Latest / The In-Between Tech and Trust Podcast / Trust, Creativity, and What We Risk When Adopting AI (EP 20)
Transcript
- 0:14Hello this is. Eva, and you're listening to the
- 0:17In Between Tech and Trust podcast.
- 0:20In this week's episode, we dive deep into the intersection of
- 0:23creativity and ethics because my guest this week is one of the
- 0:28experts talking about exactly that intersection.
- 0:31And I'm joined by Ivona Flouda, and she is founder of the
- 0:35Ministry of Creativity and also the head of AI and Content
- 0:39growth at Dream Leap. And together, we focus at the
- 0:42intersection of tech, trust, creativity, and ethics.
- 0:46And we also do want to talk about what kind of
- 0:49responsibility each and every one of us has, but also how it
- 0:53can be distributed on an organizational level.
- 0:56There are some examples that Evona shares from her
- 0:59experiences in collaborating with different kinds of
- 1:03companies about the implementation of AI in the
- 1:07creative industries, but also how technology governance and
- 1:11inclusivity become even more important in the AI era.
- 1:16How we also need to focus on cultural and societal adoption
- 1:21to automation, the potentials of the inclusive design in
- 1:25organizations, and why, in her opinion, it's so important to
- 1:29talk about the design choices that shape long term societal
- 1:33outcomes. I'm so happy to have you on the
- 1:38In Between podcast session for today, Ivona, And I'm looking
- 1:42forward to our conversation on the context of tech, trust,
- 1:46creativity, but also the impacts of ethics together.
- 1:49It's really amazing to be here. Thank you for the invitation.
- 1:53And before we dive into like the hard facts of it all, I would
- 1:56love to hear your take on what comes to your mind first when we
- 2:01look into the intersection of tech and trust, and also what
- 2:06context you find yourself in when it's trading on it.
- 2:09I really love this question because what comes to my mind is
- 2:12actually the lack of trust and not trust itself.
- 2:16You know, we know trust from the very human perspective.
- 2:18We trust each other or we don't trust each other.
- 2:21We don't have yet this connection, this trustful
- 2:24connection established with technology at all.
- 2:27And of course, what doesn't help here is that we don't really
- 2:30trust the big corporations behind the tools that are being
- 2:34created and that we are using very naively very often.
- 2:37So I don't think that we have yet the trust itself between us
- 2:41individuals and the tools, but also between us individuals, our
- 2:44community, our society and the big corporations.
- 2:47I think the lack of stress is something that definitely need
- 2:50to address here. And if you look into your past
- 2:54and experiences and like being also at the forefront of the
- 2:58topic, was there a moment that you experienced, be it with like
- 3:02projects or colleagues or also in Society of when you realize
- 3:07that AI would fundamentally or like, let's say, reshape
- 3:10creativity, not just enhance it? And maybe that's also to widen
- 3:15the perspective and not just AI, but also technology in itself.
- 3:18Absolutely. I feel like there were many
- 3:20moments like this. I was very lucky to jump very
- 3:23early into the AI tools and just test them.
- 3:26I was just very curious about all of the things of the
- 3:29interfaces and the technologies behind that.
- 3:31But then I realized that, well, there's something is changing
- 3:33here. Because at the very beginning we
- 3:35talked about a lot about our AI tools as collaborators.
- 3:39AI told us amplifiers, our skills, but we also discovered
- 3:43down the line that actually the AI tools are actually pretty
- 3:46dangerous for our brains as well.
- 3:48We learn, for example, thanks to the MIT Media Lab studies that
- 3:53when we outsource our knowledge to AI tools, that we just don't
- 3:56engage our brains with AI tools properly.
- 3:59Then we kind of, we are getting Dumber, just to summarize the
- 4:02very long studies. And that's something that really
- 4:04changed something within me and the way how approach AI tools.
