I spent the last few days with some amazing, wonderful, brilliant people in Boulder, Colorado. I invited a number of people to share their perspectives from the stage, people who I felt like would be excellent guides for our community as we try to understand where this new technology is taking us and how each of us can best be involved in creating pro-human AI products.
As I make my way towards Moab, Zion, the Grand Canyon for inspiration from nature, and then Los Angeles and San Francisco to prepare for next year’s events on AI product design innovation, I will be considering their words and their direction. I will also be considering the intensive brainstorming on the AI Humanifesto.
For me, one of the most important words that came up several times over the past few days was Balance, how to balance the advantages and the explorations into AI with the needs of humanity, human thriving, and self-optimization. I think that nature holds some clues as to what that balance could look like if AI is to serve us well rather than vice versa. I will be posting some of the photos and thoughts along those lines over the next few days.
Before I move on I want to give a big thank you and shout-out to the people who made the last few days so incredible:
