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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I am coming to believe that these shady generative AI spelling misadventures are actually not at all what we think they are. Our primary method of communication in language is subject to core ambiguities at the semantic layer. Certainly, the training data is formative but insofar as language itself is concerned, these disjointedly discontinuous misrepresentations […]
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. […]
AI is a concept. That concept is, or for all intents and purposes soon will be, everywhere. Cultural systems instruct us in the relational semantics of high-dimensional combinatorial depth without once ever having to complicate it in this way. This is because cultural systems do not copy the blueprint or source code of their contexts […]
In a landscape where technology and language converge, we stand at an intriguing crossroads. Language, traditionally the domain of human thought and expression, now blooms in the realm of AI, independent of its human roots. This evolution heralds a significant shift in how we perceive and engage with this fundamental aspect of our identity. Once […]
In the discourse on artificial intelligence and its integration into society, a pressing concern emerges: the potential inability of humanity to adapt to the transformative changes AI brings. This concern is not rooted in the capabilities of AI itself, but in the human response to its rapid evolution. This blog post examines this issue, structured […]
In the realm of artistic creation, the emergence of artificially intelligent generative technologies heralds a paradigm shift, one that both augments and, paradoxically, dilutes the essence of human creativity. As we stand on the cusp of this technological revolution, it becomes imperative to question the role and significance of authorial intent in the face of […]
There may exist fascinating parallels between the recursive nature of advanced AI systems and Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, particularly in the context of self-reference and logical systems. This recursion is a function of the endless reprocessing of cognitive, cultural and technological information in contemporary machine learning pipelines. Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, fundamentally, assert two key points about […]
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 […]
