The Challenge and the Opportunity

It is becoming well-known that our society is struggling with a decline in social connections and we know empirically that this has negative implications for our health, well-being, longevity, and prosperity.

since forever..

Millions of lonely and isolated people are starting to use AI companions, often spending hours a day, to address their fundamental need for social connection and belonging.

We can’t understand the implications of this trend if we can’t collaborate across our silos.

That’s why the HumanConnections.AI program exists—to bring together product developers, researchers, and investors who are shaping this new frontier.

Public, private, and social institutions failed to meet the moment on social media, and we must get it right with AI.

imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness as nonjudgmental expo labeling)

ie: need means (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening as global detox so we can org around legit needs

Leading collective action to repair the social fabric of democratic societies—and avoiding exponential damage—will require shared strategies for understanding and evaluating how new technologies like AI companions will impact human flourishing on both individual and societal levels.

nothing to date has (or will) go deep enough to get to the root of problem

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..

again.. ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness
