Artificial Intelligence

AI today has been reduced to a chatbot. The biggest problems in the world are physical, not digital.

AI is aggregated human intelligence. So it’s better to call it collective intelligence than artificial intelligence.

Emphasizing the collectivity (something built on the commons) over the artificiality (a feat of technology) gives us an entire new way to see, perceive and relate to the technology.

Everyone freaks out, and they interpret the statement, ‘AI will affect my job’ as ‘AI will do my job for me.’

Those two things are not the same, because AI can be a tool or substitute. Just because the job may change doesn’t mean that the job will be eliminated.

“In other words, workers who were used to doing things a certain way struggled to adapt when complementary technology arrived, while less-experienced workers could harness the power of these new tools.”
