But to demonstrate that you have empathy and you care about others and have the capacity to self-edit in a way that helps the team and the organization is a fundamental accolade or leadership skill.

Yeah, God, there's so much going on.

And you know, I always feel like uncomfortable trying to predict what comes next.

Most of the times our predictions are off.

But if time stopped now, and AI development and technological development stopped,

we would still need quite a while to kind of absorb it and make sense of it.

Like, let's start with very, very concrete and simple examples.

So we may have some human listeners, but probably a lot of people are feeding this podcast to their large language model, the Gen-AI model, and getting a summary of it, right?

And, you know,

and that might be fed into another ai and also you know we could have made this podcast not being ourselves but having our agents or a deep fakes or a digital clones doing it i think ai is incredible you know to some degree

is the clearest demonstration of how smart we are as a species that we have managed to create something that can think and create for us on the downside that also means that we can be without thinking and creating and that

creates some existential anxiety, at least in me.

It's like the card says, I think, therefore I am.

And now we are, but we no longer think.

That was the premise of the book.

But what worries me is that during the same time, AI has become more human, but we have become more robotic.

If you think even about knowledge work,

it's all optimized for efficiency and we are kind of entering more data and being more standardized and it's like everything goes to the cloud.

So I think the call to action is, okay, AI will continue to advance and be superhuman if you like,

but we should not turn into machines.
