Weare building machines that act on their own.

Each step hands more of the doing, and more of the deciding, to themachine. Argue about the timeline all you like; the direction is not indispute.The

“Winston Churchill once said "We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.". In a broader context, we have shaped our technology to achieve greater productivity and responsiveness and now our technology is shaping our behavior where we are always "on-demand". This has led to a culture where technology plays a greater role in defining who we are.

“What people call #AI is no more than using correlation to find answers to questions we know to ask. Real #AI has awareness of causality, leading to answering questions we haven't dreamed of yet.” - Tom Golway”

“As a society we need to reflect on the events to date and realize that it is critical that a vision for the transformation of how we deliver public services is the top issue to be debated in all elections. This vision is needed at all levels of gov't. - Tom Golway”

“There is a current perception is that science has overtaken Philosophy and in effect rendered Philosophy irrelevant.
Science, when sufficiently abstracted, approaches Philosophy in seeking questions we are unaware exist, though from a direction that is based on current measurable knowledge. Philosophy should approach the undiscovered without relying on our current perception of baseline knowledge. Unfortunately, Philosophy has lost significant respect as a critical component of progress and as such has become virtually stagnant with very few significant big ideas or thinkers.”
