60 Minutes, via Zoom, Wednesday, September 16, 2026: 1 pm PT / 3 pm CT / 4 pm ET
On September 16, Carolyn Jacobs, founder of Keep Slowing, LLC, will host brilliant and wry neuroscientist, inventor, and author Dr. Vivienne Ming for a session of Conversations that Contribute, a series aimed at expansive dialogue and actionable ideas for how adults can support young people in communication and conflict.
This session of CTC will explore the unique human capacities for perspective-taking, curiosity, and intellectual humility that Dr. Ming identifies as the linchpin of a human-AI hybrid intelligence. These very same qualities are also central to Keep Slowing’s focus on human connection, constructive dialogue, and collaborative forms of dispute resolution. We will consider the shared meaning across these ideas for parents, educators, and other adults with the opportunity to help young people build the human capacities that support better machines, better people, and better connection.
About Dr. Ming
Dr. Vivienne Ming explores maximizing human capacity as a theoretical neuroscientist, delusional inventor, and demented author, most recently of Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People. She co-founded Possibility Science, applying machine learning and hybrid intelligence to science and innovation itself. She also founded The Human Trust, an independent nonprofit data trust developing a benchmark for the impact of AI on human development. Dr. Ming sits on numerous boards, including neurotech startup Optoceutics, UC Berkeley’s Neurotech Collider Lab, UC San Diego’s Cognitive Science Department, and the Kennedy Human Rights Center. She is an honorary professor at University College London’s Global Business School for Health.
Registration is $10 per attendee, and Ally in Divorce will donate 100% of the proceeds to Kids Managing Conflict (KMC). Carolyn Jacobs serves on KMC’s Board of Directors.
