Dragonfly Thinking – one year later

Presented by ANU College of Law, Governance & Policy

An exploration of how we can learn to use AI to augment our thinking and co-create with it, while navigating the jagged frontier of AI’s fast-changing capabilities.

How can we use AI to help us better understand complex problems? How can we learn to co-create with AI? How can we use AI to better understand different disciplinary and language communities, and potentially increase dialogue and understanding among them? What would it mean to bring AI into policy making and development work?

These are some of the many questions that Anthea Roberts and Miranda Forsyth have explored over the last year through Dragonfly Thinking … questions that have taken them to Silicon Valley and Dubai and led to their interaction with leaders from PNG to the Solomon Islands. In doing so, they have stretched their cognitive capacities and intellectual imagination beyond what they thought was possible. In this session, they share their experiences over the past year, exploring what embracing AI might mean for the future of cognitive work.
