Human direction
Set the purpose.
Bring context and empathy.
Choose what matters.
HUMANITY’S NEXT POSSIBILITY
THE COEXISTENCE OF HI AND AI
Human intelligence gives AI direction. Artificial intelligence expands what human intelligence can achieve. Together, they can help us shape a wiser future.
UNDERSTANDING COEXISTENCE
Develop human intelligence.
Use AI wisely.
Human intelligence includes curiosity, reasoning, imagination, empathy and judgement. It helps us choose what matters and consider how our actions affect others.
AI can help us work with information, explore possibilities and carry out tasks. Its outputs still need context, careful evaluation and verification.
Coexistence brings these capabilities together: use AI to extend what you can do while continuing to develop your own understanding and responsibility.
HOW THE PARTNERSHIP WORKS
People guide. AI assists.
People remain responsible.
AI assistance
Explore alternatives.
Organise information.
Support the work.
GREATER OUTCOME
Better-informed choices.
Thoughtful solutions.
More time for meaningful work.
A MODEL TO TRY
Four steps to wiser AI use.
Make each interaction an opportunity to improve both the work and your own thinking.
Think first
Define the problem and make your own initial attempt. Decide what a useful outcome would be before asking AI.
What am I trying to achieve?
Collaborate
Ask AI to explain, compare, draft or challenge. Explore alternatives rather than simply seek agreement.
What am I missing?
Evaluate and decide
Check the facts, compare alternatives and consider the people affected. Use your judgement to decide what to accept, improve or reject.
What is the wisest choice here?
Apply and learn
Put your decision into practice and observe the result. Learn from what worked, adjust what did not and carry that understanding into your next task.
What will I do better next time?
COEXISTENCE IN PRACTICE
Use assistance to build capability.
When learning
Try the problem first. Ask AI for a hint or another explanation, then solve a new problem independently.
The goal: understanding you can use, beyond an answer you can copy.
At work
Use AI to prepare a draft or organise non-confidential material. Check the details and add the context it lacks.
The goal: better work, with human accountability.
When solving problems
Explore options with AI. Speak with the people affected, test a small solution and learn from the result.
The goal: real human value, beyond a convincing proposal.
KEEP YOUR HUMAN AGENCY
Stay capable.
Stay responsible.
Keep thinking independently. Read deeply, form your own arguments and practise essential skills. These habits help you evaluate assistance rather than merely accept it.
Protect trust. Check what information you are permitted to share. Verify important claims and explain AI’s contribution when others need to understand how the work was produced.
Prepare for change. Coexistence does not guarantee that every role will remain unchanged. Keep developing useful capabilities and help others navigate the transition with dignity.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Let AI help you do more.
Keep becoming more human.
Choose one task this week. Think, collaborate, evaluate and learn. Did you only finish faster, or did you also understand more and become more useful?
