Me:chine Age is the Mess Age
You are machinable. You are unmachinable.
Captured. Yet uncapturable.
The synthesis of both describes identity in the post-AI world.
Me:chine.
It’s a Philosophy: Me:chine names the synthesis of what machines can capture and what they never can.
It’s also a Practice: Me:chine gives you tools, rituals, and ways of being to live that synthesis every day.
The Me:chine is my name for the new condition of being human in a synthetic age, where we live as hybrids, part human, part system.
Part machinable, part unmachinable.
These are my own terms, concepts I’ve developed to describe the split we’re all now living through. But also the synthesis.
It’s how we stay human in a world increasingly shaped by code: consciousness first, augmentation second.
The machinable is everything about us that can be measured, modelled, and predicted: our data trails, routines, and digital selves.
The unmachinable is everything that can’t be captured: our intuition, imagination, and mystery.
Me:chine is the synthesis of the two..
We’ve entered a new era where artificial intelligence doesn’t just change our work — it changes our selves. In this signature keynote, Tracey Follows introduces her original framework of the machinable and unmachinable, revealing how identity is being rewritten in the post-AI world. Her concept of The Me:chine — the synthesis of what machines can capture and what they never can — offers both a philosophy and a practice for staying human, intuitive, and sovereign in the synthetic age. A powerful, provocative guide for anyone navigating technology’s deepest transformation yet: the remaking of identity itself.
A powerful and provocative keynote on how to stay human in the age of AI.
