AI Challenges Us To Become More Deeply Human

Bernard Marr writing for Forbes:

As these intelligent systems take over routine and repetitive tasks, they challenge us to delve deeper into what makes us uniquely human: our creativity, empathy, and the ability to navigate complex social dynamics. Let’s explore why the rise of AI might actually be the best thing to push humanity towards realizing its full potential. … The question now is not whether AI will replace many of the tasks we currently do—it will—but what we do with the immense potential unleashed when this happens. As we delegate the routine to machines, we must cultivate our distinctly human abilities to engage, inspire, and innovate. - Why AI Challenges Us To Become More Human

Large scale technology disruption, such as that brought about by AI, is always controversial. Each leap forward challenges us to return to the ancient dictum from Socrates, to examine our life and test if it’s worth living, to become more intentional, more deeply human.

“AI doesn’t just challenge us to be more human; it demands it.” - Bernard Marr
