ANTROPOTECH

Thirty universal laws for technological humanism.

Let’snotmakeourselvesmorelikethemachines:let’smakethemmorehuman.

A book for people who have to decide: managers, lecturers, professionals, the curious. No needless jargon, no magical promises about AI. Just how technology changes organisations and people — and what we can do about it.

What’s inside
  1. 01

    Thirty laws

    Short principles, each with a concrete example and a question to bring into your next meeting.

  2. 02

    Real cases

    Silicon Valley, luxury, institutions: what worked and what was only theatre.

  3. 03

    Operational ethics

    Criteria you can apply when deciding whether and how to adopt AI. Not abstract philosophy.

The book

Antropotech – 30 leggi universali dell’umanesimo tecnologico. Thirty laws for reading the relationship between the human being, technology and transformation. The book has its own page: this one holds the thinking behind it.

technology

Not a separate world

Not just a set of tools: an extension of the human mind, of culture and of consciousness.

spirituality

Meaning, intention, impact

Not an abstraction opposed to innovation: the ability to question the meaning and the impact of what we build.

The manifesto

Technological humanism does not mean refusing automation or slowing progress. It means choosing consciously. Technological transformation cannot be separated from human, cultural and organisational transformation.

  1. 01

    What we delegate

    Which work we hand to machines and, before that, which problems are worth solving. The choice comes before the tool.

  2. 02

    What stays ours

    Which responsibilities we cannot delegate. Some decisions stay human because they are the ones we answer for.

  3. 03

    How we share the value

    How the value technology generates gets shared: it does not share itself, it is a decision we make.

  4. 04

    Who keeps control

    How we keep control and critical thinking: we do not delegate them to the system we are using.

  5. 05

    Autonomy and dignity

    How we protect people’s autonomy and dignity inside the systems we design.

  6. 06

    What we amplify

    How we use artificial intelligence to amplify creativity, knowledge and decision-making.

The laws

In the book, universal laws are applied to technology, work and organisations. Here: the law of correspondence and the law of detachment.

correspondence

Systems mirror the people who build them

Applied to AI: models, algorithms, data and products reflect the values, biases and priorities of the people who design them.

detachment

Build, then let go

It can apply to leadership or marketing: we build with intention, control the outcome less, and systems can turn out more authentic.

The themes

Among the themes the book takes on: identity, intention, responsibility, leadership, power, balance, transformation, creativity, evolution, collaboration, the future of work, role and talent, the individual and the organisation.

  1. 01

    Identity and intention

    Intention, awareness and our relationship with power shape products, companies, algorithms and technical systems.

  2. 02

    Leadership and power

    Not everything technically possible is desirable: innovation asks for discernment, not only speed.

  3. 03

    Transformation and creativity

    Big innovations often come from moving an idea from one field to another.

  4. 04

    Role and talent

    Organisations will have to outgrow rigid roles and hierarchies, and recognise the mix of skills people actually have.

Where it goes next

Antropotech is not only a book: it could become a body of thought, a method, an ecosystem. None of it has a date yet: it will appear here once it exists.

events

Less polarised rooms

Camilla is developing Antropotech events: they could bring together technology, philosophy, spirituality, leadership and business.

training

The laws, in a room

The ecosystem could include keynotes, workshops, corporate training and programmes for people who decide.

community

Somewhere to continue

Community, podcast, editorial content, universities and cultural institutions: possibilities, not a calendar.
