  • This is my entire keynote at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta https://www.modexshow.com/ Thanks to @poweredbymhi and MODEX for making the video available - you can watch it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQXaahnX1Qc As we step into a future powered by #artificialintelligence we find ourselves at a crossroads. In this talk, I explain that the key to harnessing the full potential of AI isn't in replicating human consciousness (aka achieving GI) but in using it as a powerful tool to enhance our capabilities, improve efficiency, and innovate. It's competence, not consciousness. AI is already transforming most industries via predictive analytics, automation and over #cognification. Yet, with this great power comes great responsibility. We must safeguard our data, address AI biases, and ensure its ethical use to protect what makes us human. Contrary to the widespread fears of job displacement, history shows that new technology usually creates new opportunities and enriches human work. Moreover, tackling challenges like climate change requires both technological solutions and human empathy. AI offers innovative ways to manage resources and foster sustainable practices, paving the way for a greener future. In the realm of supply chain management, AI's capabilities are game-changers, offering efficiency and insight that drive smarter, data-driven decisions. This collaboration between humans and AI isn't about competition but about partnership and progress, guided by ethical principles and by wise policies. The future we're moving towards is one where AI supports our endeavors, enhancing our lives and work without replacing the unique qualities that define us. By embracing AI thoughtfully, we can build a future that's not just technologically advanced but also humane and inclusive.
