Training Humans to Be Better in the Age of AI

Esther Dyson's essay argues that instead of worrying about AI taking jobs, people should focus on training themselves to be better humans. Understanding the fundamental difference between humans and AI, we should embrace AI as a tool to automate routine tasks and use the time and money saved for more meaningful work. This includes training children to be emotionally secure, think long-term, and understand their own motivations and those of others. Frontline trainers, such as parents and educators, play a crucial role in raising resilient and curious children. Programs like the Nurse Family Partnership illustrate the benefits of investing in early childhood training. Esther suggests leaning on the private sector's training efforts, reframing spending on healthcare and social support as investing in people, and using AI to demonstrate the value of training.
