From different sources, I began receiving the same message: “Write a book about AI.” That is not something one can take lightly. I began this column precisely because I did not want the responsibility of writing a book and carrying the entire effort required to see it published; rather, I wanted to explore and discern my own knowledge and personal story. It didn’t begin with AI. It began with an attempt to discern why the pains of life become acute and why our plans crash into them. I needed to connect the pivotal moments of my life biographically in order to understand the path that led me into the deep pit I had fallen into. I titled that body of work “personal leadership”—because I was, in fact, leading my way out of the dissonant pit I was experiencing.
The shift toward AI came from assuming responsibility for sharing what I was seeing, understanding, and not hearing from others on the subject.
Now, another phase begins
I find it worthwhile to write a book shaped by the vision that is being revealed to me—especially because I keep hearing so-called experts put their foot in their mouth as they brandish apocalypses and utopias. Not because AI could not help us destroy everything or, paradoxically, also solve great and important problems—but perhaps because, for a kite to fly well, it needs two things: a tail with some weight for balance, and a line firmly anchored to the ground so the wind does not carry it away.
But then a question arises: “How do I continue with the column?”
Before launching the column in September 2022, I made a firm commitment to publish at least one article every week, and I’ve decided that writing the book will not change that discipline. EL PUNTO a la iA must continue… let me explain how.
Perhaps the most important task around any topic in our post-truth culture is to clarify concepts and expose misaligned interpretations.
I can already hear the dissenting voices saying: “Who decides which interpretations are ‘misaligned’?”
My answer is clear and direct: YOU DO!
Nothing is more necessary—and almost entirely absent—in post-truth culture than critical thinking.
Starting next week, this column will become a space where I curate content, articles, information, and news about AI. I will offer my point of view and share relevant information on trends and the inner workings of artificial intelligence.
At the same time, this material will feed into the book, and you—my readers—will benefit from my research.
Thank you for your support.
I encourage you to leave topics about AI that interest you in the chat or on Instagram; that way I can take into account perspectives other than my own.
I also want to tell you that if you’re interested in the area I mentioned earlier—“discerning why the pains of life become acute and why our plans crash into them”—I’ve started another column… because writing is a revealing form of therapy that orients us and anchors us in the truth we discover through it: Onward & Upward.
