How do we navigate this new automated system, the scope of which we can barely grasp? Could it be that the capacity to navigate it already exists within us, just waiting to be uncovered?
We are entering a new technological era that promises to lift our lives and lifestyles far beyond what we have known so far. Most of us probably sense both the vast opportunities and the unspecific dangers it caries. Yet, it often feels as if the whole development is out of our hands, plus we are already exhausted from constantly adapting to new tools.
Yes, the overall development of these new technologies is beyond our control, but how we choose to use them is actually up to us. We can choose to take on a new level of self-leadership, expanding our mind, our awareness, plus our ability to act with purpose, and that supports the use of the new system.
An upside-down system
The thing is, AI is not just another tool but a whole new eco-system. We are used to think of IT systems as tools, designed for specific tasks. With AI, we get a system that can create what we need, so instead of using it for specific tasks, we use and develop it for what we need.
For this to succeed and to thrive in this new landscape, we must think from a creative perspective:
- What do I want to create with any type of AI?
- How can AI strengthen my potential?
- What do I not want it to do?
- And on an even larger scale: What kind of society do we want to create together through AI?
AI is the system ready for humanity to reach its next level of evolution. If it sounds a bit extraordinary, yes, it actually is, but technology has the capacity to invite us to move from merely surviving to thriving. To become more human, not less. If we navigate with consciousness.
Becoming conscious is lifting ourselves out of old ways of thinking into a more holistic approach. It is thinking and being from a higher ground, from which we can find new ideas, see new visions, create new solutions. It is seeing clearly what possibilities we have and which direction we want to move in.
Ethics as our navigator
AI does as it is told. If we do not navigate from inner clarity AI might amplify our confusion, but if we are conscious, it amplifies our wisdom. It is as simple as that.
So we want to grow. We want to strengthen our innate potential and capacities. We want to be specific on our values and ethics, which is a part of becoming more conscious. When do we want to automate, how do we ensure, that our ai-models reflect human values, how do we protect creativity and authenticity?
We must protect creativity, authenticity, and human judgement as scared elements of the future.
Because the real story here is not about technology. It is about humanity.
Navigating from within
After a decade of working with transformation, I have seen again and again how people can lift themselves into their higher level of consciousness, simply by shifting from outer control to inner navigation.
This is where true transformation begins. This is where humanity steps into character. And then, the way they radiate charisma! And true authenticity, strength and balance!
From this inner clarity, we see beyond the old narratives that shape our societies, beyond outdated systems and ways of doing business and living life, into a new future where AI underpins higher levels of success and human freedom.
When we learn to let go of all the layers that cover our true selves, our visionary, creative core becomes free to guide us. That core is our compass, and our greatest asset in navigating the age of AI.
What we need to navigate wisely:
Mindset
- Stay open to new methods
- Keep learning
- Let go of the fear of mistakes
- Be creative
- Focus on where AI can take us
Direction
- Find our core potential
- Create a clear vision for our life and work
- Lift the consciousness of your mind
This is how we begin to navigate; not by resisting the new, but by remembering who we are.
We cannot stop AI from happening, and it may not be an easy task. But we can set an intention and decide how we are going to use it, each and every one of us.
Plus, those who dare to lead from consciousness, creativity, and courage will not be lost in the system. They will define it.
