AI/IA

Sam Altman, in his essay "The Intelligence Age," argues that we are on the cusp of a new era powered by AI. He believes deep learning has unlocked the potential for AI to solve complex problems and improve human lives in profound ways. Altman envisions a future where AI acts as personal assistants, revolutionizing healthcare, education, and even space exploration. He emphasizes the need for widespread access to AI, advocating for increased computing power and energy infrastructure to prevent it from becoming a tool for the wealthy. Altman also acknowledges the potential downsides of AI, including labor market disruption, and urges proactive measures to maximize its benefits and mitigate its harms. Altman ultimately paints a picture of a future brimming with prosperity, where AI empowers humanity to achieve unprecedented feats, even surpassing the capabilities of previous generations.

How do you feel about the already underway Intelligence Age? Are you keeping pace with our rapidly evolving and sometimes precarious world? If superintelligence is truly within reach in a matter of years, what does that mean for those just entering the workforce—and for those with established ideas about what work should be? It’s clear that the future will not resemble the past, and the speed of change is bound to be both exhilarating and unsettling.
