Cards for Insight: Formats for cultivating shared understanding

Since 103% of all co-creation of value resides in the links, feedback
loops, the in-between spaces and unique insights and annotations
from participants, let’s unfold a way to address this:

Cards for Insight
1. Addressing how we relate to information and meaning-making.
2. Pick two cards and add your thoughts between.
3. Notice social stigmergy and reflect on attention.
4. Design and homestead social learning systems in light of intelligence, networked intelligence and systems intelligence.
5. Experience and learn to use Cards for Insight — As easy as a card game, as powerful as a social machine.
6. Understand how to add value in light of situational awareness.
7. Interact to the full extent of your ability.
8. Map moves conducive to knowledge mapping and flows.
9. Play with frames, frame and reframe, move beyond rigid narratives.
10. Cultivate shared understanding in light of generative closure.
11. Take thought conducive to convivial conversation.
12. Extend conversations, at card formats, small group genius scope, social social media reach, networked distribution and social machine scale.
13. Coordinate by applying design cybernetics conducive to a requisite variety of paths between attention turned situational awareness and preferable outcomes.

Card: Dialogue
OpenAI:
1. Natural language processing: One way in which AI can facilitate dialogue is through natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, which allow AI systems to understand and generate human-like language. This can be used to enable human-AI interactions through text or speech, allowing people to communicate with AI systems in a more natural and intuitive way.

2. Dialogue systems: AI-powered dialogue systems can be used to facilitate communication between people and other AI systems, or between people and virtual assistants or chatbots. These systems can be designed to mimic human conversation patterns and behaviors, allowing users to have more natural and intuitive interactions with them.

3. Decision-making support: AI can also be used to help people make decisions by providing them with data-driven recommendations or analysis. For example, an AI system could be used to analyze a large dataset and provide insights or recommendations to a user, helping them to make informed decisions based on data rather than just their own subjective opinions.

4. Social media moderation: AI can be used to help facilitate dialogue and communication on social media platforms by moderating content and identifying and removing inappropriate or spammy posts. This can help create a more positive and productive online environment for dialogue and communication.

5. Language translation: AI-powered language translation systems can help facilitate dialogue between people who speak different languages, by automatically translating text or speech in real-time. This can help break down language barriers and facilitate communication between people from different cultural backgrounds.

ability to hold space for the
possibility of knowledge, as
it emerges, unfolds, directs
and discloses its relevance
to unexplored aspects of
things known?
