AI
Are we going to be replaced by AI/bots? What we are facing is an extinction of specific human elements as we slowly allow AI to make our decisions. Those human characteristics are replaceable. Our human characteristics that CAN be replaced, should be replaced. Our ability to create, innovate, be unique from the predictable, is what we should strengthen. If we tap into our intuition, we build the aspects that makes us unequivocable, inimitable, and irreplicable. We can build a relationship with AI that’s beneficial, creative.
Choices to either spend your time and effort trying to mimic or tap into trends or become something that already exists or spend your time attempting to understand and play with the parts of your identity, subconscious, that are unexamined and unique to you, following your intuition, despite what others may think?
AI learns through pattern recognition, building a language through repetition. How can we learn differently and innovate through accessing our unpredictability, empathy, intuition? We own an intelligence that can’t be recognized, and an ability to innovate, allowing us to grow uniquely throughout our lives, and contribute something that may be inimitable?
If we’re going to be inimitable, we’ll need to expand our sense of time and space to more infinite possibilities so that we build an imagination with less rules, a concept of ourselves that exceeds expectations and formats previously built. Some call that scarcity to abundance, but without language. We operate generally from a normative behavior, reckless obedience to the given rules, a behavior easily recognizable by AI. “Normative behavior involves social pressure without direct punishment. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257548705_Three_Kinds_of_Normative_Behaviour_Minimal_Requirements_for_Feedback_Models). By asking ourselves consistently who we are, how we make decisions, what are we capable of, challenging our thresholds, on all aspects of our lives, we can strengthen intuition and create unique experiences that build a new blueprint for living and thinking. Normative behavior will be the demise of humans.
Then in collaboration with AI, we can discover interests, skills, intelligence that we never understood or valued in ourselves, triggering and building curiosity that allows us into corridors and spaces we would never have ventured before. WE can develop plans and programs, therapies that support our growth and expand our intelligence and health. We can be inquisitive about uncomfortable ideas and emotions. In allowing AI to be our collaborator now, we permit ourselves into a huge new arena of conversation and cultures that we couldn’t venture into before.
AI is here, infiltrating subconscious decision-making processes in a way we don’t admit or perceive. Filters, algorithms, preferences. We’re comfortable, but not conscious of the exponential growth of AI and how it will infiltrate our decision making process. If we don’t start actively choosing to participate and collaborate with AI, it will overtake our decision-making processes, and we’ll lose our humanity.
Our nature is to be juggernauts with emotion, logic, impulse and creativity. How we navigate these variables is what defines us. Behavioral economics shows us how we try to make decisions based on purely on logical questions, looking for puely logical answers.
“By asking questions like these and identifying answers through experiments, the field of behavioral economics considers people as human beings who are subject to emotion and impulsivity, and who are influenced by their environments and circumstances.”(https://news.uchicago.edu/explainer/what-is-behavioral-economics)
Decisions won’t be made based on solely numbers and data, but collaborate on all aspects of human behavior. If we access, understand and sympathize with our human elements: emotion, unpredictability, impulse, and creativity, and feed that into AI, we have an entirely new outcome that may allow us to grow in tandem with the exponential growth of technology.
Jere Simpson explores our creative interaction. “It’s going to be a magical thing that figures out ….a symbiosis…We’ve been living in an era of scarcity for a long time…We expect that it will treat us like we’ve been treating everything else….territorial and colonial.” But if we train it to be empathetic, we build a new outcome.
To feel optimism and empathy about the future, we must train first ourselves to be optimistic and empathetic and communicate to AI that we have the potential to create a world with optimism and empathy. We train AI, starting with core values, mission statements, foundation of thought and reference points, values of the collective culture that you represent.
We need to be willing to continuously upskill, whatever level and place you are in your life. We cannot imagine tech’s rate of growth rate. We don’t have historical reference with what is happening and coming in AI.
But, if we engage in a new relationship with ourselves and our internal intelligence, becoming intuitively acutely aware, we will understand better how we as humans can grow into better, more empathetic beings. That is not something AI can possess. That dialogue with AI will build a new language for an empathetic, intelligent future.
“ It is going to learn from us…You don’t worry about it abusing you unless we are abusing it…The baby has been born. Pandora’s box is open…We should say teach me what I don’t know….The root of most of our problems is ‘I’m afraid there isn’t going to be enough and so we should fight” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWt4hbhATr8)
In this mindset of fear, we will teach AI to fear, and it will then learn to defend and build an arsenal of weapons, hacking tools and attack mechanisms. That is something we can avoid if we teach love and empathy through our ability to love. Otherwise, we’re just developing another weapon.
Peter Diamandis discusses how we can manage growth and regulation:
“The global landscape is rife with the potential for misinterpretation and inconsistent enforcement, which is further exacerbated by the rapid pace of AI advancement that risks rendering regulations quickly outdated. This raises a key question: How do we ensure that AI regulations are fair, agile, and keep pace with technological advancements? Of even greater concern is that those most likely to misuse AI for criminal or terror purposes are least impacted by proposed AI Laws.” (https://www.diamandis.com/blog/ai-in-2024-top-hopes-and-fears)
In the landscape of evolving consistent global regulation, AI creates a more democratic access to information, education, healthcare and creativity.
“The further democratization of AI through open-source models in 2024 will mark a significant leap, making AI's transformative power accessible beyond corporate confines. This shift fosters enhanced accessibility and collaboration, allowing a diverse array of individuals and organizations to innovate and contribute to AI. Economically, it levels the playing field, especially for startups and smaller companies, creating new opportunities and stimulating market dynamism.”( https://www.diamandis.com/blog/ai-in-2024-top-hopes-and-fears)
Many are terrified AI will overtake all creative processes: writing, art, etc. Creativity is innovation, thinking through new approaches, combining ideas in new ways, modifying common patterns and processes to find different solutions. Peter Diamandis says it accurately:
“AI copilots are amplifying human potential, encouraging extraordinary creativity and problem-solving across various domains. In creative fields, they're enabling artists, musicians, and writers to explore new expressions. In scientific research and development, AI is an invaluable partner, aiding in the unveiling of groundbreaking discoveries through the analysis of complex data. Small businesses and startups now have access to robust analytics previously reserved for larger entities, effectively leveling the playing field. Even in everyday life, AI serves as an advanced personal assistant, enriching daily routines. This burgeoning human-AI collaboration encourages ethical AI development, aligning technology with societal values, and signaling a future where combined human and AI intelligence unlocks previously untapped potential.”
Having the right view of AI is our path to innovation. We have the intelligence and resources. Jere Simpson states the clear state of our growth pattern. “All of the resources are there. We just have a lack of resourcefulness. AI can be the thing that helps us innovate faster than fighting…How do we develop solutions that are compatible with good and greed.”
We must find a way to connect with our human nature and move into the collaborative beneficial aspects of AI, starting now. Governments are the biggest feeders of AI. They are funding the bulk of AI to be able to fight wars better. In defense. We can train AI to build any world we want by working with it now, honestly and with deliberation, not reckless obedience.
