Human-Machine Intelligence
Working at C-Suite to bring the social and behavioural sciences, behavioural economics and ethics to:
Radical Tech including (artificial) intelligence, machine learning, robotics, quantum, IOT, cyber security, brain computer interfaces, space science …
Solving humanity’s challenges and opportunities where situations/behaviours need shifting including climate change, life sciences, healthcare, new civilisations…
Radical innovation brings uncertainty on adoption, behaviour, ethics, policy, regulation etc and with it, a need to actively understand and leverage the brain, intelligence and behaviour.
Chartered Psychologist, Strategist Innovator, Engineer and Product Specialist with 25 years experience in large tech companies (from the breakthrough research labs in Silicon Valley to start-ups in Silicon Roundabout) through to c-suite roles in the life sciences, management consultancies and in-house labs.
I have worked at the intersection of human and machine intelligence to bring a deep, scientific understanding of neuroscience, human behaviour, cognition, embodied intelligence and human decision making to innovation and a shifting world
It’s all about interoperability of human and machine intelligence.
I can help in three ways
One.
Embedding the social and behavioural sciences into your teams
I have embedded social and behavioral science, product and ethics disciplines into organisations by creating navy seals teams, centering these disciplines within science and tech teams, and creating programs of work/streams of research work - to deepen understanding of human behaviour and apply it to breakthrough-tech.
Two.
Creating & running a nudge unit or human sciences lab in your organisation
When we’re ultimately trying to alter centuries of systems and change human behaviour, a small nudge unit or human sciences lab can help you experiment with more than technology. I’ve created nudge units and labs to experiment with policy, inform algorithms, define problems areas, explore ethics, inform decision making etc - to better leverage and augment both human and machine intelligence.
Three.
Coaching exec teams in leveraging social & behavioural sciences for your business
Most technical or scientific organisations ignore the social sciences and focus instead on user research & engagement, and while both of these are relevant they don’t get to the roots of human and societal behaviour. Similarly, ethics is better suited to co-exist with social science and tech teams to learn from, add to and engage with behavioural/societal anchor points. I have helped tech and science organizations integrate these capabilities - to help them have impact beyond just the building of tools.
