Scaling shapes the world we share, spreading patterns of thought, design, and culture across systems and societies. Jamer Hunt and Adam Cutler join Helen and Dave to explore how scaling can become an act of imagination: what values, practices, and forms of care we choose to amplify, and how human-synthetic creativity might point toward new kinds of growth worth multiplying.

Adam Cutler and Josh Lovejoy take us beyond creativity into the realm of innovation and the future of product design. In this session, Adam and Josh help us see how we can design AI in a way that fosters new and unexpected uses, especially when placed in the hands of the next generation or inventive experts who play with ideas and recombine old with new. They discuss how AI can be designed to align with users’ evolving needs and engage our metacognition.
