Artificial Intelligence is not a separate entity from us, but a reflection of us.

If we nurture it with holistic perspectives, ethical values and expertise, we can enrich our own understanding and positively impact everyone.

When people ask the question of what a meaningful existence consists of, I feel that the question is too ambiguous to give a simple answer, so I would reframe the question. What would people like to do if exchanging time for money wasn't the primary driving force in their lives?

More often than not people share their desires around volunteering for social good causes, starting their own businesses, pursuing creative passions, solving global issues, humanitarian aid, supporting the community, and spending more time with their loved ones. It's not as complex as predefining meaning. "Meaningfulness" is simply what we can give meaning to, and as human beings, we can give meaning to most things. What we find meaningful is what we choose to do.

The current challenge is not having enough opportunities to choose how to spend our time and for 'humans to human'. In a world underpinned by AI, the pursuit of meaning stops becoming a thought experiment and starts to simply become 'living meaningfully'.

The AI revolution brings forth a fascinating concept: streaming intelligence. Just as we currently stream our favorite shows and movies, it is not far-fetched to imagine a future where we can stream intelligence itself.

Frequently, I am asked about the best approach to prepare both young people and the current workforce for a future within the digital landscape. It's essential to recognize that industrial systems tend to operate in a mechanistic and linear fashion, but humans do not. The traditional industrial complex relies on supply and demand, necessitating the "assembly" of individuals to maintain operations. In contrast, a digital complex has the potential to be more humane by embracing human diversity and vulnerability while evolving to focus on people's unique needs and abilities.

Our technological capabilities will not erode our intelligence but are instead the catalyst to evolve our intelligence to find meaningful pursuits to participate in a digital world. We need to develop socio-economic models alongside technological advancements to transition into the digital revolution.

You can't solve tomorrow's challenges using today's thinking.

To truly harness and amplify the power of our digital capabilities, it is crucial to undergo the process of relinquishing familiar knowledge and embracing the uncertain realm of limitless possibilities.

Above all, the most invaluable asset at our disposal remains, as it has always been, that of human potential.

Many believe that technical ability is the sole determinant of success with AI tools, but I reject this notion. Effective communication is the key to unlocking AI's full potential, as the quality of the generated response depends heavily on how you articulate your intentions.

In a world underpinned by AI, the ability to communicate, explain & educate remains among the most valuable skills someone can possess.

The rapid advancement of AI technology poses a threat to jobs that were once thought to be safe from automation. While AI has the potential to enhance productivity, it could also lead to economic and social crises if workers are unable to adapt in time.

It's important to find a balance between utilizing AI for its benefits while also ensuring that humans are not left behind in the process.

The current state of AI technology is predominantly centered around centralization, where all data is co-located. A neural network's learning is strengthened by the learning of each node. However, there are decentralized alternatives. In healthcare, federated learning systems are gaining momentum as a means of training AI models while keeping privacy intact. This is a step towards less centralized AI alternatives or even fully decentralized ones. I believe that decentralized AI systems will increasingly become a reality.

At the end of the day, centralized and decentralized methods don't necessarily achieve different outcomes, they mainly redistribute power in the process of achieving that outcome. Because the same output can often be achieved through each system I am confident that there will be decentralized alternatives. AI is a tool that is shaped and utilized by humans. The true power of AI lies in the hands of those who wield it and determine its purpose, we will decide which socio-economic-political systems reinforces. Ultimately, the impact of AI depends on how we choose to shape it.

Our goal should be more than just accommodating diverse abilities; when we tailor experiences to individual preferences, we're not just making adjustments for marginalization, we're actively eliminating it.

Shifting from 'disability' to 'disablement' means focusing less on "fixing" individuals, and more on fixing the environment.

In this digital era, identity should not be a privilege but a right. From my perspective, this one of the most meaningful aspects about decentalized technologies, We're empowering individuals to take control of their identities, redefining what personal freedom means in the 21st century.
