Ecosystems of Intelligence for Community-Driven Design

abstract: Humanity’s symbiotic relationship with technology provides unprecedented access to collective wisdom. Through devices, the Internet, and now AI, humans have never been more capable. But smart individuals or even AIs working alone will not solve the wicked problems of the world; we need collective creativity and decision-making. This talk explores new opportunities for AI systems to support the social dynamics of problem-solving— to cultivate ecosystems of intelligence. I will share work from UC San Diego’s Design Lab on how tools for human-AI interactions can make individuals, teams, and communities more adaptive, empowered, and wiser. bio: Steven Dow is a Professor in the Cognitive Science Department and the Design Lab at UC San Diego, Director of the ProtoLab research group, and Co-Founder of the Design for San Diego (d4sd.org) initiative. His research on human-computer interaction, creativity, social computing and collective intelligence seeks to engage diverse teams and communities to co-create better, more inclusive, and more sustainable outcomes. Prof. Dow received the NSF CAREER Award for research on “advancing collective innovation.” His research has been funded by multiple National Science Foundation grants, a Google Faculty Grant, a Yankelovich Center for Social Science Research Award, Stanford’s Postdoctoral Research Award, and a Hasso Plattner Design Thinking Research Grant. He holds an MS-HCI and PhD in Human-Centered Computing from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a BS in Industrial Engineering from University of Iowa.
