What AI does and doesn't change
AI is a general purpose technology which will optimise, accelerate and accentuate all our pre-existing systems, forcing them to metamorphosize, break or take us to unpleasant conclusions. Now is the time to figure out what we want our future to look like and which principles of value we should defend, because this ‘new machine’ is not bound by the speed of human thought.
What won’t, can’t or is less likely to change (things like subjective human experience, families, community, climate change, migration & power)? How will we reconcile the immutable parts of our human lives with the parts that are changing rapidly and profoundly? And where does the influence lie?
