What Only a Human Can Do

Sometimes this thought is there. The thought that occupies us for deep and for long. It is something which concerns our innerselve because it is about something we assumed was our own, our great, non rationalizable asset. Our abilities.

What will people do in the future when machines can do so much of what we identified ourselves with and also saw as the content of our lives, which is now still there, but the outcome in a professional sense is increasingly in competition with infinite digital reproducibility?

Perhaps we need to ask the question differently...

Our world is made up of myriads of components that are put together in the most diverse ways and show mutual effects. Therefore there is much that can be supplemented by technology and even replaced and there is much in being human and in his actions, which until a development of its own consciousness will probably for a long time remain reserved only for humans. Such qualities as wonder, true and engagded responsibility, presence and you can add so many things you experience everyday if you have words for it and sometimes not even words exists for them.

We know that these qualities don't appear in management dashboards or productivity reports, they have no place there, no heritage no culture. No space is given to them although they exist between people and is lived every day in many, human, ways.

The further story of AI and technology will, if we humans want to steer it instead of wanting to let ourselves be steered, which is now often the case, is that we should not concentrate to much on what comes next from and for the machines, but remember what we ourselves are and want to become to draft our version of the future for our benefit.
