“We need to develop empathy for machines!”, when I heard this postulate, I faltered in my steps. How about we turn this perspective around and first “stand up to our burdens", as a friend of mine recently put it. We were talking about corporate responsibility and how we can communicate this social responsibility. This would require going to a deeper level of thinking and asking uncomfortable questions. And, yes, that approach is rather on top of my mind too. But, the subordination of attention to externally controlled algorithms means that fewer and fewer citizens are willing to engage with the history of the concepts and causal relationships that shape our social and personal experience. Guys, don't forget, there is a huge treasure of analog knowledge out there and we humans are first and foremost analog humans in a physical reality. So, for only a glance at the long history of "empathy" tells us that "empathy" is a complex assemblage of human judgment and aesthetic imagination. In short, empathy is a "quasi-feeling", a complex mental state that is interwoven with that of another person. Note that “empathy” as a method is aimed at a single person, whereas algorithms and AI systems are aimed at generalized groups (aka filter bubbles). This is already the first major problem with this simple-sounding call to be empathetic with machines. And another, among others: Can we simply transfer our empathic imagination to a robot without human consciousness, and is that even desirable and why? I doubt it, however, but all these deep questions would first have to be discussed and researched. I therefore think it is premature to talk about empathy for machines while we manage the lack of human empathy and conceal the costs of AI farms, blockchain mining, energy hunger and migration caused by global climate extremes and wars. After all, we see how people and societies today are overwhelmed by algorithm-driven attention machines, powerless and frightened in the incessant feeding of short content, unable to distinguish between true and false, analog and synthetic world experiences. Bottom line Before we think of developing empathy for machines, we should be able to rethink and understand how empathy works and how and why we first would need to empower ourselves to be empathetic towards ourselves, other people, living beings and nature. Therefore, I am in favor of first re-learning the concept of "moral empathy". Empathy for robots and machines follows then, maybe, like the cherry on the cake. It tastes best when it's there (at all). #Empathy #Communications #Digitalethics

WILL HUMANS GO ON DOING HUMAN THINGS? While it is true that Generative AI is just another tool in the arsenal of the Homo Technologicus, it is worth noting that it is an extremely powerful and potentially dangerous one. It remains to be seen how well it performs for humanity as a whole, as opposed to for some humans who may possess the means to manipulate it. As we begin to interact with this shiny new tool in earnest, and it methodically proliferates every aspect of our lives: how we live, how we think, how we feel, its ubiquity may erode our own interactive capacities. It could reduce human creativity overall, and erode trust in our own wisdom as individuals and as a society. This could lead to an over-reliance on the technology to do our thinking for us, less verification of the content generated, not too dissimilar from the way we interact with social media tools today. We are human after all. Humans will indeed keep doing human things, great things like curing diseases and increasing the human lifespan, but also horrifying and brutal things like unleashing war and new diseases on unsuspecting populations, all in pursuit of a competitive advantage. In all these scenarios, it is vital we remember, that our humanness is the one factor in AI's inevitable proliferation that we have some control over. Embodied and mindful practices that predate these technologies, can help focus humans on what is most humane about us as a species: our potential for compassion, altruism, and our reflexivity. To actively cultivate these qualities to ensure human sustainability in the near future is crucial for a population interacting with AI, so we can work in tandem with the technology for the benefit of more. #beinghuman , #humansustainability , #homotechnologicus, #mindfulness, #samaltman, #artificialintelligence

Internet, technology, social media, digital media, Web 3, and artificial intelligence have undeniably reshaped the way we live, work, and communicate, they are not substitutes for the essence of humanity. The intricate facets of human intelligence, creativity, empathy, and ethical decision-making are unparalleled and remain fundamental to our existence. Technology should be harnessed to augment human potential, fostering collaboration and innovation, but the unique qualities that define humanity cannot be replicated by machines. #internet #technology #socialmedia #digitalmedia #web3 #ai #artificialintelligence #humans #humanity #humanitarian #empathy #augment #collaboration #emotions

