Christine Jowdy MBA, MFA The Economist wrote recently that soon AI will have the capability to destroy all life on the planet. I think that has to be controlled. Who should do the controlling is a difficult matter.

Powerful words from Bernie Sanders!

Emotional intelligence shows in how calmly you handle pressure and people.

Dr. Martha Boeckenfeld Open source matters here. It balances out power sitting in closed systems. If more people are going to shape what gets built, the tools need to be easier to access and work with. It keeps things from concentrating in too few hands.

Victoria Sterling I'm not sure I could be less interested, but thank you.

Thanks for sharing this. AI may boost individual output today while weakening worker bargaining power tomorrow, especially when specialized skills become easier to copy or replace.

Why do bad or crooked people get to control everything? Why does, egotistically selfish and evil intent determine the future? If we all know they are ill-willed, why can the corrupt not be destroyed and replaced with righteous people? Are there none available? Are being moral and being enormously wealthy with powerful mutually exclusive?

Justin Wright Emotional intelligence creates stronger teams because understanding reactions and emotions often improves decisions more than technical skills.

Dr. James G. R. Cronin Thanks James, appreciate the references. That’s very much the space my work sits in too. I tend to look at the structural side of things: how systems behave, drift, and end up producing these patterns in the first place. The ethical and labour angles you mention fit inside that bigger architecture, so it’s interesting to see the overlap.

Maria Turcan History often repeats itself with new resources. The pattern you described is exactly why the focus must move to who controls the systems. I have seen how quickly those windows close, leaving little room for others to participate. We need to be more aware of these shifts.

SUJOY BASAK That is the part many miss. A system never starts from zero. It usually reflects the incentives already in place, and AI is no exception. The real test is not only what it can do, but who it serves.

Thanks for sharing this.

Emotional intelligence is not just a soft skill. It is a system. I ran it through the CGOSTI Transformer. Here is the G output. Goal: Individuals consistently respond to people and situations with self-awareness, empathy and composure — building trust, resolving conflict and creating environments where others feel safe to contribute and grow. Every one of the eight behaviours you listed — empathy, trust, pausing before reacting, owning mistakes — are the Objectives and Tactics of that Goal in action. The system already exists. Most people just have not mapped it. 🔗 cgosti.mightyunits.com #CGOSTI #EmotionalIntelligence #EQ #MightyUnits #Clarity #Leadership #SystemsThinking #AI

Prashant K. Sahni Honestly one of the sharper takes in this thread. AI did not create the inefficiency, it just made it visible and gave companies a cleaner narrative to act on it.

This is a repeating pattern in the history of humanity. The powerful does not care about the fate of weaker. It is here to impose its ideas and its way of life. What can we as citizens can do is the question?

I'm glad OpenAI and the Vatican are in sync, but I'm skeptical of the AI corps or governments taking it to heart. The tech elite ignored the meaningful gesture among its own ranks: Three years ago the AI "community" put aside competition to craft and sign an open letter to slow development for humanity's sake. This encyclical is more than a warning, it's a call-to-action. Will it get into the right hands?

Shane Marotical you

Muskan Gupta Skilled people with AI move faster. AI without skilled people just moves expensively.

Ayush Ranjan Soni Authorization, accountability, and final call still sit with humans. The companies learning this the expensive way are just paying for a lesson that was always true.

This is something I have been at odds with for over 18 months. 140. Education, by contrast, is a long journey requiring patience, and therefore needs time for development and for engagement with reality beyond appearances. This is a fundamental issue because every technology shapes those who use it. Educating people about the use of AI, then, involves teaching them to decide when and for what purpose it ought not to be used. Every technology shapes those who use it. That is where educator pedagogical expertise matters. Those who are making the hard decisions are thoughtfully and carefully deploying AI, or any technology for that matter with no agenda other than that of improving student outcomes. Educator discernment involves cutting through the hype and ignoring the noise and there’s loads of it!
