The metric for AI is whether or not it’s improving the lives of conscious creatures. Most importantly humans.
I’m all in on the ideas and the apps and the sites and the businesses and all that. Super cool stuff.
But we need to be watching the plot here.
- Housing
- Education
- Poverty
- Disease
- Oppression
- Freedom of expression
Basically overall metrics of a healthy society and planet.
Super cool AI robots that help you do anything you want are badass. But not if only a few people get them while everyone else struggles.
Watch the plot.
Is AI helping yet? How would we know? Using what metrics?
And if not, why not and when will it?
