The future of human dignity and agency depends upon institutional design: In the age of AI, ‘human resilience shifts from simply enduring to sustaining autonomy under technological mediation.’
“As AI systems become embedded in governance, markets, education, healthcare and everyday decision-making, human adaptation will unfold across interconnected dimensions, including, inter alia, cognitive, institutional, professional, normative/legal and cultural dimensions….

“First of all, it will be kind of a landslide. Advanced AI’s arrival is going to be a very overwhelming reality. Different from although somewhat the same as previous technological…
‘Humans could fall so far behind future AIs or AI-augmented minds that they lose via natural selection.1) Take this seriously. 2) Maintain wide error margins. 3) Focus on building adaptive capacity.’
“The media and information environment is confused and perspectives on AI vary wildly. Many people don’t think at all about the future of AI. Many more people simply imagine that…
People will delegate crucial qualitative life decisions to AI, including how they relate to others. The loneliness crisis will worsen. Look to ‘dumb homes’ and‘chaos engineering’ to help build resilience.
