Electromagnetic Vulnerability

Context: AI-Enabled Electromagnetic Warfare Systems On a general assumption that algorithmic complexity is primarily a transduction of mechanised conceptual logic into alternate (if perhaps inevitable) dimensions, vectored mathematical invocations and expressions of technical entropy; and, given that recursive self-entanglement is both a cause and consequence of intractable systemic (i.e. logical) incompleteness and material uncertainty, this […]

Generative Complexity

Under some definition of artificial intelligence, generative complexity is remarkable and for at least two primary reasons. First: to use these interfaces to inordinately high-dimensional information systems is always and already to concede some marginal threshold of control. You just never know what the model outputs will be and this represents both the technology’s strength […]

AI, Meaning, Absence

Words acquire meaning from adaptively relational dependency and entanglement with other words and definitions in whichever language, mind or culture they inhabit. Extrapolating this to sentences (and beyond, to narrative and ideology or any other linguistically-mediated system of belief), the combinatorial complexity of referential dependencies quickly becomes effectively unintelligible. A useful mnemonic and metaphor is […]

Education and AI

We have stepped across an event horizon in which accelerating rates of technical change and the proliferation of “cognitive” tools have outpaced our personal, professional and/or collective ability to stay on top of the diversity and utility of these rapidly speciating systems. Strategic planning for education (as much as for the broader world) will be […]

AI Gold Rush

A literal gold rush moment, but let’s not kid ourselves about the good, the bad and the ugly of it all. The cadence is already beyond effective management: everyone is constantly playing catch up, and – if you read between the lines, this uncertainty is the kernel core of the value and utility of an […]

AI Ethics, Alignment, Responsibility, Strategy

Responsibility is significant. Aligned factors: the most disruptive feature of new technology is counter-intuitively NOT (or at least not only) the novel artefact, entity or system. It is the literally self-sustaining(!) discontinuity by and through which existing and persisting organisational or communications systems defensively lash themselves to the mast of strategic and communicative anachronisms. They […]

Semantic Morphology is Anamorphic

In a context of artificial intelligence and among many other complex issues of governance and control, we can effectively build the conceptual labyrinth of regulatory theory any way we choose to, unbounded from canonical dogma. Some technical dialects and definitions or descriptions will be more inequitable than others and this is the placeholder for an irreducible obligation and orientation towards […]

AI and Strategy

The relationship of new technologies with sustainable organisational learning and growth is not itself new. It’s a journey of adaptive sociotechnical integration that is as beneficial to consider in the strategic whole as it is mandatory to define and refine in the instrumental parts. What is new is that non-linear effects are inevitable at scale. […]

Will AI take Our Jobs?

The core question is that of continuity versus change. Not only do we find the genotypical logic of Aristotelian syllogisms whispering back to us in various ways in and as these aspirationally cognitive technologies, but we also find ourselves engaging in similarly antique philosophical reflections at almost every inflection point. Aligning personal experience and socioeconomic […]

The Prompt Whisperer

One system. Two sub-systems that each contain the other as a function of the communication and interdependent modelling they generate. Each sub-system contains the other and is bound in and as one unifying abstraction that only persists in the way it contains itself. It contains itself through the modularly decomposable differentiation of sub-systems that inflate […]

AI: Risk

This “race” may indeed be a descending, dissipative system and entropy dividend as a function of the overall approximation towards the median values that percolate to ascendance through the generally recursive computational processing and validation of billions of pre-existing and manufactured datapoints. Consider, please, and if you will, that what this integrated Rube Goldberg machine […]

Technological Adaptation

Generalised conceptual prediction: we will soon enough observe polymorphism and adaptive metamorphosis in many abstract, material, embedded and even everyday, consumer systems.
