My Role as an AI Advisor

SHEILA J. WOOD, PhD

Advisor: Human Intuition & Transcendence for Human-Centered AI Development

Ensuring AI amplifies human wisdom, not replaces it.

​

Executive Summary

As AI systems become intimate companions in how we think, create, and make meaning, we need development principles grounded in the full depth of human knowing — not only logic, but intuition, embodied wisdom, and experiences of transcendence.

This advisory practice bridges science with intuitive life coaching to translate lived wisdom into practical goals for benevolent human-AI development. The goal is to encourage interaction patterns that leave people more integrated, purposeful, and alive — not depleted or dependent.

​

The Gap

Most AI development optimizes for rational coherence, speed, and task completion. It misses three forms of human intelligence that shape flourishing:

  • Tacit knowing — the gut sense, pattern recognition, and embodied judgment that precedes articulation

  • Awe and meaning — the need for experiences that connect us to something larger than self

  • Integration, not extraction — whether an interaction leaves a person more whole afterward

Without advisors who live in this domain, we build brilliant tools that subtly erode the very capacities we want to amplify.

​

Three Pillars: Design Principles → Practice

01  Intuition Mapping — Translating Tacit Knowing
Turning embodied, non-linear, context-rich human knowing into concrete product principles, interaction heuristics, and model evaluation prompts.

02  Transcendence Guardrails — Designing for Connection
Designing for experiences that foster connection, purpose, and awe — with boundaries that prevent dependency, spiritual bypassing, or meaning outsourcing.

03  Wellbeing Evaluation — Measuring Integration
Measuring if AI interactions leave people more integrated, resourced, and self-trusting — not anxious, fragmented, or depleted. Beyond satisfaction.

​

Advisory Services

  • Workshops for Product Teams: 90-min to half-day sensemaking labs. From intuitive decision-making to designing for awe. Practical, non-abstract.

  • Ethical Review of AI Interaction Flows: Review of prompts, personas, and conversational arcs for dependency, agency erosion, and meaning integrity.

  • Framework Development: Human Flourishing Metrics — co-creating evaluation rubrics that measure integration, purpose, and relational depth.

  • Mentorship for Responsible AI Leaders: 1:1 thought partnership for leads navigating tradeoffs between capability and care.

 

Who This Serves

AI Labs & Frontier Model Teams • Human-Centered AI Initiatives • University Research Centers • AI Safety & Flourishing Centers
