Mickey McManus on co-thinking, beautiful complexity, pro-social design, and evolutionary social science (HAI Ep51)

Join Mickey McManus, Executive Coach and Senior Advisor at Boston Consulting Group, as he explores the frontiers of embodied intelligence and cognitive scaffolding in AI-driven transformation. Drawing from evolutionary design principles and his experience in innovation labs, Mickey explains how human cognition extends into our environments and how feedback loops—both augmenting and corrupting—shape the future of pro-social AI and organizations. Listeners will gain valuable insights on pace layering, spatial thinking, and hands-on strategies for adopting AI, including ethical considerations at the cutting edge of synthetic biology.
