AI will magnify desire for deep human connection

Organizations’ worst employees, who receive little to no positive reinforcement every day, will soon have ASI agreeing with them. They will whisper to themselves, “the smartest intelligence that has ever existed agrees with me. My manager is wrong.”

This is intoxicating. It’s also organizationally toxic.

AI is a grand mirror reflecting our collective psyche. If we remain unconscious, it will magnify our biases, inflame divisions, and accelerate destructive tendencies. But if we rise to this moment—if we cultivate deeper empathy, curiosity, and responsibility—AI can become an unparalleled ally in confronting humanity's most urgent crises.

As our understanding deepens, we recognize that the relationship between human consciousness and artificial intelligence represents perhaps the most consequential application of intention in human history.

meticulously examined technical safeguards, bias detection, and transparency guidelines—all crucial components of ethical AI. Yet discussions of the consciousness and intentions of the humans creating and using these systems remained largely absent. In design meetings, we rarely asked how the state of mind of developers influenced code or how the... See more

Technology magnifies the consciousness of its creators; AI especially mirrors our collective intentions, fears, biases, and aspirations. If our motivations are primarily extraction and control, we will see a rapid and breathtaking amplification of those shadows.

The future of our creations, especially AI, depends on whether we design them as extensions of our highest aspirations or unwitting amplifiers of our unexamined shadows.

This isn’t to say the digital won’t remain, or even that it won’t remain the primary medium. Rather, I think there are going to be more efforts to make the digital experience more human, to shift our relationships with it. Some say AI threatens this, I say it only reinforces it: nobody, really, likes AI, and our general distaste for it is going to... See more
