The theme of the Artificiality Summit 2026 is Unknowing. We start with five speakers—David Wolpert, Caleb Scharf, Wakanyi Macharia-Hoffman, Gašper Beguš, and Nina Beguš—whose work converges on a single finding: the uncertainty surrounding AI is permanent, not a phase.
Helen Edwards is a Co-Founder of Artificiality. She previously co-founded Intelligentsia.ai (acquired by Atlantic Media) and worked at Meridian Energy, Pacific Gas & Electric, Quartz, and Transpower.
We’ve created a workshop version of our data-driven decision making training specifically designed for learning and fine-tuning the use of ChatGPT for helping make better decisions. Our focus is on the team: how can employees best use their digital partners?
How might a mind for our minds help us with the paradox of knowing what we care about but allowing us to care about something for which it has no knowledge?
This workshop exemplified the potential of innovative thinking tools like metaphors and system understanding in tackling complex problems. By enabling the participants to look at their challenge from a fresh perspective, it paved the way for unique, adaptable solutions.
