‘Adaptation without ethical reflection risks creating societies in which algorithms silently structure opportunity and exclusion. … For AI to truly serve humanity, it must be guided by wisdom.’
“We must recognize that resilience is not purely individual – it is collective. Communities, policymakers, technologists and researchers must collaborate to ensure that AI systems are designed with human dignity…
Three groups will emerge: those who build their lives around AI (transhumanists), those who resist (the modern Amish) and pragmatic late adopters. A notable worry is caste-like schisms.
“I expect we will see a trifurcation in people’s approach to AI and resilience, so there’s no single answer to human resilience in the age of AI. Some people will…
The ‘Cyborg Slide’ is coming. ‘We will develop new abilities but they will come at the cost of shedding parts of our humanity which we must work to hold onto.’ We must treasure the ‘slow and the small.’
“I think of the coming 10 years as the ‘Cyborg Slide,’ a time when we will develop new abilities but at the cost of shedding parts of our humanity which…
‘Allowing our lives to be monopolized by digital devices makes us less resilient, feeling less human and less confident in other humans. … It could be the most serious pandemic humanity has seen.’
“Raise your hand if you aren’t experiencing these: Confusion. Disorientation. Loss of contact with yourself, with reality. Conflating truths. Lack of trust in others and ourselves. Self-doubt of our senses…
Muster agency; avoid complacency. ‘Resilience stems from gaining skill in meeting life’s errors, detours, difficulties and frustrations.’ … Don’t defer to ‘friction-free’ AI; it leads to loss.
“AI hype has often been followed by sobering AI winters, so it’s impossible to precisely predict the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity in the next decade and beyond. Yet…
Real resilience comes from embracing things that can’t be captured in data or resolved through optimization; resisting convenience and developing the ability to operate in genuine uncertainty.
“What skills or practices will help us stay resilient as AI reshapes work and life? Maybe people will look to algorithms to optimize everything – including just how much fat…
Tech disruptions of the past teach us such change can be harmful. While AI as it stands today is an extractive industry benefiting technology plutocrats, mitigation guardrails can eventually be built.
“The impact of the technological innovations of the past 200 years has made it clear that as new developments in science and technology create new possibilities they also fundamentally change…
My co-intelligent research with an AI has revealed that a healthy and resilient world springs from education reform, new workplace trends and norms and policies that reduce compulsive AI usage.
“Feeling excited about AI in 2026 feels like being a cheerleader for the apocalypse. There’s so much good that AI could do for our society, our economy and our personal…
What I learned building a local hub in a global shift: People’s concerns are less about AI than about their own place within systems that embrace AI. Coping with uncertainty is a key requirement.
“Over the past year, my understanding of resilience in the age of artificial intelligence shifted from theory to lived experience. Not because of one breakthrough model or report, but because…
‘Future generations may accept displacement by AI as their lot in life.’ Due to humans’ tendency to ‘take shortcuts that serve immediate needs, most will respond with a despondent shrug.’
“Responses to a larger role played by more-advanced AI in human activity will be shaped according to cultures, attentions and abilities. In an individualistic society like the one seen today…