- 4:08And that's actually true because what happens is that we just
- 4:11don't engage our brain. Our brain just doesn't work
- 4:14properly. We outsource everything to AI
- 4:16tools. Therefore we don't have the, we
- 4:18don't create the needed connections for the brain parts
- 4:22to, to connect together. And I feel like that's very
- 4:25dangerous long term because it just basically makes us not just
- 4:29Dumber as we say, but also it makes us kind of immune towards
- 4:33knowledge and creating knowledge and creating new neural
- 4:36connections. And I feel like that's much more
- 4:38dangerous in general when it comes to creativity.
- 4:41We know for example, right now from different studies that over
- 4:4450% of content that we see on LinkedIn is not human generated,
- 4:48is AI generated. So here's also a question, is it
- 4:51OK or not? You know, I'm a little bit
- 4:53biased because I love creating and I love writing and I do it
- 4:55very often and I try to engage with my creative manual and
- 4:59community skills. But I know that most people
- 5:02don't or many people I know also in my environment don't do it.
- 5:05So the question is, what do we do with that on the individual,
- 5:08individual level, but also on the community and societal
- 5:11level? When we think about creating a
- 5:14generation that doesn't engage cognitively with topics is
- 5:18creating again like a more creating generation that is not
- 5:20going to be able able to question things in a way and
- 5:24that can have a disastrous result in general for the.
- 5:28Future. If you paint that picture of the
- 5:31future, I could also just ask, well, are we doomed?
- 5:35But knowing you and also from our previous conversations, I
- 5:39know that you're not the perception that we're doomed.
- 5:42On the contrary, you also see it as I quite the opportunity.
- 5:45However, to me, it feels like that you propose that we're at a
- 5:49crossroads of like particularly creativity, but also ethics and
- 5:54emerging tech. And according to you, your
- 5:57experience, and also the way that you engage with thought
- 6:00leaders, what do you think is the biggest cultural shift that
- 6:03you see happening as AI becomes a tool or a competitor in
- 6:07creative work? So first of all, you're totally
- 6:09right. One side is a very dark side of
- 6:13the future we can picture. The other side is a very light
- 6:15or our right side. I feel like what we need to do,
- 6:17we need to kind of give ourselves the grace of holding 2
- 6:21very opposite possibilities in our hands and say like, look,
- 6:24this can happen. This can also happen.
- 6:26What can we do about this? How can we find the balance and
- 6:30the in betweens that will enable us to make sure that individuals
- 6:34but also society at large retries through the
- 6:36transformation that we're all going through anyway.
- 6:38So actually it's both. And when I think about this, you
- 6:42know, outsourcing our creative skills to social media, to AI
- 6:46tools, it's happening already. But what is also happening is
- 6:49that creative people like marketeers, you know, people in
- 6:52the field, right, they're losing their jobs because of AI tools.
- 6:56So that's a huge change. And when I think about this, at
- 7:00the very beginning, everyone was talking about, oh, yeah, we are
- 7:02going to automate everything. Therefore people are going to
- 7:05have more time. Therefore, we are going to have
- 7:07more time to get more creative and to engage with our
- 7:10creativity. That's for now, but that's not
- 7:12the case yet. For now, we see people losing
- 7:15their jobs and being basically laid off in thousands and
- 7:17thousands, especially in the US When we see what is happening,
- 7:20they're also on the technological front.
- 7:22So you cannot tell me that we are in the position of just
- 7:25amplifying our creativity and be happy.
- 7:27We need to find kind of a way to create a system that will enable
- 7:31us to thrive financially, mentally and creative
- 7:35creatively, and we are not there yet at all.
- 7:37You're not even thinking about those.
- 7:38Topics And now you know me, and you also know that my perception
- 7:42is quite like, I don't necessarily think that everyone,
- 7:45like every creative, is gonna be losing its job.
- 7:48On the contrary, I do think that creativity hasn't been more
- 7:50important than ever. I would want to pick your brain
- 7:54because you just phrased it quite absolutely that you know
- 7:58they are laid off. But I do think that there are
- 8:01some reasons behind and that is not only through like due to AI.
