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.
We are dedicated to unraveling the profound impact of AI on our society, communities, workplaces, and personal lives. To truly grasp this transformation, our approach is rooted in engaging with core concepts such as critical thinking, logical analysis, and the scrutiny of underlying assumptions, principles that are essential in the realm of philosophical inquiry.
Learn when to delegate to AI and when to keep tasks human. Our research-backed framework helps professionals make conscious choices about AI collaboration while preserving the work that gives their career meaning and value.
Ignoring context creates a systematic bias in how we measure AI impact. The more context-free a task, the more AI can help. The more embedded a task is in specific knowledge and relationships, the more AI assistance can actually get in the way.
Expertise builds in nested layers, but AI can generate outputs without foundational structure. Learn how "Symbolic Plasticity" helps professionals use AI to reveal connections across expertise layers while preserving deep knowledge integrity.
AI offers speed, but real expertise takes time. Discover how to stay essential by preserving the deep skills that AI can’t replace—and why your value depends on it.
In our Chronicle study tracking how over 1,000 professionals adapt psychologically to AI, the highest-performing AI collaborators were using AI to help them build better abstractions.
Experienced professionals can become more valuable with AI using these three critical abilities that turn decades of experience into competitive advantage rather than liability.
At the Artificiality Institute, we want to know how to think better with AI. Over the past two and a half years, we've studied how over 1,000 people are adapting to this collision of intelligences. What we found challenges almost everything being said about AI and productivity.
We are not just spectators of the world. We are participants in its unfolding. Consciousness matters because it changes how possibility becomes reality, even if we don’t fully understand how.
Today’s digital consent patterns might make sense if data could be used as a currency, benefiting the owner and creator. But that isn't how the internet actually operates. Perhaps a new, alternative metaphor might make more sense: data as an "impression”.
