Social Media and the Internet have catalyzed an unprecedented potential for exposure to human diversity in terms of demographics, talents, opinions, knowledge, and the like. However, this potential has not come with new, much-needed, instruments and skills to harness it. This paper presents our work on promoting richer and deeper social relations through the design and development of the "Internet of Us", an online platform that uses diversity-aware Artificial Intelligence to mediate and empower human social interactions. We discuss the multiple facets of diversity in social settings, the multidisciplinary work that is required to reap the benefits of diversity, and the vision for a diversity-aware hybrid human-AI society.
