AI and the Human Psyche
In the age of AI, we’re not just learning how to use new tools — we’re learning how to see ourselves through them.
This session invites participants to explore the emotional, psychological, and cultural dimensions of AI adoption — how fear, curiosity, and imagination can all serve as catalysts for more humane innovation.
Drawing from early focus-group insights, we’ll look at what users actually want from their relationship with AI:
Balanced engagement
Nourishing human creative genius
Learning beyond the surface
Clarity and safety
This event is part of an extended research project hosted by RitualTech.co and funded by Collective Imagination Practice. *By attending, you’ll be participating in a focus group whose insights will contribute to a forthcoming publication on human-centered AI design. Your perspective is both critical and valuable in shaping how we move forward with this technology. We thank you in advance for your sincerity, curiosity, and contribution to this evolving dialogue.
