The Extended Mind: A Field Guide to Human-AI Co-Evolution

About this event

Facilitated by Peter Gray, PhD in Biological Anthropology (Harvard), former Anthropology Professor, and now Senior Researcher at TIAA

What would an alien anthropologist notice about humans and our technologies?

Every technology humans have ever adopted — fire, writing, the printing press — has expanded human capabilities while reshaping humanity itself. This interactive workshop starts with that deep evolutionary pattern and uses it to build a practical, portable framework for evaluating today’s AI tools.

Working from your own AI use at work, school, or home, you’ll map which of your current tools are quietly reshaping your skills and habits, then score one real tool you use regularly on how much it helps you, how much it exploits you, and how much it acts without your review.
