Human-AI teaming for people and planet

​The world's toughest challenges - from ending extreme poverty to reversing environmental degradation - are problems that no single actor can solve alone. In practice, progress often boils down to small teams coming together across sectors, disciplines, and geographies to align priorities and collaborate on effective solutions.

​The emerging science of collective intelligence (CI), amplified by recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), offers powerful insights and tools for a new paradigm of team problem solving.

​This workshop is an experimental arena to explore this frontier. Participants will use vibe teaming—a new approach to human-AI teaming developed at Brookings—to help boost team collaboration and rapidly build, test, or scale promising solutions to pressing challenges in public service delivery and beyond.

​AI CoLab events are intentionally open and collaborative. We capture photos, audio, and AI-generated transcripts so we can remix key insights for the AI CoLab Alliance community. This is always done in line with the Charter’s values; transparent, ethical innovation and knowledge sharing to accelerate collective learning (see join.aicolab.org). By participating in an AI CoLab event, you agree to your contributions being captured and shared in accordance with this policy.
