  • In this new era of AI I think it's important to have Coactive Computing.
    • Coactive is a rare word I learned recently that means "working jointly."
      • Coactive means collaborative and cooperative.
      • It means both collaborators are working actively, agentically.
      • Too often our interaction with computing–especially with AI–is too passive.
    • Coactive Computing should be:
      • Human-centered.
        • Human-scale.
        • Not corporation centered.
      • Collaborative.
        • Co-creative and with human agency.
      • Prosocial.
        • Aspirational and community minded.
      • Private.
        • Perfectly aligned with the human's interests.
      • Meaningful.
        • Not about engagement.
