Memory is the substrate of identity. When AI can generate pasts we never lived and persist as versions of us we never authorized, the question shifts from 'what do we remember?' to 'who governs the remembering?' New piece on cognitive sovereignty and raising AI-native kids. shorturl.at/pqr8c

The rush to govern AGI with managerial frameworks like "Theory of Change" fundamentally misunderstands power. AGI demands problematization & a cartography of power, not an illusion of rational control.

What do we do when the AI thinks we write like it does?

The language we use for AI lacks a crucial noun: labor.

Synthetic Labor:
"Synthetic labor is the autonomous execution of cognitive or physical tasks by non-human systems to generate economic value."

Updating my Ambitions as a Mother Motherhood on the Cusp of the Singularity: Part 1

"Instead of beliefs, I am going to take positions. Positions must be defended or they will erode; they must evolve or they will diminish; they require proactive learning and expansion.

Beliefs are just held.

In a moment like this, I can’t just hold beliefs."

So how many times did you walk by the cupcakes? At any point did you think, "oh there's my wife's favorite cupcake"? I think state of mind here is really key. This failure has made it all the way to Chicago. 😂

If an algorithm produces a conclusion we cannot trace, should we distrust it? Even when much of human reasoning is equally opaque. In theory, perfect transparency might seem essential; in reality, what matters most is whether the resulting actions are safe and acceptable.

Leaders now have a timely opportunity, even a responsibility, to clearly articulate their organization's stance on AI, craft thoughtful usage guidelines, and create an environment of trust where successes and lessons learned are openly shared.

Join me tomorrow as I share how I've been thinking about and answering these questions.

How will you ensure that there are safeguards? How will you know how your children are using these technologies? How can you set them up for success while protecting them?

Where do you fit on the parenting tech-adoption continuum? What AI solutions make sense for your family and your children?

There is a continuum of parenting tech adoption from Amish parents to parents who are editing genomes, pre-implantation of embryos, and everything in between. There are no wrong or right choices, but there are informed and uniformed choices.

I've thought deeply about how to develop a parenting model customized for you and your family in the AI age.

My daughter has been conversing with ChatGPT's voice mode for 18 months since September 2023. She is fluent in conversing with AI conversation bots and accesses it on the iPad, my phone, or my laptop.

In our family, ChatGPT is the "Why Question" and "Explain it like I'm 6" tutor who is always available and incredibly knowledgeable.

Parenting in the age of AI means understanding the technology and proactively deciding how you and your family will use it at home.

Every day since I've been in awe of AI's capabilities and deeply worried about its implications for our society and our families.

I first gained access to OpenAI solutions on January 1st, 2022. I read about the company in Azeem Azhar's Exponential View newsletter, signed up, and was brought to tears within minutes when I saw what it could do.

We began with an introduction to AI in February, a deep dive into advanced prompt strategies in March, and tomorrow, I'll conclude with AI in the home, with a focus on parenting.

Bring Your Own AI in Chicago? Balancing Innovation With Risk

Leaders now have a timely opportunity, indeed a responsibility, to clearly articulate their organization's stance on AI, craft thoughtful usage guidelines, and create an environment of trust where successes and lessons learned are openly shared.

Beyond risks, employee reticence and silence also stifle learning, inhibit transparency, and ultimately risk valuable data.

Too frequently, employees hesitate to disclose which AI tools they use or the tasks they're automating, fearing repercussions in the face of absent or unclear internal policies.

In the IT Risk Management space, this is called “Shadow AI,”; Chicago’s executives must step back and initiate frank, transparent conversations about what responsible AI usage genuinely entails.

Even more concerning, sensitive personal and proprietary company information regularly makes its way onto these unprotected public tools—often lacking essential security measures like two-factor authentication or enterprise-grade data protection.

In virtually every session, I've stumbled upon a curious yet alarming reality: employees eagerly using freely available AI platforms with minimal, if any, oversight.

Over the past year, I've been working closely with diverse organizations across Chicago, guiding employees and leaders on how to leverage generative AI effectively and responsibly.

A Fragmented Landscape Is No Excuse for Global Companies Serious About Responsible AI Artificial intelligence experts debate whether there is alignment around global standards and norms for responsible AI.

“While there is growing consensus on the importance of ethical AI, true international alignment on emerging codes of conduct and standards remains incomplete...” -Teddy Bekele, Land O’Lakes