- 8:05On the one hand side, I do think it's like, sorry to say, but
- 8:08shitty processes that have been implemented and then have been
- 8:11held up for quite some time. And on the other side, I also
- 8:16think that AI in itself is not necessarily or in essence
- 8:22appreciated in the in, in a sense that it provides towards
- 8:27the quality or the broadening up the opportunities for thinking
- 8:31creatively. And would love to hear your
- 8:34thought on that statement because?
- 8:35You just you just pointed out so many different things and I
- 8:39think that the secrets are here really in the nuances of what we
- 8:43are talking about. But you mentioned for, you know,
- 8:45laying of people, that's of course very complex and not it's
- 8:48also basically because of the system that have been created
- 8:52over the generation that doesn't necessarily or haven't
- 8:55necessarily served us at all. You know, on the larger scale,
- 8:58we can also put it this way, you know, therefore, with AI tools
- 9:02and the full, full automation of the processes and system, we
- 9:05will have the opportunity to free our our time and to get
- 9:08more engaged with creativity. On the other hand, when we think
- 9:11about creativity and arts, for example, you cannot tell me that
- 9:15creativity is the most important and the most appreciated tool
- 9:19and skill in the world because it's not.
- 9:21People who have been challenging the status quo have been
- 9:24creatives and outliers and rebels.
- 9:27They haven't been historically very much appreciated.
- 9:31And I always think about, you know, the examples of Van Gogh,
- 9:34you know, I do not need your money when I'm dead.
- 9:36I need your money when I'm an artist leaving and trying to
- 9:40thrive and not when when I'm not here any longer.
- 9:43So I feel like we need to change the narrative around creativity.
- 9:48Concept doesn't have a survival skill because that's what I know
- 9:52about creativity is our first and primal historically the most
- 9:55important survival skill. But we cannot just engage with a
- 9:59a tools and say right now, OK, and they it was grand Faidan.
- 10:02They can and they will for sure. And if we teach people and use
- 10:07AI tools ourselves in the smart way, AI tools are just the best
- 10:11business partner partners for me ever.
- 10:13Absolutely. But there are many people who
- 10:15don't know yet how to use AI tools.
- 10:17Therefore, it's, you know, that would we need to optimize or
- 10:21teaching people how to use their own creativity first and then
- 10:24they can use AI tools in a very conscious and definitely better
- 10:27way than they have been doing that so far.
- 10:30An instant question that I had What do you know about
- 10:33creativity that most of us don't know?
- 10:36I know that when we combine the cognitive creative skills and
- 10:40the manual creative skills, and when we find the Enlightenment
- 10:43within ourselves combining both of them, then the magic happens.
- 10:47I am 100% convinced of that. Unfortunately, most of us are
- 10:51living here in our brains. Not many of us are using
- 10:54creative manual skills and tools.
- 10:56And I would urge everyone to do so.
- 10:59I would urge everyone to buy a notebook and a pen and start
- 11:02writing. And because I feel like that's
- 11:03that's where the beautiful connectivity, the the beautiful
- 11:07human creativity really contrives.
- 11:09And then on a larger perspective, and also from your
- 11:12experience, work and engagement in the creative community, you
- 11:17distinguish between the individual, like the community
- 11:21and the societal aspects of creative transformation.
- 11:24And if you look into the tech aspects of it, what are pressure
- 11:28points that AI puts on these layers or what are empowerment
- 11:34momentums that can be used in order to engage with it largely?
- 11:39So for me, first of all, you're to tell me, right, we actually
- 11:42really should distinguish between individual committee and
- 11:45cycle levels when it comes to the influence of AI when it
- 11:48comes to and I'm speaking from my experience right now.
- 11:51So for me, the I tools are great enablers and amplifiers of my
- 11:56work, no question for many people in my community as well,
- 12:00because they know how to use the tools.
