On AI As Architecture Of Choice

Three years ago, facing a breath-taking view in the sole coworking space in Matera, Italy, I was finishing my first piece of length about humans and machines, Of cooperation between men and machines, for a p2p approach to collective intelligence. I was concerned about the sense of our work when AI would conquer one human capability after the other. How men and algos could become complementary, how technology could help to trigger collective work? Why do the best decisions and creations stem for communities relying on diversity? Whilst I was still into the evolutionary stuff (noosphere, the betterment of humanity and similar theories I since left behind) this work had embedded what would remain my obsession until this very moment: the will to understand how to design technology to make humans more human, capable, and free. It has been clear over the past few weeks that things have been speeding up as far as AI is concerned.
