There is AI in Team

Today, with a few minor exceptions, we are all posthuman. If you use a smartphone, Siri, or Alexa, have a pacemaker, hearing aid, or prosthetic limb, or take any number of lifesaving pharmaceuticals, you are posthuman. Whether that means we are "evolving" from Homo Sapiens into something new - like "Homo Gestalt" (Theodore Sturgeon's fictional species formed by the symbiosis of four or more "humans" with advanced capabilities) - or simply augmenting our capabilities through technological and biological improvements. No matter the label, we are witnessing the emergence of a new type of collaborative team.

This blog is a companion to my book, "There is AI in Team - How humans, augmented humans, and non-humans will work together to build the future." In general, it is a call to action for us all to embrace the convergence of artificial intelligence, human augmentation, robotics, extended reality, the internet of things, and everything that comes with it. It is the start of a conversation about how in order for us to exist in the 21st Century we must rethink how we work, live and grow with all of our team members: humans, augmented humans and non-humans.