Fresh from an inspiring Generative AI conference, where the power of innovation and technology was front and centre, I couldn't help but reflect on a fundamental truth: amidst the digital revolution, self-care remains as vital as ever.  One of the major messages born from heart attacks and other such personal traumas shared; what resonated deeply with me: the importance of nurturing ourselves in this fast-paced, digital era. In a world where we're constantly connected, where AI can generate incredible insights and ideas, we mustn't forget the essence of human connections and the relationships we build. RESPECT forms the bedrock of these connections, starting with how we regard ourselves and extending to our treatment of others.   So, as we embrace the wisdom of the digital age, let's not lose sight of the timeless principles of SHARE, CARE, and BE FAIR in our relationships. 💖 🌟 SHARE: Share your dreams, your time, your vision, your joys, and even your sorrows. Open your heart and let your authenticity shine. Vulnerability can be a beautiful strength when shared with those who genuinely care. 🌟 CARE: Give the best of yourself to others. Protect the love you've cultivated from those who would seek to diminish it. Make time for one another and nurture the bond that makes your hearts beat in harmony. 🌟 BE FAIR: Honour each other's unique selves, letting them be perfectly who they are. Don't twist them to fit your own image; celebrate their individuality. In this digital age, let's remember that amidst the algorithms and automation, we are here to report for duty with open hearts, ready to respect, share, care, and be fair in our relationships. Let our technological advancements enhance our humanity, rather than overshadow it. Let's strive for relationships built on respect, where we uplift and empower one another to be the best versions of ourselves.  (Post inspired by the Irish Passionist Brian D’Arcy: a real person and not thus not an AI generated post). #SelfCare #DigitalAge #GenerativeAI #Respect #ShareCareBeFair #Authenticity #Vulnerability #EmbraceIndividuality

"...The launch of Digital Marilyn showcases the dual-edged sword of AI in resurrecting famous personalities. It serves as a case study for the ethical debates surrounding digital resurrection, particularly in the entertainment sector, highlighting the urgent need for a balanced discourse. The notion of digital immortality elicits significant apprehensions regarding the security and privacy of information and the potential for data exploitation. It is of paramount importance to safeguard the information that breathes life into these digital personas, prompting us to question who oversees the deceased's digital legacy and the mechanisms in place for its protection. These advances could fundamentally transform our approaches to memory, grief, and concepts of the afterlife, providing new avenues for coping with loss and preserving heritage. However, to deal with the ethical, psychological, and legal dilemmas they cause, we need to think carefully and work together. In a hypothetical future, the creation of digital duplicates could result in the creation of a comprehensive digital representation of our society, thereby signalling the emergence of a parallel realm of collective avatars over generations. This development invites us to reimagine the fabric of social interaction, identity, and community in the new digital age..."

CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION are now the most essential tools for building relationships. With the convergence of AI, the human relationship has never been closer to extinction. My personal mission is to place human relationships in front of AI. Not the other way around. One on one "in real life connection" is essential to our survival as humans in a digital world. #human #web3 #creativity #imagination #newbusinessdevelopment

As we navigate the complexities of modern technology, a new trend has emerged that raises thought-provoking questions about the intersection of artificial intelligence and emotional connections. The article I recently came across delves into the world of creating digital avatars of deceased loved ones using AI technology. It tells the poignant story of Michael Bommer, a man facing terminal illness, who collaborated with an AI company to develop a digital representation of himself for his wife. This innovative approach allows individuals like Michael to leave behind a legacy of memories, knowledge, and experiences in a digital form that can interact with loved ones after their passing. While this AI avatar serves as a repository of a person's voice and stories, it also poses ethical considerations regarding the grieving process and emotional attachments. The article sheds light on the dual perspectives of Michael and his wife, Anett, regarding the AI avatar's role. Anett views it as a tool rather than a substitute for human connection, acknowledging its limitations in replicating warmth and human touch. On the other hand, Michael sees it as an intelligent memoir that can impart his values and wisdom to future generations. The narrative eloquently encapsulates the emotional nuances and ethical dilemmas associated with using AI technology for memorialization. It prompts us to contemplate the boundaries between preserving memories and potentially hindering the natural grieving process. Michael and Anett's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between technological innovation and emotional authenticity.

In this era, where our digital landscapes are as pervasive as the air we breathe, the narrative surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) necessitates a shift beyond the binary of utopian optimism and dystopian dread. This shift becomes acutely essential in times shadowed by increasing manifestations of evil, characterized by tactical power distortions and redundancies, urging us to pivot towards a vision of good. It is imperative, especially now, to embrace a viable vision that offers glimpses of what we stand to lose if we fail to turn towards the good - the actualization of real potentials. This essay aims to unravel AI’s complex story, transcending traditional paradigms by aligning it with qualities often metaphorically feminine – nurturing life, fostering balance, and ensuring continuity. In doing so, it seeks not only to address current problems but to project a future where AI serves as a beacon of hope, steering us towards a reality where technology, in harmony with human and environmental co-evolution, mirrors our deepest aspirations for a symbiotic existence. ©️ #AIRevolution #FutureOfTech #GaiaMythos #KnowWhyOfAI #TechPhilosophy #EthicalAI #Sapiognosis #Sapiocracy #SustainableTech #DigitalEvolution #AISociety #InnovativeThinking
