Augmentation Lab

Thank you for joining us at the Human Augmentation Summit at the MIT Media Lab! ✨ It was an incredible energy with the community coming together to share work and discuss potentialities and ethical implications of advancements in augmentation technologies. 🧠 We are in a unique moment in history where it has become urgent for us to step into the responsibility of the philosopher-builder, using intelligence to create new things and wisdom to choose the right things to create. Building this community of philosopher-builders is what the Augmentation Lab has set out to do. ➡️ Here is a list of the fantastic projects and presenters at the Summit: https://lnkd.in/eMm-hfrp 🦾 To get involved with the Augmentation Lab: - Fill out the Involvement Form https://lnkd.in/eAZBhFGi - Join our Discord! https://lnkd.in/e3987abp - Join the Sustainable Technology Goals working group! https://lnkd.in/eHHd6epc - Subscribe to the Augmentation Lab and STG substacks https://lnkd.in/ekXwHQkg & https://lnkd.in/emfaH2Sk 🙏 A huge THANK YOU to the sponsors who make the Augmentation Lab possible: Godot True Ventures Æthos MIT Media Lab Seeed Studio OpenBCI 1517 Fund Neurable 🌏 It speaks for itself that we had to increase the ticket count 2x to 250 and most attendees stayed with us for the entire 6 hours of the event, or even longer.

How do we live with technology 🤖 and the upcoming AI revolution to inform and develop technologies for human flourishing? Earlier this month, we started our second Augmentation Residency program under the theme of personalized AI and wearable AI, for which 12 residents have come together to build technologies ranging from wearable devices for behavioral change to personal autonomous AI agents, privacy and security solutions, to BCI applications, and more. In the technologies we develop, the human is in the foreground, and how we can live with technologies meaningfully, particularly with emergent technologies finding their applications. We would like to thank Godot, True Ventures, 1517 Fund, Seeed Studio, Æthos, and Prusa Research for helping us make this possible. And, of course, thank you to the residents and Augmentation Lab organizers & friends who are making this community an inspiring place to be part of: Aida Baradari, Treyden Chiaravalloti 🔭, Dünya Baradari 🌍, Andre Dubovskiy, Ninon Lizé Masclef, Camilla Gironi, Nasibe Nur Dündar, Advait Paliwal, Jacob Trebil, Soham Patil, Connor Parish, Nathaniel Adibuer, Tryanni Chiaravalloti, Yasmeen Hmaidan, AnhPhu Nguyen, Alice Cai, Lillian Tara.

It was great having E. Glen Weyl speak to the members of the Augmentation Residency! 📢 These events are public, so reach out to us if you want to join the next event!

Super excited to be part of Æthos Station!

Building technologies for longevity is not about chasing immortality. 😇 How might we embrace life transitions to inspire technological design to augment the aging process? New Op-ed Piece! https://lnkd.in/eUNSYbNa
