Aaron De Smet • The human side of generative AI: Creating a path to productivity
It seems a radical idea, but as the climate crisis deepens, ‘sustainable design’ and ‘doing less harm’ are not enough to avert catastrophe – we have to find ways to replenish ecosystems while meeting our own needs.
Malaika Byng • Regenerative design: meet the creatives taking a rooting interest in learning from nature
instead of mandating employees commute to work like ants during rush-hour traffic to be warehoused in cubicles invented in another era, we need to accept that our fundamental patterns of behavior have changed. Our firm has been investigating ways to make the office building a place people want to come to instead of being forced to attend.

If memories were gained in circumstances that are not wholly relevant to the current environment, forgetting them could be a positive change that improves our well-being.
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. When you're young, so many things seem new, and your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you get older, relatively little seems new, which means your brain...

Want to Feel You're Living a Longer, Fuller Life? Neuroscience Says Making Denser Memories Is the Best Way to Slow the Passage of Time
Artificial intelligence is already deeply embedded in our culture, yet all too many of us seem to think of it as something new, something we might recognize if we saw it, something we are not already living with.
Tool or Terror? Looking to Literature to Better Understand Artificial Intelligence
The idea is to make urban areas less dependent on cars as part of the fight against climate change. The 15-minute city framework emphasizes bringing the essentials of daily life — work, entertainment, schools and green space — within a short walk or bicycle ride from home, reducing vehicle use and dramatically cutting carbon and pollution...
