In recent discussions across media, business, and academia, much has been said about the convergence of human and artificial intelligence. This powerful combination is already leading to remarkable discoveries. However, there is another form of intelligence that often goes unrecognized – nature’s intelligence.

A recent article I came across highlights this critical dimension, introducing the concept of polyintelligence – an integrated framework of natural, human, and machine intelligence. The notion that nature itself embodies intelligence, with its ability to learn, adapt, and encode knowledge, aligns closely with the interdisciplinary approach I have long advocated.

Technology versus Humans

Frank Diana Humanity , , ,

Futurist Gerd Leonhard recently released a new short 3 minute film titled Technology versus Humans. Here is an excerpt from his Blog announcing the video:

“I am very excited to announce the release of my new short film “Technology versus Humanity”. This film marks the beginning of a new period for me, with much of my future work focusing on the topic of how exponential technological changes are changing what and who we are, as humans, where this is going in the next 15 years, and what we need to do, TODAY, to make sure that these changes will indeed be beneficial to us.

For this film, I was very fortunate to be able to team up with Story7 and Jean Francois Cardella as producer and director, and Jeremy Joly as DOP. They made this film very special – thanks!  We shot most of the footage in Cannes and the surrounding area – see some of the pics below.  If you like this movie, please share it and spread the word, or submit a comment below and let me know what you think.  Thanks!  New hashtag as of today:  #techversushuman”

Gerd was kind enough to do an interview with me back in January. You can read that here. Enjoy the film
