Hack The Process: Mindful Action On Your Plans

Our brains evolved to seek security by focusing in on the patterns we could recognize in our environment. But according to David Weinberger, Author of Everyday Chaos, new advances in machine learning are showing us unexpected ways to interpret an increasingly complex and digitally enhanced world, creating both opportunities and dangers our ancestral experience couldn't have prepared us for. In this episode of Hack the Process, David tells us what machine learning has to teach the experts in business strategy, how artificial intelligence is showing us new ways to think about what our society truly values, and why he chose to write and publish his ideas about new ways of thinking and communicating in the form of a printed book.
