Conscious Tech Collective with Dr. Timothy Hanson (Springtail)

​This week we welcome our very own: CTC's co-founder Dr. Timothy Hanson to talk to about his latest project, Springtail. It takes a developmental approach towards building AI agents & devise architectures that learn through active learning -- not by ingesting the internet! (Just like human baby brains 🧠). They are made for open-ended programming and iterative scientific model-building. Tim has a background in Neurobiology and Electrical & Computer Engineering. He was part of the founding team at Neuralink.

​​​Who are we?: We are a multidisciplinary group of experts and enthusiasts from neuroscience, Brain Computer Interface (BCI), Human Computer Interaction design (HCI), psychotherapy, arts, somatic healing, ancient wisdom practices and related fields.

We've been gathering since March 2023 to explore our shared concerns and curiosities about the impact of a new wave of emerging technologies on human well-being.

We believe in and want to advocate for a future where Technology and Capital support human and planetary flourishing. Not the other way around. Conscious tech means 1. raising individual and collective consciousness towards mindful love and compassion (e.g. mental health tech, tech for wisdom) and 2. Craft technology with mindful conscious intentions (e.g. calm tech, ambient computing)

​​​​We define rising consciousness as the (re)connection to ourselves, each other, and to our planet.

Our 3 pillars of action are:
1. Focused Research
2. Thought leadership (publications) / Movement building (events)
3. Product Incubation
