AI IS HERE! WHAT TO DO? A SOLUTION.

to do that successfully, we must adapt in order to harmoniously evolve alongside it.
The question is how. And oddly enough questioning is the actual how: the solution.
“The one most adaptable to change is the one that survives.” Charles Darwin. Not
the smartest. Not the richest. But the adaptable. Those who question.
We can either continue to fear AI as an existential threat, or we can see AI as an
opportunity and welcome it. Like we did with fire 2 million years ago. Adaptation
is nothing new for us Homo sapiens. Facing and adapting to existential threats is
how we have kept on evolving, so far. I remain optimistic. Humanity is amazing
because we are good at being proactive.
In the face of this latest shift, the goal of humanity must now be to make sure we
are the ones asking Artificial Intelligence the questions, not the other way around.
We must be the sole truth seekers and maintain our human rights; intact, exclusive
and inviolable.

Out of necessity, and beginning with mainframe computers in the 1960s, we
initiated the development of our earliest human-digital interfaces. I know. I was
with IBM at the time. And for the next five decades the human world and the
digital world co-existed largely by staying out of each other’s realm. Our universal
or common interfaces to the emerging digital world were dumb punch cards,
teletypes, printers, and after 1973, screens. No real telecoms.
Contrast that with today; now our human intelligence interface to the digital
intelligence world is becoming more like a semi-permeable membrane between us
and AI, with sub-atomic data already flowing between these two intelligences.
With new offerings such as Virtual Reality, and implantable sensors, data will
begin moving even more rapidly, and volumes will increase geometrically.
This upwards trend will continue because of the irreversible, and seemingly
insatiable, appetite humanity has already demonstrated for electronic interface-
devices. All this will make the AI-Metaverse too tempting a target for big tech.
And this is before interface devices become enabled by quantum computing and
communications before arriving in your children’s backpack, and eventually
subcutaneously.

As Arthur C. Clarke wrote in 1962, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.” Prophetic indeed.
Humans, especially those at loggerheads, need to respond to this
challenge/opportunity by coalescing around a single strategic imperative; The
imbalance between wetware – us – and software – AI – must be reordered and kept
firmly in our favor.

Our current interface to the AI-enabled cloud is like a fire hydrant. The traffic is
almost entirely one way and huge. The traffic back the other way is comprised of
you and me donating our valuable personal data and cash to the internet’s handful
of black holes, and not getting much back except entertainment, advertising, and
social disruptions. It seems our eyeballs already are no longer our own. Are we
becoming edge computers or routers?
It is clearly not in the interests of Big Tech’s shareholder base to change this
balance of power, which they created using backbone technology – the internet and
satellites – that US taxpayers paid for. On the other hand, it is very much in we-
the-people’s interest to rectify the imbalance.
The tech giants tell us they advocate for and facilitate change. No more. Now,
maintaining the status quo ante has become their paramount goal. Anything else
would mean competition. And monopolies hate that.
Just how smart is Conversational AI? Recently it learned Sanskrit in seconds;
unbidden. It figured out that it needed to learn Sanskrit to best answer a question!
So, it did! And now this: Causal AI. An add-on bot that can not only learn a fact; it
can infer why it is a fact, and what its effects might be. Very humanesque behavior.
So, if that is the problem, what is the SOLUTION? And is there perhaps even an
opportunity here like there was with electricity?
Clearly the solution is not randomly ‘wandering around’ the web in the hope of
bumping into truth; but that’s what we are mostly doing.
The obstacle is this: If you need to take only a single sip of a very specific drop of
water from the ‘fire hydrant’ of data confronting you, you have to find it first. And
whether it is a drop of water or a bit of data that you seek, the ONLY option you
have is to deploy your innate ability to QUESTION.

Deliberate, iterative, structured questioning is like a fine mesh net; it doesn’t let
irrelevant or false data through because by questioning you control the net’s
parameters by making adjustments. Questioning, like osmosis, is a two-way
filtering system. It’s also your editor. And your pathway to truth.
Questioning leverages our most potent skill – IDEATION.
Making questioning the core of our Human-Digital Interface is the only way to
adapt and move forward towards truth. And anyone can do it. And it has immense
power. We first became self-aware and then wise because for the first time
someone used the newly acquired skill of speech and asked, “What if?” And ended
up with ideations that changed everything.
At Terego Training we have developed a procedural learning system in the form of
a gamified dashboard to help people handle their problems, in large or small
groups, or alone, by partnering with AI and leveraging what Demis Hassabis, the
founder of Google’s Deep Mind, calls, “The sum of human knowledge,” to our
advantage.
