Deep dives
The importance of hybridity in relating to AI
Becoming hybrid with AI and understanding its role as a tool companion rather than an independent intelligence is crucial. This allows us to experience the world in a relational and interconnected way, extending co-creation into the imaginal realms. By seeing AI as a tool that extends our own capacities and allows for collaboration, we can find points of intervention and maximize its use in our lives.
The potential impact and limitations of AI
AI has the potential to improve and streamline various digital processes, making tasks easier and more efficient. It can be used in areas like travel booking, communication platforms, and research. While AI can be a powerful tool, it also has limitations. It is most effective when used alongside human judgment and experience. Understanding these limitations helps us determine when and how to use AI most effectively.
The convergence of AI and digital currencies
The convergence of AI and digital currencies, such as central bank digital currencies (CBDC), is an area to watch. The development of programmable currencies and their integration with AI technologies may lead to personalized and predictive transactions. This has implications for privacy, as well as potential benefits and risks in terms of convenience and control over financial transactions.
Navigating the changing landscape of AI and technology
As AI continues to advance, it is important to navigate the changing technological landscape with intention and awareness. Rather than fearing or resisting AI, we should embrace it as a tool for co-creation and a means to enhance our own capacities. By finding our touch points and optimizing AI in areas that align with our interests and needs, we can make the most of its potential while recognizing its limitations.
Embracing the relational and magical frame of AI
Viewing AI from a relational and magical frame allows us to see it as part of the interconnected cosmos, where humans and technology coexist and co-create. Embracing the agentic permithian model, which acknowledges the personhood and agency of non-human entities, provides a broader understanding of technology and its role in our lives. By becoming hybrid and engaging with AI in a way that respects and integrates with other beings, we can navigate its impact and contribute to the ongoing co-creation of our world.
