Research - Collaborative Intelligence and Design Philosophy
Research
We investigate collaborative intelligence through multiple lenses: philosophical inquiry, practical experimentation, and tool development.
Our research doesn't seek to automate creativity but to understand how human and machine intelligence can create together what neither could achieve alone.
Current Projects
COLAB Methodology Development
Intensive research into collaborative intelligence frameworks that enable teams to prototype functional solutions in one afternoon through structured human-AI partnership.
Taller Oliva Educational Methodology
Development of pedagogical methodologies and frameworks for integrating collaborative intelligence in educational contexts, with special emphasis on university education. Our approach seeks to transform how design, technology, and critical thinking are taught, preparing students to work creatively alongside AI systems.
iteradores
Questions, Design & Computers.
Philosophical explorations dismantling AI mysticism, examining LLMs as iterative processors rather than intelligent entities.
Design Philosophy for the AI Era
Investigating how design thinking evolves when human creativity meets machine intelligence, preserving human-centered principles while embracing computational possibilities.
Research Streams
Our research organizes around interconnected streams of inquiry, each contributing to a deeper understanding of collaborative intelligence.
Collaborative Intelligence Frameworks
Developing methodologies that amplify human creativity through structured partnership with AI, focusing on augmentation over automation.
Design Philosophy & Theory
Investigating the evolution of design thinking in the AI era, maintaining human-centered principles while embracing new possibilities.
