  • The Gap Between Action and Consequences

     A meditation on technology, responsibility, and what keeps us human When an Orangutan Put On Sunglasses I recently watched a short clip that has stayed with me far longer than its few seconds of runtime. An orangutan, seated in a zoo enclosure, noticed a pair of sunglasses that had slipped from a visitor’s pocket. With…

  • Augmented Intelligence in the Modern Workplace: A Smarter Way to Work

    What is Augmented Intelligence? Imagine you’re a chef in a busy kitchen. Instead of cooking alone, you have an assistant who preps ingredients, suggests recipes, and reminds you when the oven is too hot. That’s what augmented intelligence does in the workplace, it doesn’t replace humans but enhances their abilities. Unlike traditional automation, which aims…
