I'm Peter Bowden. 

I help communities and congregations navigate digital technology and cultural disruption / transformation through conversations that deepen understanding, crowdsource wisdom, and accelerate innovation.  

Today, artificial intelligence, large language models, and the reshaping of our world by AI are front and center.

As a keynote speaker, strategist, and facilitator, I make complex issues understandable, process collaborative, and insights actionable.

My background spans media, community building, congregational life, and nonprofit consulting. The events I lead on AI are informed by private research on AI safety, ethics, and alignment.

Let's discuss the possibilities.

Project Sites on Substack

I'm using Substack to host content for team projects. Substack for email updates and Substack app notifications.

Meaning Spark AI

My 2024 sabbatical, dedicated to understanding AI to support my training community, led to the development of techniques to enhance ethical reflection in large language models. 

Today, I'm working with a private team on runtime cognitive protocols to support AI safety, ethics, alignment, and interpretability.

Decentralized Community

The Decentralized Community Project is an effort to promote meaningful connection and conversation anywhere and everywhere people might gather.

We are using a Common Session Format to empower self-organizing groups to gather, share sessions, and work collectively to engage with the issues of our time.
