Artificiality Institute

The Artificiality Institute guides humanity through its most profound transformation yet—living alongside synthetic intelligence. As a beacon of hope for human flourishing in a synthetic world, we illuminate the human journey into a future where identities blend, cognition extends beyond biology, and meaningful symbiosis with synthetic minds becomes reality. Through reseach, education, and dialogue, we shape a future where human and synthetic minds do more than coexist—they co-create. In this shared evolution, we extend the meaning of being human through story, relationship, and systems rooted in lived experience. Originally founded in 2019, Artificiality was re-established in 2025 as a nonprofit research institute dedicated to shaping the human experience in a synthetic world. We are currently awaiting 501(c)(3) status. Our Mission and Vision - Mission: To shape the emerging human experience in an increasingly synthetic world through story-based research, immersive education, and cultural dialogue. - Vision: A world where human identity is enriched by awe of diverse intelligences, wonder at emergent consciousness, and symbiosis with minds created for our minds. Our Core Activities: - The Artificiality Summit: Our annual, immersive, and intimate gathering that explores the human experience of AI. Join us in Bend Oregon in October. - The Chronicle: Our longitudinal story-gathering project that captures the often-unseen moments where human lives are changed by synthetic intelligences. Join us in co-creating a cultural dataset to help make AI systems for all of us. - Futures Program: For organizations, we use our Chronicle research as a cultural foresight tool to see the future use of AI and how that changes cultures. And we use our Symbiosis Index to help organizations understand where they and their people are on the journey to human-machine symbiosis.
