They have now closed up shop and their work has been taken over by the Ada Lovelace Institute. I love this because Ada Lovelace was our first woman entrepreneur. computer scientists, but they have taken it over. And actually it was Salesforce who really popularized this tool in recent years. So right back to the heart of your podcast. Here's how consequence scanning works.
You take a two by two grid on the Y axis, you put positive and negative. And then on the X axis, you put negative. unknown and known. And so for any decision you're going to make, and this could be about, should we implement an AI chatbot? Should we move to Seattle? Really, it can be used for just about anything.

And when .everyone created it, this was really probably not intended to be used with AI, but it works perfectly for AI. What are the positive intended consequences of this whatever it is that we are thinking about developing and launching into the world. These are going to be, of course, the reasons why you're thinking about this as a feature or a product or a service in the first place.

But then you have to think about, okay, what are the negative known consequences? And you might think about, well, why would we have negative known consequences? Why would we do anything that we know is going to have negative consequences? Well, think about Uber.

And Lyft, when they launched, one of the known negative consequences was that it was going to completely disrupt the taxi industry and all of the people who depended on that for their livelihood. You know, it was not great for the people involved in that, but it was certainly a known negative consequence that they were absolutely aware of.

Then you think about, OK, what could be some possible negative unintended consequences? And this is really where you've got to go deep and think about, OK, what if people misuse this? What if hackers come in and want to to take advantage of whatever service that we're creating? What are the potential harms that could impact people? Animals, the earth, global markets.

I mean, there's all kinds of potential harms ranging from very small to really very broad reaching that would impact every human on earth. What are some potential positive effects unintended consequences. The example that we like to use when we're teaching this in our class is the ring doorbell.
