AI, what is the value of an idea?
Nothing, without action.
No idea has value unless a person does the work required to bring that idea to fruition.
I see a volume of information out there about artificial intelligence and how the advancements in technology are placing the future of humans at risk. Maybe you have seen these stories, job loss, lower earning potential, loss of control and freedom, “AI will exceed human performance”.
Fear. This focus creates fear.
Further, if we assume these fears may be realized, what is it a human can do that AI and robotics cannot?
There are some gifts that every human has that no machine or artificial intelligence can take away. These gifts include emotions, we can feel. Creativity, we can create and conceptualize. Connection, AI will never listen like a human can listen or share an experience like humans can. AI will never create our future, only we can do that.
These parts of each of us, that we are born with, cannot be taken away and they don’t follow the restrictive rules of society.
Maybe you call your ideas dreams. How might you make your dreams come true? Take action.
Take the small step that you can take today to make it real. Maybe this means writing your dream down or drawing a picture or collecting a collage of images that illustrate what you imagine.
Humans have an innate ability to create, and we have not imagined or created anything that can do this for us. Choose to focus this skill on positive outcomes.
The most reliable way to predict your future is to create it.

If you struggle with this it may be because the critical voice inside is telling you that you are not creative. I can’t draw, I was never good at art. I can’t write, no one would want to read it. Negative self-talk is one of the forces that prevents us from realizing our potential. That force is inside of you and it is within your control to change it and it is worth changing if you choose to do that work.
I find it interesting that the result of someone’s creativity was development of artificial intelligence. I wonder what the vision of this creative person was. What future was their imagination leading them to? You see, the problem we are having with AI is not AI itself. The problems we are having is the purpose humans have created AI for.
I welcome technology and can see some very good uses for AI. I only want a choice in their intended purpose.
The events in our world are the result of someone’s created plan; or is it our collective failure to plan? If you don’t know where you are going any road will get you there so if you don’t like your current circumstances stop being a passenger and start to captain your ship. How might you correct a negative purpose or outcome? You create a better vision and you make that vision reality. Get clear on that vision, make it as real as you can in your mind and use it as your guide. Your lighthouse leading you to safety. Your lighthouse leading you to happiness or freedom or both.
Then act on your idea, one small step at a time.
One never knows, the rest of us may be depending on you to act on your dreams. Can you imagine?
