Human Leadership in the Age of AI: Reclaiming Empathy, Intuition, and Creativity
I love AI, but it can never replace spiritual promptings that relate to the future. AI is backward-looking, whereas humans, through inspiration, can see into the future. Otherwise, how did Joseph interpret Pharaoh’s dream and accurately predict 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine?
AI doesn’t run human corporations, humans do. AI can’t show empathy or compassion. Today in Canada is Remembrance Day, a day of remembering those who fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy. How does AI feel about that? Fifty-five men from our small town gave their lives in World War I and World War II. AI can report on those men, but AI cannot report what motivated those 55 men to enlist freely.
Robots and AI, hands down, can do repetitive tasks more efficiently and effectively than humans can only dream of doing. Robots and AI have their place. What they are incapable of doing is creating random schemes that operate only at a human level. Yes, humans function at the highest of levels—levels AI were never programmed to achieve. Hence, AI simply is a reflection of the past and the synthesis of human feelings written by other humans.
“Lest we forget” is a heartfelt phrase used on Remembrance Day—I reverently use it now, lest we forget, Humans lead and are far superior to AI.
