Generative AI is everywhere, and societies worldwide are grappling with what it is, what it's becoming, and what that means for humanity. In this episode of Ecosystemic Futures, our hosts connect with Pascal Finette, Co-founder of Be Radical, to discuss this shift, and the many options to leverage emerging technological capabilities like generative AI, large language models and more as our 'trusted co-pilots' in work and life.  Can we trust them though?  With disruptive technologies like generative AI reaching a pivotal moment where they now touch the lives, workstreams and social feeds of many who may not yet understand the implications of that interface - the potential for unintended or harmful outcomes can accelerate dramatically. On the side of positive outcomes - research and learning functions that may have taken hours or days in the past, pouring over vast amounts of structured and unstructured data - can now be synthesized by technology in minutes, enabling the human co-pilots to spend more time with strategic and creative work. Accelerating innovation and solution pathways. The difference? Ecosystemic resilience. Designing for resilience, adaptability, and beneficial outcomes within and across complex, interconnected systems in society, industry, and policy. And maintaining a position of constant sensing, sensemaking, discernment, and thoughtful action in these complex, dynamic environments. Join us for another great discussion from the Ecosystemic Futures community.
