Adapting To The Times

If you think back generationally, to your parents and their parents. You know that times were very different back then. The wheel always turns and generationally speaking it’s about what you do in ‘the’ moment of your ‘own’ life. We can get inspired or celebrate what’s come before, but it’s also important that we approach life from the point of the here and now and what the reality is now.

Whether that’s through who we are or the kind of work we do. We all have our say in our own way and sometimes we can blink and miss what’s truly important to make our own impact. But also, adapting with the times is something we need to do. AI is going to have a massive impact on the future of economic activity around the world. In a way, we have to find ways to protect that, but also, we also have to look at alternative ways in which people can actually impact the lives of others. The internet is going to be a big part of our futures and even more so for the next generations.

It’s also about how we limit that damage and how we stabilize those affected by AI. There is a reality here, and that reality is that we need to strike a balance that allows human creativity to flourish in this digital age. There is untapped potential. Instead of looking at something like YouTube with envy, we need to look at it as an opportunity just how they have done. Our sense of self and our own creative prowess. Because ‘we’re the originals’, so to speak, and if there is one thing that life has shown me we’re all good at something.

Our need to utilise that and adapt hasn’t been more important. But also, protecting the rights of our own humanity. That’s something that right now might sound kind of out there. However, in the future, there might actually be a point to it. Because we never truly know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Everyday, we’re seeing the benefits of AI, but it’s also important to realize the risks in which we’re putting ourselves in. It’s important that we protect the generations of today but also the generations of tommorow. That we are forward thinking in our approach to the effects that it will have on us all. That politically, we do everything in our power to protect ourselves and businesses from any impact it may have.

Nobody can predict the future, however we can be forward thinking on our approach to it. That’s our duty, to assess, and to perceive, the dangers we may face. If that also means putting protective legislation in place that might be a stab in the back to corporate entities that do not understand that. It’s the risk and balancing act we have to enact.

This is simply not something we endure now and worry about later. It’s far more important than that and attitudes need to align to take all into consideration of that.
