Transforming ego into collaborative wisdom
“It is becoming clear that the exponential growth in the power of AI promises not only extraordinary wonders but serious dangers as well. These include complex “wicked” problems and perhaps even existential threats just as significant as climate change, the sixth great extinction, and nuclear war.
