AI Brainstorm Creator and CHEER Foster Global Emotional Well-being Through AI-Assisted Social Media Experiments

Two NGOs, AI Brainstorm Creator and CHEER (Core Human Experiences Evoked Regularly), have initiated one of the world's largest AI-assisted social media experiments. Utilizing online videoconferencing, the project aims to induce emotional states such as Wonder, Laughter, Compassion, Group Mind Mapping, and a mini-Hero's Journey among study participants. According to CIO Amy Chang, the initiative seeks to explore and refine peak emotional experiences, with the goal of transforming social media and AI into tools that contribute positively to psychological well-being.

The project's protocols draw from a wide range of sources, including Gestalt Therapy, the 10 Bhumis of Mahayana Buddhism, Jungian Shadow work, Stoic philosophy, Neurodynamic Breathwork, the latest Generative AI, and practices of neolithic tribes like the Hadzabe of Tanzania, the Tau't Batu people of the Philippines, and the Yanomami from the Brazilian Amazon.

Each day, study participants engage in new experiments to explore innovative ways to connect with their passions. John Toomey, Director of Innovation, notes that the experience never gets old because sharing sublime emotional experiences helps everyone thrive. Education Director Savithri Patel highlights that the ability to train our brains to attain peak states customized to each individual represents a new frontier for humanity, enabling better global cooperation to address tough challenges.

The current fifth cohort's ventures include:

GRATITUDE: Participants in 33 countries celebrate by watching live streams of the first moments between mothers and their newborns at the largest maternity hospital in the Philippines, where a baby is born every 12 minutes.

BRAINSTORMING: AI-assisted group mind mapping sessions occur during Zoom calls using generateideas.ai. Participants create 170 mind maps for each of the UN's sub-targets within the 17 Agenda for Sustainability Goals, with actionable solutions being a beneficial side effect.

AWE: Hundreds of wonder-inspiring online experiences are examined monthly, with the best being 'upvoted' like posts on Reddit. Consistent winners include explore.org, the James Webb Space Telescope, and zoomquilt2.com.

LAUGHTER: Participants join laughter yoga club meetings on Zoom or Skype in 31 different countries, facilitated by laughteryoga.org.

HERO'S JOURNEY: In partnership with underground schools for girls in Afghanistan, participants use Leonardo.ai to create modernized images of ancient Afghan heroines who contend in a virtual poetry competition.

Toomey remarks that engaging in these projects makes the question of life's purpose fade away, as participants contribute to global masterpieces of laughter, awe, heroism, brainstorming, and gratitude. When a new mother gazes at her infant for the first time, she embodies this sense of purpose fully.
