Can AI Make Us Better WITHOUT Taking Away Our Humanity? | Dr. Vivienne Ming
“The Disrupted Workforce” interviewed me! We talk through my research on how AI can be leveraged as productive friction for improving teamwork, communities, and our critical thinking and creative capacity.
Ultimately, we took on the question: Can AI make humanity better?

The Disrupted Workforce
Are you ready to adapt and reinvent yourself for the most disrupted and digital workforce in history? Learn more at: https://www.thedisruptedworkforce.com/. It is estimated that over 1 billion people will need reskilling by 2030, and AI will impact more than 300 million jobs. Work, identity, and
The Social Life of Bees: Social learning even plays out in bumblebees! Bees trained to solve a puzzle box via explicit rewards were able to teach other bees using only implicit social rewards. Social learning induces dopamine rewards that can replace sugar rewards and drive bubble-scale innovation.

We humans surely do the same in social learning contexts, which is why role modeling is so powerful and social contagion is so pernicious.
Bumblebees socially learn behaviour too complex to innovate alone - Nature
Bumblebees can learn how to open a two-step puzzle box by observing another trained bee, indicating that these insects can use social learning to acquire a behaviour too complex to otherwise be learnt through individual trial and error.
Death to slides! I’ve always hated their use as a crutch and now we have the research to back it up. Researchers tracked eyes and brain activity as learners watched video lectures with human, animated, or no instructors onscreen. Having an instructor present more synchronized eye movements and brain activity (yay! More interbrain synchrony) and most importantly, “superior post-test performance”.

When people watch social scenes in movies their memory is improved for its details vs match vs. nonsocial scenes. This advantage is driven by activity in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (a node in the default mode network), which suggests differences in social learning (for good and bad) might be predicted by measuring DM structure in learners.

Handelsblatt wrote a lovely profile of me. Since I don't speak German, it is largely just depressing collage of me aging. Visibility can be painful :)
Are you in London? Hate homelessness? On May 1st I’m chairing a dinner for the amazing Crisis Venture Studios! “Venture Philanthropy: The Benefits, How It Works, & How To Get Involved”.

Venture Philanthropy: The Benefits, How It Works, & How To Get Involved - The Conduit
Wed 1st May, 6pm - 7:15pm Led by Venture Studio from Crisis, this event will shed light on how venture philanthropy works, how it is tackling homelessness and other social issues, where the funding comes from and how its ‘impact’ is measured and ensured.
3) “Does Wealth Inhibit Criminal Behavior?” In Sweden, at least, the answer is “no”. Winning the lottery had a “statistically insignificant effect of lottery wealth on players’ own conviction risk” and “child delinquency”. This is related to my belief that UBI won’t “free” people to become more creative.
