Collaborating with the Oracle: Core Skills and Cognitive Challenges for Navigating the Generative Era
As generative AI becomes embedded in everyday study and work, systems are improving through deep research and RAG, with a marked reduction in hallucinations. At the same time, they may displace workers. This makes sustained training essential – building core competencies, including digital citizenship skills. AI should be used as support, not as a substitute for thinking.<br><br><br>
Interacting with AI to (Re)Discover the Value of Incompleteness
With generative AI, the relationship shifts: from tool to interlocutor. Five interaction protocols – exploratory, verificatory, delegative, interrogative, and dialogic – help make practices and responsibilities explicit. In organizations, this calls for transparency, a shared culture, and generative leadership.
Extended Intelligences to Serve Real-World Problems
In a fragmented world, extra-large expectations emerge from signals and practices already taking shape. In the domain of intelligences, this means moving beyond the race for benchmarks and grounding AI in real problems, and in networks of human and non-human agency. The anti-problem method and extended cognitive hygiene help prevent workslop in agentic spaces.
What Are We Waiting For? Imagination Is Fueled by Our Lived Experience
In a present shaped by "FLUX", waiting for the future is not enough: it calls for concrete action and experimentation. Emerging social expectations become a compass for imagining and acting together – rethinking metrics and the responsible use of AI within networks.
Le Monde (des Affaires) Diplomatique: Is Diplomacy the Only Path Forward?
Geopolitics is moving into the heart of business: it is no longer a topic for specialists. With overlapping crises and the emergence of new blocs, companies must read markets, regulation, and consumption as political signals. When the big players clash, smaller ones pay the price. What’s needed is a “diplomatic” company – able to adapt, understand different cultures, and build collaboration.
Steering Collaboration Toward the Next Generations. (Finally) Moving Beyond 20th-Century Thinking
Six generations now work side by side, and two centuries meet inside organizations: Baby Boomers still in charge, Gen Z less represented but carrying new expectations. Competitive advantage emerges when work is redesigned with younger people – engagement, recognition, experimentation. Otherwise, stress increases and talent leaves. Longer lives are extending careers: we need tools and active labour-market policies that guide choices and turn ideas into high-quality employment, without replicating 20th-century templates.
Demography Is Not Fate. It Is Tangible Change
Six generations now live side by side, and longer lives are reshaping roles and expectations. No longer is it true that “at 65 you are old”, nor do people work in the same way they did at 30 until retirement. The crux is the time devoted to care, which acts as a cultural algorithm. We need to redistribute time and effort and turn the encounter between generations into shared value.
