Degenerative AI

For AI to be regenerative, it must enable us to generate and preserve real wealth. It must promote and sustain community wellbeing, fairness, and sustainability, the fundamental values of the generative economy, and it must do so by design, through its normal functioning, and not as a regulatory compliance exercise or CSR/ESG afterthought.

Week notes: 17 July 2023

It may be wishful thinking to hope that AI will simply slot in to our current toolsets, making us more efficient at work. Even the current beta tools enable an order of magnitude increase in efficiency. Skill in doing a single thing will simply have no value. Instead, we will need skills in ‘multilearning’, or the ability to learn and deploy new knowledge and skills quickly. Very quickly.
