ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
From My Feared Foe to New Friend
I am a resistor of anything that diminishes the human and social connection.The Blue Zones studies have proven its importance for longer, healthier lives along with many other reputable studies. And, I know this in my heart.
When a major pandemic stunned and immobilized us in 2020, I was determined to reopen and offer our boutique-style yoga and wellness services as soon as legally permitted to do so for our community. Some thought I was crazy but I remained determined, declining the option to switch to an on-line community most others were doing. My intuition told me our in-person sanctuary could help us maintain some level of sanity, boost our immune system, and support one another, including me through some difficult years. We adapted and did so while being responsible in the process. I am grateful we stayed the course.
When A.I. emerged, I resisted. Movies like I Robot and Terminator instilled fear in me, along with other sci-fi movies over the years. I like people, not robots. In reality our world is changing quickly and it's no longer just a movie. A.I. is here. So wisdom tells me, understanding it is my responsibility.
In order to overcome my bad attitude that was getting me nowhere fast, and since I cannot change the inevitable, I decided to attempt to understand it better. So, I participated in a recent 3-day A.I. Summit with Tony Robbins (international motivational speaker, coach and author) and team to give me a jumpstart along with over 650,000 others. I admire his undeniable energy he maintains at 65 years of age. His first book, Unlimited Power inspired and resonated with me as I listened to it on multiple cassettes in the 1980s while stuck in traffic around the D.C. beltway drives. When Tony talks, I listen.
Some key takeaways about A.I. to consider:
Most of us alive now are the last pre-A.I. generation. Reflect on the experiences without and with the technology and notice how it enhanced your life.
If you use a smart phone or other technology-based device including TVs and streaming, you're already experiencing its ability to predict and provide. But you still choose.
Humans and A.I. can collaborate for more efficiency and problem solving allowing us more time to enjoy life.
Cloning yourself with an Avatar is available now. Learn to distinguish what's real.
We have been using A.I. for many years and super developments are coming over the next 3-5 years. Stay ahead of the curve. Research and experiment now.
Medicine, health care, research and economics will advance.
Jobs and careers will change. Those in the market need to prepare for possibilities and learn what A.I. cannot do where humans excel.
24/7 services are available at our fingertips.
Only humans have personal experiences, emotions, intuition, and choice.
We are still the decision makers. Let A.I. assist us in the process of choices.
People will always need people to thrive including the experience to love. Have no fear.
How are you preparing to merge with the rest of the world as A.I. develops and offers you tools to support your needs and offer you more free time?
Committed to the human spirit while accepting inevitable advancements,
