The Reality of AI | Pt.19 | AI is a very BIG problem. But it is not the only one.

It is certainly true that if the correct circumstances were to exist, legislation, regulation and governance of the kind necessary to oversee the use and development of AI, in a healthy and beneficial way, could be created and implemented too.

However, in isolation and without change to anything else, you might as well create such governance in a silo.

Whilst there are very few people who either recognise or even understand that there is interconnectedness between everything that happens with Public Policy and across the public realm – no matter how disparate public policy and the areas of its implementation may seem, there are virtually none within Politics, Government and the Establishment who are willing to attempt to do so. Of those that do, their careers rarely avoid being cut remarkably short.

The interconnectedness or commonality between everything, isn’t the Public Policy itself. It is the thinking that lies behind its creation, review, maintenance and review.

Everything today is focused on self-interest.

The majority of People walk around and approach their lives with a filter between them and everything they are experiencing that immediately captions everything with the question ‘how does this affect me’.

One step further to the People in Politics, Government and the Establishment and the question simply changes to ‘how does this benefit me’.

On a collective basis the problem is so severe because of the way that power and influence works.

The world today is morally bankrupt.

Bit by bit. Person by Person. Me and You. We have all played our part.

We can change all of this by changing the things that we have the power to change. That’s all we really need to do.

We just have to accept that the power and the responsibility for change doesn’t lie somewhere outside of us and with someone else.
