learning

No matter how fast we go, a race against machines is one humans are going to lose. Real adaptability isn’t only about speed. Maybe learning faster than the competition means asking the question, ‘What shall we do instead?’

We need to defend our sense of human agency by thinking about the umbilical connection we now have with code, asking questions about it with the curiosity of children and making decisions about it collectively with the wisdom of elders. It may one of the most important acts of agency we undertake.

The idea code will invent intelligences that outsmart or destroy us can be paralysing. This is about tools for digital innovators.
