The New Mantra: If You Could Start Fresh with AI, then What Would You Do?

The advance team of innovators In every industry and every field need to clean the whiteboards and think through how to rebuild their worlds based on the new foundation of intelligent machines

Excerpt: "The more I have learned about artificial intelligence over the last several years, the more I have come to realize that we really should reinvent everything, in all directions, from scratch, starting now.

If we can’t jumpstart that kind of transformation for practical reasons, then we need to have advance teams of innovators in every industry and field start thinking through how they could rebuild their worlds from scratch by making the most of intelligent machines.

The rest of us could then do our very best to align with those roadmaps from what I call the “A Team” and practically rebuild those worlds off the new foundations of AI as rapidly as humanly possible.

This approach assumes, like I do, that artificial intelligence is a game-changing general-purpose technology with world-changing capabilities. It has now arrived, is rapidly improving, and will never go away.

This projects, as I do, that the 21st century is going to be fundamentally rebuilt around this transformative technology, and so we better get on with the inevitable process of reinventing our economy, society, and even civilization around machines that think.

This transition can start with a simple mantra that innovators in every industry and field — and really, any of us looking at the world today — should keep repeating:

If you could start fresh with AI, then what would you do?"
