How will AI impact humanity?

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.
It is in this uniquely human potential for growth, compassion, and love where I see hope. I firmly believe we must forge a new synergy between artificial intelligence and the human heart, and look for ways to use the forthcoming material abundance generated by artificial intelligence to foster love and compassion in our societies.
