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.
Our newsletter includes our ideas, our research, and our reviews of the science as well as our picks from others. We send our newsletter once a week because we strive to slow the frantic pace of debates around AI, down-regulating the noise so you can see stories in context.
There is a lot of chatter about whether companies are realizing value from generative AI. Realizing value from generative AI will take time to prepare, capture, and create the data that allows generative AI to understand the context of our complex human lives.
Enterprises are failing to see enough value add to justify purchasing new generative AI systems like Microsoft CoPilot. Why? Adapting to AI is a complex change that requires different methods for evaluation and change management.
Apple + Google is possibly the most important corporate frenemy relationship today. How these two companies establish their positions in generative AI is critical to watch. But how they re-position their partnership to include generative AI might be one of the most important events of the year.
In traditional media, the role of technology has been largely to convey, distribute, or modify content created by humans. Generative AI, however, is different from any previous technology because it is creating the messages itself.
This week: New research and product previews from Apple, Google, and OpenAI; an interview with Richard Kerris of NVIDIA, crafting better promtps, an interview with Tyler Marghetis, and an exploration of generative AI and flow.
Today, we’re making a change and, in a sailor's terms, yelling out: Jibe Ho! Our jibe is to change the pace of our publishing. Starting now, we will be releasing Artificiality on a weekly basis.
Our vision for AI follows in the legacy of the Macintosh—technology that is equally science and art, humanities and engineering, and, above all, designed 'for the rest of us.'
This Week from Artificiality: A Brief History of Intelligence, Rodrigo Liang & SambaNova, Bonds with Bots, Is the GPT Store AGI in Development, and How to Talk with Your Teens about AI.
This Week from Artificiality: Running with Scissors, 10 Research Obsessions for 2024, Barbara Tversky & Spatial Cognition, Interpreting Intelligence Part 3
