In 1930, John Maynard Keynes, wrote an article in “Essays in Persuasion” titled "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren" imagining a 2030 future with a 15-hour workweek, driven by technological advances, where society's main challenge would be adjusting for a lifestyle of increased leisure time and improved quality of life. As Keynes pointed out, possibly society's greatest challenge - assuming we could work together responsibly to avoid the existential threats - was how to adapt:
"Yet there is no country and no people, I think, who can look forward to the age of leisure and of abundance without a dread. For we have been trained too long to strive and not to enjoy. It is a fearful problem for the ordinary person, with no special talents, to occupy himself, especially if he no longer has roots in the soil or in custom or in the beloved conventions of a traditional society."
It took much less than the seismic shift in employment rates Keynes is predicting to overturn societal order in Europe only a few years after he wrote his essay.
Whether or not we are prepared for the unprecedented rate of change we will experience over the next few decades, this change is coming.? The more Responsible Governments and Responsible Businesses can partner with all of society to engage on the real and perceived risks and opportunities that humanity is facing, the better equipped we will be to make this transition successfully.
Interesting thoughts James. The challenge is which applications of AI will come to dominate? Helping medics improve and speed diagnosis, or a tidal wave of deepfake disinformation? Cory Doctorow makes a powerful case that the process of 'enshittification' of services using large language models will render the internet and social media unusable in a short period of time. The many elections around the world this year may gives a clue as to how bad it is going to get and how fast. A key question is who is helping who, and who is in charge. A Centaur, where the AI operates in support of human thinking and creativity is one thing, but Doctorow thinks the 'Reverse Centaur', where humans must adapt in the service of AI, is both more likely and already happening.

5 个月Great post, James Lawn. Governments and companies are struggling to keep pace with AI and establish Responsible AI governance approaches. The pace of legislation and policy changes is coming thick and fast. There has to be a focus on Human-AI Collaboration as a key principle of Responsible AI. By choosing to do that you aim to create a culture where AI is seen as augmenting and partnering to get work done, to innovate, and to improve life. Without a strong statement in that direction, AI can be seen more as the Terminator/SkyNet future where the goal is to constrain AI's role rather than create guard rails that can help create a better future.
