In this session with ASP, Rachel Malek was joined by Lalith Gunaratne to explore questions of how we are both shaping and being shaped by an emerging era of new intelligences. As she puts it, we are no longer simply “sole authors” of these tools and technologies, but “collaborators and stewards”.
Rachel delved into the central ideas in her latest book, which examines how technology and intelligence—both human and artificial—are reshaping society. As automation and algorithms increasingly drive decisions, Rachel called for a rebalancing toward empathy, ethical discernment, and wisdom.
The event closed on a hopeful note: a shared belief that intelligence must be guided by heart, humility, and a sense of interconnection.
