The New AI: Authentic Interactions

Hello friends. I will be the first to admit that I don't fully understand everything that Artificial Intelligence has to offer us. I know it can be very helpful for compiling data and problem-solving however, the parts of AI that mimic human behavior continue to cause me a bit of concern. When computers can simulate become autonomous and mimic human learning, problem-solving, communication and creativity, I can’t help but feel that we might be losing a bit of our humanity. 

So I have an idea. What if we while we continue to embrace Artificial Intelligence and all it has to offer, we also embrace a new AI: Authentic Interactions.

And actually this new AI is not really new at all right? Authentic Interactions are a uniquely human experience.   

What does it mean to interact authentically? It requires us to be genuine, self-aware, honest, vulnerable, and to live our values. It requires us to double down on our humanity. 

Authentic Interactions are:

Genuine-when we let go of our roles and show our true selves to each other.

Self-aware- when we cultivate a deep understanding of ourselves-our habits, beliefs and patterns.  

Honest: when we tell the truth about who we are and our passions and goals.

Vulnerable-when we are brave enough to show up imperfectly perfect and admit our fears and weaknesses.

Values-when we live in congruence with what we truly care about.

Genuineness, Self-awareness, Honesty, Vulnerability and Values. These are things that make us human. And boy oh boy does our world need our humanity right now. Will you join me in embracing the new AI?
