AI’s Compass: Exploring Civilization’s Evolution Through Past and Future
The Long Now Foundation’s ‘Ideas’ platform functions as a living library of long-term thinking, drawing insights from the ancient past and the distant future to provide civilization-scale context. This collection critically examines how innovations like artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping humanity, consciousness, and societal structures.
For instance, Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler’s ‘Anatomy of an AI System’ dissects the complex, often hidden, societal implications of AI. Blaise Agüera y Arcas’s ‘Life, Intelligence, and Consciousness: A Functional Perspective’ delves into the functional aspects of these concepts, exploring their relationship with AI. Additionally, Lynn Rothschild’s ‘Lynn Rothschild Takes the Long View’ offers a perspective on scientific and technological progress from a long-term vantage point, prompting reflection on our responsibility to the future. These diverse viewpoints offer crucial guidance on how to think and act in our rapidly evolving AI-driven era.
