AI is useful. Let me get that out of the way. What we are mostly referring to as AI at the moment (Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Pilot, etc.) can do useful things. The point of there being an AI bubble is not that it isn’t useful — it’s that … [continued]
The Collective Intelligence Project bills itself as an organization that is steering transformative AI towards better outcomes for everyone.
