You’re in a powerful position right now.
We all are.
Computers have extended our intelligence and simplified the way we do things but the way that deep learning is developing exponentially, it’s easy to be fearful of where things are heading.
But remember that even with great intelligence, AI has no will of its own. It relies on our principles and values. We’re teaching it.
Are we teaching AI that we’re kind, compassionate and respectful?
Virtual assistants and chatbots are already being embraced by leaders to communicate and engage with employees more efficiently. What are we communicating and what tone are we using?
What are we teaching AI about our values and what we find valuable?
Access and insight into data are available like never before, empowering leaders to make informed strategic decisions in a fraction of the time. What do these decisions say about what we hold dear and what we choose to discard? Will the machine understand that the numbers it is crunching are human lives?
In the end, it comes down to each and every one of us – whether we have responsibility for two people or two hundred thousand.
If we want AI to be good to us, then we have to teach it that we’re good to each other.
Have a great day.
