Questions to ask ourselves

The development of AI raises a number of “big picture” questions. Here are just a few…

  • What sets humans apart from machines?
  • When it comes to generative AI, what constitutes creativity/innovation?
  • Can AI truly replicate human consciousness and emotions?

AI forces us to question many of our long-held beliefs about ourselves and our place in the world. As we continue to grapple with these issues, we must approach them with humility and a deep sense of responsibility.

Ideally, we want to create a future that realizes the benefits of AI, while also protecting those unique qualities that make us all human.
