This Moment in AI: How We Got Here and Where We’re Going

Your Undivided Attention

NOTE

Embrace the Rise of AI in the Attention Economy

A culture inundated with non-human generated data risks human control over content and information. Social media exemplifies this, as algorithms dictate what users see, shaping democratic discourses while remaining integral to economic value. As AI begins to excel in creating engaging content that outpaces human contributions, it will dominate the attention economy, rendering human-made content less competitive. This shift does not imply AI-generated content holds greater intrinsic value, but rather it is more adept at attracting attention. Humans may still engage with artisanal, offline art forms, yet AI's ability to generate viral content poses significant challenges to human agency in cultural production.
