SUMMARY:Co-Intelligence: The Next Competitive Advantage
DESCRIPTION:**Overview**\nCo-Intelligence: The Next Competitive Advantage\n*Why humans who learn to think with AI will outperform those who just use it* \n2026 marks the transition from AI as a tool to AI as a collaborator—a shift that requires moving beyond prompt-and-response interactions toward genuine cognitive partnerships that compound skill\, insight\, and impact over time. \nThis talk explores *Co-Intelligence*—a term popularized by [Ethan Mollick](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emollick/)\, and extended here into a practical framework for how individuals can think *with* AI rather than merely use it. Co-Intelligence is not about automation or shortcuts; it is about designing persistent\, learning partnerships where human judgment\, creativity\, and context combine with machine speed\, scale\, and pattern recognition to produce outcomes neither could achieve alone. \nThrough real-world examples—from developers and analysts to consultants and knowledge workers—we will examine what changes when AI becomes a collaborator: how workflows evolve\, how insight emerges faster\, and how capabilities begin to compound rather than reset with each task. We will also address the behavioral shifts required for true collaboration\, along with the common failure modes that keep people trapped in tool-mode\, including over-reliance\, cognitive offloading\, and false confidence. \nAttendees will leave with a practical Co-Intelligence stack they can apply immediately\, including methods for building persistent context\, frameworks for cognitive delegation\, and ways to measure augmented performance. More importantly\, attendees will see how professional value in an AI-driven world increasingly comes from building strong cognitive partnerships with AI—moving beyond simple tool use toward sustained\, amplified capability. \n**Agenda**\n6:00pm – 6:30pm: Networking – food & drinks\n6:30pm – 8:00pm: Presentation & discussion\n8:00pm: Networking at [Lake Monster Brewing](https://www.lakemonsterbrewing.com/) \n**Meet Our Featured Speaker**\n[Nick Roseth](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickroseth/) explores how humans and intelligent systems think\, create\, and evolve together. With more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of business\, design\, and emerging technology\, he has helped startups and Fortune 500 organizations navigate transformation across industries including healthcare\, finance\, and construction—building everything from early digital platforms to immersive XR experiences and\, more recently\, Agentic AI and human-machine systems. As the founder of [Explore Design](https://explore.design/)\, he advises organizations on AI adoption through a distinctly human lens that integrates psychology\, behavioral design\, and strategic foresight\, with a focus on trust\, culture\, leadership\, and decision-making. His work centers on designing adaptive systems where humans and machines co-create rather than compete. Nick is passionate about the tech and entrepreneurship community\, a perspective he shares through speaking\, writing\, and advisory work\, including a [TEDx talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIIcFPG4d5g) on technology and workforce transformation and the film [DocuMntary](https://documntary.com/). Follow Nick’s work on the [Adaptive Intelligence Substack](https://nickroseth.substack.com/). \n**Sponsors**\nThis event is sponsored by [Lab651](https://lab651.com/) & [Recursive Awesome](https://recursiveawesome.com/)

Or download to your Quest or SteamVR headset at NeoArtSpace.com \n \nSchedule: \n\n6:30 Social and setup\n7:00 Kickoff / announcements\n7:15 Philip and Zach\n~8:45 Tear-down\, cross the sidewalk to Yardhouse\n\n \nAttending and Parking: \nThis event will be in person at the REM5 STUDIOS new office in West End and the presentation will be streamed live at https://www.youtube.com/igdatc \nPark underground and take the central red elevator to ground level\, then cross the sidewalk. REM5 STUDIOS is across from Yardhouse. Map below. \n \nAbout MN VR and HCI: \nMN VR and HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) welcomes developers\, tinkerers and enthusiasts working with all variety of VR\, AR\, HCI\, hardware hacking\, creative coding and interactive art. Members are working on projects with custom displays and lenses\, projection mapping\, mocap\, tiny computers\, servos and sensors\, interactive art and a wide variety of VR\, AR\, motion and computer vision applications. If you’ve only been to our parent group IGDATC meetings\, MN VR and HCI is a slightly different format: We aim for smaller group discussions and lots of specific details.
