@hades_blado I just wish we had some scifi that explored paths to a better future, instead of exclusively exploring bad futures. What our society needs is a shared vision of the good future to aim for.

Our democracies, economies, and legal systems weren’t built to absorb AI at the rate it’s advancing.

In a new essay for @NoemaMag, our Reverse Alignment coalition map out the investments it will take to rethink the institutions, norms, skills, and governance frameworks needed for society to flourish with AI: https://t.co/uFhim9u2zN

That said, you can subscribe for free and it's a great way to get some good news in your inbox!

[Ian Gilman @iangilman]

The news media (and social media) focuses too much on the negative when there's actually plenty of good news out there as well. This is doing real damage to our society as it pushes everyone into panic. Here's one of my favorite antidotes to that: https://t.co/iv4a2owlbA

[Ian Gilman @iangilman]
