Could AI give a voice to future generations?

The release of OpenAI’s GPT 4o demos show that the future of AI is coming faster than we think. Questions that senior leaders thought could be addressed later, need to be addressed now.

“AI could act as a way to represent the voice of future humans and human generations, leading to more sustainable and forward-thinking decision making”

As a business leader, if GenAI gives your organization a 20% productivity boost, what will you choose to do with it?

Here are 5 issues that need to be addressed sooner than later.

💡Voice v Decision.

One way to differentiate between the role that genAI plays in board room conversations is to decide if the outcomes of such technologies should have just voice rights or also decision making rights. Imagine that an executive team used AI to simulate the voice of future generations when making key decisions - could this help to address our world's 'perspective deficit'?

💡More regulation is coming...and that is a good thing.

Regulation will release VC capital that is currently held back as investors adopt a 'wait and see' approach. Will we see the nature of regulation will shift from redistribution to pre-distribution? It will also become more refined over time.

💡New business models will emerge.

These could be linked to the increasing need for trust and responsible AI such as bias audits and monitoring. Dandelion Health became the first company to offer a service for auditing algorithms in healthcare, and giving performance reports against diversity metrics such as gender and race.

💡Finding your 'secret sauce'.

What proprietary datasets does your organization have that could give you new insights when combined with GenAI? And what strategic moves might you make to get there? For example, ComplyAdvantage a company that provides financial crime intelligence to banks, acquired GoldenAI recently, to strengthen their AI capabilities.

💡Human-only trademarks.

Furniture or clothing made by hand commands a premium over machine-made equivalents, because we value craftmanship and the human effort and skill that went into the making process. Similarly in the future we may value more the knowledge or creative outputs created by 'humans only'.
