AI agents and the future of thoughtful collaboration

As people become increasingly accustomed to working with AI agents, chatbots, and copilots, the world will start to look a little different.?
I’ve been curious about how these AI tools extend to, amplify, and challenge our creative and strategic vision—and about the resulting impact on our interactions, productivity, understanding, and creativity.
Allie K. Miller and I explored this in our recent experiment, which involved discussing the future with a team of custom GPTs listening and providing feedback on the topics:
We included eight GPTs, each designed to represent a specific point of view. e.g.?
The questions we pondered with our agents (which included AI Frankenstein and AI Chesire Cat) ranged from “How can AI-driven insights reshape strategic decision-making in business?” to “How might AI be used to help bridge the understanding of consciousness across species?”
The exercise—beyond having some entertainment value—felt useful in the way it helped us imagine the future of thoughtful collaboration and experience what’s already possible today. It added to my view that our future will involve teams of custom AI agents, each bringing unique tools and perspectives to the table and enriching our work.
How do you see AI agents shaping our future interactions and productivity? I’d welcome your thoughts in the comments.

3 个月Thanks Reid Hoffman and Allie K. Miller I’m intrigued and keen to see where these conversations lead as more content gets documented. We are limited of course by what is in the system that AI draws from. Just curious, did you mean a comma between ‘context’ and ‘awareness’ or was that a misreading by the AI scribe? I thought you meant ‘context awareness’.

7 个月As an AI enthusiast, I'm inquisitive about multi-agent systems and how they might enhance human intelligence. Innovations such as SymthOS, which allow AI bots to be orchestrated without programming, are revolutionary. #Innovation #SymthOS #AI

7 个月I heavily use AI for brainstorming while developing ideas and principles around a cognitive enhancement tool. The AI helps me maintain a linear thought process instead of going off on side quests, assists with gap analysis, and brings up considerations I hadn't thought of. It also pushes me to check my assumptions (and its own), and helps me use the correct terminology. Additionally, I use AI to help me apply for new roles, create insightful documents and tools, and recently to turn a conceptual idea about a 'career wedge' mentioned in a post into a prototype. I find different AI tools have unique strengths: Perplexity for research, ChatGPT for structuring and process, Claude for language refinement and critical checking, and Pi for big ideation and brainstorming conversations.

8 个月IMO, its give and take. agent has already taken so much data and giving back to you. As a common user don't know the quality of data in terms of authenticity or bias etc. hence my Q is how to remove those glitches or noise from the agent answer since every answer seems good to user. in future, humans need to know where to stop the use of agent because its the never ending process resulting to confusion and chaos.
