We often ignore number number 1(show empathy).let's be full of empathy towards one another Justin Wright

Thank you so much Jabe Wilson

Correct, but it misses also a huge part of the problem.The ripples, the side effects of AI.The less we do, the less we are able to do.Evolution, in all its senses, comes from doing it, doing it again, doing more to eventually do it better.For all growing individuals, missing these learning curves imply... less learning, less knowledge, less abilities, less willingness, less .... but what better way to control people to get richer or more powerful one might say...So, AI (and first and foremost, there are may AIS, plural) is not bad by essence. Like any technology. It is how it is used that will differ.And like any technology it has its side effets, that must not be overlooked.

Oooh, thanks for sharing Abhishek Veeramalla

Amy Grace Oh yeah, that is something few knew about us, but we have enjoyed sharing. All the best wishes 🌸

Peter Sweeney I am slightly suspicious… 😅 And, it’s too bad because this document deserves to be read.

The practical part for businesses is less about what AI can do and more about who sets the rules for using it. If the controls sit with a small group, the benefits will follow that pattern too.

H. T í t í l ọ lá Ọ l ọ́ j ẹ́ dé , PhD Thank you. I hope you will enjoy diving into this text. From what I have picked up thus far, it resonates strongly with the work you do. Can’t wait to hear your take.

Thank you Clara, both for your thoughtful initial analysis, and for pointing out the issue regarding the volume of almost immediate responses. This is an important issue in itself which I've been reflecting on a lot recently.

Thanks Clara Hawking - agree, it's a document that requires reflection, and not an LLM generated summary, as I have seen in many newsletters. What is most outstanding from my perspective is rather the clear position against transhumanism and posthumanism (point 115 and 116). The following passage (The limit, the heart and the grandeur of the human person) - is a clear call to "Jerusalem" (i.e. re-building from scratch based in the guidance by God (or humanitiy in the most divine loving sense) vs. "Babel" (technomoloch highlander princple OBEY to the MASTER TECH). And I think this is the main tension, as a guard rail, and I am quite certain that not only the 1.4 billion Christinas will agree to it.

This is so so true but it also misses a huge part of the problem. What about the side effects of AI?

Emotional intelligence tends to get described as a personality trait when it is closer to a set of behaviours that either show up consistently or don't, particularly under pressure. Most managers who struggle with difficult conversations or keeping their reactions in check know what good looks like. The difficulty is doing it when the pressure is on and the instinct to react is stronger than the intention to pause. That is where most development programmes never quite get to.

Spot on. This highlights the exact inflection point in career progression that many organizations overlook. In HR, we often see technical high performers stumble when stepping into leadership roles because they try to solve human complexities with technical logic. High performance might get you noticed, but high EQ is what makes your leadership scalable. If we want to build resilient succession pipelines, evaluating and coaching for emotional maturity must become just as non-negotiable as tracking delivery metrics.

on my to-do list

Stephen, Timnit, Otti: A take you might like.

Clara I am with you on slow digesting this document. It should take weeks if not months, of being around different tables with different serious people who have dedicated their life force to thinking seriously about such things, and then formulate a clear understanding of what the Pope meant.

In the presentation a comparison was made with nuclear power, which has brought energy and tragedy. AI likewise has the two sides. Managing the two sides will probably be likewise a long term concerted struggle.

Aman indeed, and as with all the encyclicals, people often seem to overlook that they are rooted in trinitarian metaphysics rather than liberal epistemology. ;-)

Self-awareness is one of the highest ROI skills in business and relationships.

Admitting a mistake early sets the baseline for the whole team's culture. If the person in charge hides their missteps, everyone else starts hiding theirs, and that's how hidden bottlenecks compound.
