😏 The Human + AI Equation: Is This the Key to Joyfully Unlock Your Inner Genius? 🤖


Imagine AI as a creativity and happiness enhancer. As is hopefully represented by the image below, AI can help, but only when we guide it as "The Human in the Loop." This kind of "co-intelligence" (as author Ethan Mollick calls it) is crucial. I'm calling it the Human + AI Equation.

My mission is to help people not to die with their creative sparks still stuck inside. The creative juices for this work have flowed through three cohorts of the Creativity Sandbox, with all kinds of creative play along the way.

As I get ready to offer a "private opening" for the next-level Creativity Sandbox Community, I want to share the joy of this kind of play in a free webinar, "AI, Creativity, & Happiness" next Friday, August 16th, at 11am PT (the recording is also free for those who register.)

I can't wait to see you there and to share more about what I've learned about how we all can live happier lives.

And, speaking of learning, I was delighted to recently discover an amazingly insightful AI thought leader, Kai-Fu Lee. Lee has been working in AI for over 40 years, including leading-edge executive positions at Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

I recommend this Fortune Innovation Conference interview for starters. If you want more, scroll down for my video insights, including a mini-review of his book, AI 2041.

I founded the Creativity Sandbox Community to help people not die with their creative sparks still stuck inside. The proven-to-be-successful Creativity Sandbox Framework combines the creative chutzpah of pure play, the accountability & support that comes from participation in our community, and the power of putting in the reps by practicing a practice. I am also a passionate advocate for showing your face through using video in all forms and in leveraging the astounding power of AI as a creativity enhancer, always with the Human in the Loop.
