Our class sheds light on the future of AI and how it ought to be shaped. Through the lens of human well-being, we challenge students to envision AI that delivers positive, lasting impact. @reidhoffman's book does exactly that.
His book will be part of @drfeifei's and my curriculum in Designing AI for Human Well-Being (designingai.stanford.edu), because it aligns so deeply with what we explore: how to design AI thoughtfully, ethically, and with heart.
@reidhoffman doesn’t shy away from the complexities of AI, but he’s unapologetically optimistic about its potential to unlock human growth—from personalized learning to breakthroughs in healthcare.
How do we design AI to promote human flourishing?
This question drives both the class I co-teach at @StanfordGSB and @reidhoffman's new book, Superagency (amazon.com/Superagency-Could…)
For additional insights on how AI can enhance human well-being, dive into Designing AI for Human Well-Being with @drfeifei. #HumanCenteredAI

As AI evolves, Sophie Hamilton & I emphasize the need to "hone our humanity" to thrive with technology. In Humanity in the Age of AI, we explore how AI can enhance empathy, creativity, and purpose for more fulfilling, sustainable futures. #AI #humanity

In Oakland, 50% of elementary students read below grade level, 25% are two or more grades behind. The @eatlearnplay Foundation’s $25M, 5-year commitment to literacy is a beacon of hope—because every child deserves to thrive.

Deeply honored to host @StephenCurry30 & @ayeshacurry at @StanfordGSB for an awe-inspiring screening of Sentenced. The incredible work by @eatlearnplay is lighting up the path to a brighter future for our children—one book, one meal, one moment of play at a time.

Finally it's here! The book infectiousgenerosity.org goes on sale today. I would dearly love to know what you make of it.
fwiw, I'm convinced that the thesis of this book may well be playing out in real time right here on X. I see plenty of nastiness here, sure. BUT also a growing number of people dedicated to sharing insight, wonder, laughter, and yes... kindness. I would LOVE it if you would come on this journey with me. 1) Get the book and read it. 2) Come join me here in trying to find and amplify the best parts of X of which there are many. Maybe we can even get the algorithms on board. A lot hangs on this.
btw, all author proceeds go to TED (a nonprofit where I've been volunteering last 20 years).
You can pick up a copy here or at your local bookstore amazon.com/Infectious-Genero…
...and if you can't afford a copy, ping me [email protected], and I'll try to get you one.
Chip Conley's book "Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better With Age" releases 1/16. I have read it and it is life changing - making life even more meaningful and beautiful. @ChipConley you are a gift to this world. a.co/d/hJVTf5T

In the context of the national discourse, Stanford unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any peoples. That statement would clearly violate Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, the code of conduct for all students at the university.
"Anticipated regret is a form of wisdom." Wise nuggets in tinyurl.com/ycysdpm5 @TEDTalks by @chipconley. Loved his riff w/ @profgalloway on lives of impact w/ a heartfelt shout out to my dad @DavidAaker (who is just getting started #prouddaughter) tinyurl.com/4yhkhw3f
@drfeifei’s memoir, 'The Worlds I See,' captures the essence of what makes us human in the face of AI's advance. Her remarkable journey is a narrative of hope, resilience, and the diverse fabric that shapes technology.

If you rated yourself a 2 or lower on any of these categories, what one specific action can you take this week to bump up that score?
5) Space | Experiencing beauty, awe and spontaneity. Do you have enough time to reflect and learn, to enjoy and be spontaneous, to create and appreciate life’s beautiful moments?
4) Impact | Discovering your unique purpose on this planet. Does your current path align with your unique strengths and values, allowing you to impact others?
3) Balance | Keeping all part of yourself attended to. With a myriad of passions and commitments like family, friends, work, athletics, and spirituality, are you crafting your schedule to ensure balance in the long run?
1) Fun | It’s a hell yes or it’s a no. Are the majority of things you’re saying yes to in your life a true “hell yes”?
2) Fulfillment | Achieving important goals. Are your daily habits and activities making progress toward what matters?
