Artificial Wisdom of the Mind: Read the Ending: AI will never be Wise ?

Roger F. Malina, May 19 2024

I just attended our first cybervillage meeting in Bogota Colombia ( https://dis-publishing.com/2024/04/15/ciber-villages/ )

The first meeting of the emerging cybervillage occurred a few days ago in Bogota Colombia.

Two desirable outcomes were:

1. Historians 100 years from now would describe how the cybervillage initiated desirable changes in our worlds. Exemplar: the Macy conferences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy_conferences
2. Initiate cross-cultural collaborations to overcome cultural segregation and disputes. We don’t know yet if we achieved this. We think AI will never be wise, because there is no universal wisdom, each community has its own local wisdom. What is wise in Bogota may not be wise in Dallas, and this may change with time.

Some of the ideas we discussed were documented years ago in:

Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind, Third Edition

TLDR

This book helps to understand the differences in the way strategists and their followers think, offering practical solutions for those in business to help solve conflict between different groups.

Abstract

Despite calls for better co-operation between countries and different cultures, there is still confrontation between people, groups and nations. But at the same time they are exposed to common problems which demand cooperation for the solution of these problems. This book helps to understand the differences in the way strategists and their followers think, offering practical solutions for those in business to help solve conflict between different groups

AND

The narrative lays one basement layer for Ciber-Village while acknowledging that different cultures may have overlapping or different ethics and morals- we need to learn to collaborate with people we had and don’t trust as Kahane amply documented after he helped Nelson Mandal win a war without a fight.

Collaboration is increasingly difficult and increasingly necessary

Often, to get something done that really matters to us, we need to work with people we don’t agree with or like or trust. Adam Kahane has faced this challenge many times, working on big issues like democracy and jobs and climate change and on everyday issues in organizations and families. He has learned that our conventional understanding of collaboration—that it requires a harmonious team that agrees on where it’s going, how it’s going to get there, and who needs to do what—is wrong. Instead, we need a new approach to collaboration that embraces discord, experimentation, and genuine cocreation—which is exactly what Kahane provides in this groundbreaking and timely book.
