Artificial or real, intelligence belongs to humans
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
A technology entrepreneur argues that while artificial intelligence offers unprecedented memory, speed, and accuracy, the core aspects of intelligence—purpose, judgment, and responsibility—remain human. He observes a rapid shift from excitement to fear as AI’s capabilities expand, noting the technology’s potential for misuse by fraudsters, criminals, authoritarian regimes, and negligent employees. Drawing parallels to traditional workforce management, he suggests entrepreneurs should treat AI as a new class of digital employees, leveraging their abilities while instituting robust controls such as standard operating procedures, audits, and permission hierarchies. The piece emphasizes that the challenge lies not in rejecting AI but in developing vigilant governance to harness its benefits without succumbing to its risks.
