Bot smiles while juggling Earth? Is that inevitably what is coming?
The irony of the AI Do Good Awards is that the true way to make AI Do Good is for people who make AI, to do good. And then of course for those who use the AI tools to do good.
Plus, as human beings we have a personal and innate super power that bots do not. We are able to to “Make a Community”.
Hence this is why juxtaposed with the “AI Do Good Awards” is the “Make a Community Awards.” Watch for a list for each awards coming on New Year’s Eve 2023 as we move into 2024.
I had a long conversation with a friend yesterday that got me thinking about some of the ideas I have shared in this website over the years.
As you may know, the new focus of this site is to provide insights into what is involved with the process to “Make a Community” whereas the founding concept of it had to do with hope and wondering what it would take to change the world for the good of all.
For years my perception and hope for the world was based on trying to look at the “the world as it is” versus “the world we want it to be.”
I thought that the way we as human beings could possibly change the the world for the better, might have something to do with confronting what was wrong with it?
My belief was that you could maybe take it on, a bit at a time, and bring about tiny solutions, increment by increment?
That is one approach.
But is it a fundamentally different way to go about things, to pursue a positive outcome by reversing the order?
Meaning specifically, what would happen if rather than looking at it as “the world as it is versus the world we want it to be” to instead while moving forward to view the journey as “the world we want it to be, while seeing the world as it is?”
Humanity wins as long as the humans who create the technology for people, have their best interest at heart. But history in related contexts shows that is not always the case. Hence, as idealistic as it might sound, we all need to be a part of the solution.
Bot smiles while juggling Earth? Or do each of us in our own way participate in building toward a win for humanity and Make a Community?
