Microsoft senior researcher Advait Sarkar recently presented at TEDAI Vienna, where he spoke about AI’s role in elevating human thought. His talk explored how AI transforms knowledge work, creativity, and human thought – and how, if we design AI to make us think, and not think for us, we can greatly benefit as a society.

Yes, yes yes, ... AND it was a totally amazing talk by Advait Sarkar! Worth watching 🍿
Advait’s talk is part of how the Microsoft Research Cambridge UK #ToolsForThought project is exploring how AI can be designed to protect and augment critical thinking, metacognition, and diversity of thought. We’re aiming to reinvent workflows in ways that will support human flourishing in the age of AI. We acknowledge the risks, but we also embrace change. Why? Because there has never been a technology like this that has the potential to adapt to the diversity of human complexity.
