interactions with technology and they are an ever emergent part of the fabric of organisations.
This article in the HBR
although lengthy, is an insightful, thought provoking, controversial and useful piece for igniting discussion and maybe even shaping the direction in your organisation’s technological innovation.
Whereas the article lacks detail on issues of bias and ethics – which in my view are crucial elements of any discussion on this topic – it does highlight technology, human interaction and connectivity as the building blocks for ‘collaborative intelligence’. Bias and ethics we know are human conditions; so any data which may have been influenced by either or both will inevitably translate to create a ‘machine condition’. Any challenge and intervention to bias and ethics in the human condition should be emulated to the machine condition.
The key take home message for me is in the title ‘collaborative intelligence’. At epoché we nurture collaboration in all we do, this will be the term I use when engaging with clients and colleagues in future discussions on AI and IA.
I encourage you to stand back, take an objective look and nudge your narrative towards ‘collaborative intelligence’.

Among the hustle and bustle of trying to get a socially distanced seat at a recent neuroscience seminar, I overheard a remark:
“We should consider designing learning interventions for the brain and not the learning style”
With two millennials, one teenager and an even bigger kid with a passion for all things hi-fi in the house you can probably imagine the cacophony of sounds that sometimes greets me.
I recently received a communication that was signed ‘Mx’ from a colleague who had previously signed communications as ‘Mr’. This prompted me to ask some questions and do some research; for me it is not about labelling and compartmentalising, it is about being informed, inclusive and respectful.
I constantly seek research and findings that effectively and meaningfully link academia and the real world. A recent example that sparked my imagination was discovering the works of Elizabeth Blackburn a Nobel prize winning, molecular biologist.

So, here’s two questions:
Would you frequent a commercial cannabis establishment if you were in a place where it was legalised?
Would you partake in any Cannabis consumption with a client/colleague of that region?
The relationship between mindfulness and stress is well documented. Our awareness of stress and the negative impact it has on ours and other lives is becoming more perceptible. Mindfulness, as a stress reducing therapy, is becoming increasingly used in clinical practice and its impetus in and outside the workplace is gaining steady traction.
