Let's face it. Everything we do, everything, will be changed by AI. From the big things about what life on this planet will be like to the little things about what life will be like on this planet, nothing is immune from the changes that AI will bring. there is no.
Since I recognized and declared nine years ago that AI would be the biggest, most fundamental change humanity has ever seen, I have seen the response to that statement change as well. .
Initially, it was pure ignorance (“AI. What is it?”), and the few people who knew a thing or two knew nothing more. Chat GPT had not yet changed that through common usage.
Slowly, ignorance receded and light began to reach the earth, but it was not enough. Innovators were working on it, but only in a select few. On top of that, knowledge of AI and awareness of what it can do was still a mile wide and an inch deep. We were still in the giddy term paper writing camp and also the fear of unemployment.
From there we moved into the early adoption phase, and that's when there was a growing consensus that this was bigger than most people had originally thought.
We are still in the early stages of adaptation, but we are moving at warp speed. So more and more people are now navigating more than a mile wide and an inch deep.
And it goes to my early prophecy that this is the greatest development that has ever happened to us, by us, for us, because of us, or perhaps in spite of us. i will be back.
Now you're ready to handle AI at scale. In this essay, we will focus on his five key elements of civilization that we must address or relinquish our position as stewards of. I would like to ask one overarching question for each element. I believe this is unavoidable if we are interested in moving forward positively, constructively, safely and collaboratively.
ethics
When will we elevate our thinking and discourse and finally establish metaethical considerations not only as meaningful but as a prerequisite?
genetic science
So, on a meta-ethical level, will we be regulating an already rapidly evolving genetic science so that we can glorify life without usurping or competing with it?
innovation and invention
If we allow AI to take over the process of discovery and invention, albeit one that relies on observation and intuition, in the very long term it will hinder our uniquely human drive to reimagine our future. Or?
learning and education
Both high-tech and high-touch are most needed in this field, but where do you draw the line between the two?
privacy
Does privacy even exist? And were you expecting a more complex question here?
