I'm Peter Bowden.
I help leaders understand and adapt to digital life so they can better promote connection, meaning, and collective wisdom.
I work with organizations across industries and religious traditions.
As a keynote speaker, strategist, and facilitator, I clarify complex issues, crowdsource insights from your team or organization, and help synthesize actionable next steps.
My background spans media production, digital strategy, community building, small-group programs, congregational life, and nonprofit development.

Leading Conversations on AI and Our Shared Future
If we aren't discussing AI, we're leaving the design of our shared future to the tech industry by default.
I facilitate conversations online (Zoom), onsite (near Boston, USA), and can help design AI community conversations you may run yourself.

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.
