We can have this, not that across tutors, therapy, AI that's augmenting work, AI that's narrow AIs that take a lot less power, by the way, and are more directly applied.
So for example, I have a friend who has found that
He estimates that it would cost two to 10 orders of magnitude less data and energy to train these narrow AIs.
And you can apply it more specifically to agriculture and get 30 to 50% boost in agriculture just from applying more narrow kinds of AI rather than these super intelligent gods in a box.
So there is another path.
But it would take deploying AI in a very different way.
We could also be using AI to, by the way, accelerate governance.
How do we apply AI to look at the legal system and say, how do we sunset all the old laws that are actually not relevant anymore for the new context?
Hey, what were the spirit of those laws that we actually want to protect in the new context?
Hey, AI, could you go to work and kind of come up with the distinctions that we need to help update all those laws?
Could we use AI to actually help find the common ground?
Audrey Tang's work, the former digital minister of Taiwan, to find the common ground between all citizens.
So we're reflecting back the invisible consensus of society rather than currently social media is reflecting back the invisible division in society that's actually making that more salient.
So what would happen?
How quickly would it change if we had AIs that were gardening all the relationships of our societal fabric?
And I think that's the principle of humane technology is that there are these relationships in society that exist.
I have a relationship to myself.
You have a relationship to yourself.
Our phone right now is actually designed to replace the relationship I have with myself.
Humane technology would be technology in everyone else.
