Before AI takes our crown as the most intelligent creatures in the near future, we must still make one intelligence decision: clearly realise where things are going and what it means for us.
This is great, I am also surprised by how many clever folks are stuck on “it’s just hype”. So much potential to reinvent entire industries and create new products and services
Well, the price for acknowledging that it's not just hype is a big professional shock: now I'm not a experienced senior person who understand things deeply, but now I need to figure out things like I did in my twenties, except that I'm still in my forties or fifties. It's still the right thing to do, but psychologically it must be as hard as changing careers into something completely new.
Everyone needs to be familiar with the Blockbuster vs Netflix case study. It’s almost more of parable than a case study! I think that AI is going to require more employees than it displaces because it is effectively employing a hugely more abundant supply of intelligence rather than a fixed pool of it 😎