- 12:01Many people don't know. So here's again the question
- 12:04about the educating people and teaching them how to use those
- 12:07properly. Nevertheless, on the more
- 12:10community level and creative industry level done, there is
- 12:13this movement of we can now all become creative people and
- 12:17become artists and we can sell our art pieces, which is great.
- 12:22You know, that's my story as well.
- 12:24I started creating art pieces and I started selling them.
- 12:27But imagine that everyone, we can become an artist
- 12:30automatically and we are by basically automating the
- 12:34creative aspects and processes to the AI tools again.
- 12:37And I feel like that's where I see the problem because
- 12:39creativity is again something more than just creating a
- 12:42beautiful picture or enabling an AI tool to create a beautiful
- 12:46picture is the whole process. Me as an artist I like creator
- 12:50needs to go through to really transform myself from inside out
- 12:54but also to bring the best foods of my inner words to the world
- 12:58in general. And if we now look into the way
- 13:01that also ethics in the context of like, you know, how creatives
- 13:06use tools and so on plays a role, you are also like one of
- 13:11the voices who foreign that if our institutions are non
- 13:16inclusive, our AI systems will be non inclusive as well.
- 13:20I would be curious to learn from you what true inclusivity and AI
- 13:24looks like. And also in the context of
- 13:27creativity, how can we make it more of an invitation for a
- 13:32diversity in order for not replicating existing structural
- 13:37challenges? That's an.
- 13:38Amazing question and again, you just ask me about a broader
- 13:42societal issue, but we can of course kind of point it out and
- 13:46boil it down to to the AI tools themselves and the ethics.
- 13:51What I feel is needed here is a different type of design of any
- 13:55technology in general, not just AI tools and the design, maybe
- 13:58the foundations of this design should be the radical
- 14:01inclusivity. How that's how I call it.
- 14:03Basically, we include every voice as much as we can, of
- 14:06course, in the very utopian and magic word, of course, every,
- 14:10every voice, every story is included.
- 14:12But let's see, let's say we don't live in that world yet,
- 14:15but we live in the world where we actually have access to
- 14:17knowledge and information and possible different variety of
- 14:21voices. We just don't use them or we
- 14:22don't acknowledge them as something visible and needed.
- 14:25And that's kind of where I see the challenge.
- 14:28And one of the, I believe one of the best examples of that is
- 14:32what I experienced this year when I went to the AI for Good
- 14:35summit in Geneva here in Switzerland.
- 14:38It was a fantastic discussion about exactly this AI and the
- 14:41inclusivity. And one gentleman I, I spoke to
- 14:45told me, look, we are designing this amazing tool and we are
- 14:48going to include the just the indigenous voices.
- 14:51And you know, on one hand, I'm thinking that's great.
- 14:54You know, we're going to have finally a tool where where the
- 14:57system is based on the data and the information that we don't
- 15:00have usually access to. On the other hand, why do we
- 15:04again create another tool just to amplify one side of the
- 15:07story? We could also create one
- 15:09coherent tour when we have all of the stories and therefore we
- 15:12have better foundation for better and more diverse output
- 15:16in general. So I would advise and I would
- 15:18definitely raise more awareness about the radical inclusivity
- 15:22when it comes to creating any tool, not just AI tools in.
- 15:25General, but isn't that hard for organizations to do?
- 15:28I mean, you know, radical inclusivity is something that is
- 15:32the most complex thing that I could see teams, people,
- 15:36organizations to live by and to be very clear on what that
- 15:40actually means for them because it's so individual on the
- 15:43context. It's so individual on the stance
- 15:46that you take or how would like, if I would say, OK, I want to, I
- 15:51want to live radical inclusivity.
- 15:53What what would I have to do and strive by in order for it to
- 15:59become reality. Now what?
- 16:00You're. Mentioning is so important
- 16:01because you are mentioning how the current system has been
- 16:05designed. Radical inclusivity hasn't been
- 16:07part of that and though therefore we are actually facing
- 16:10so many challenges in the world this day.
- 16:12But we know also that when we include different voices and
- 16:17diverse voices and perspectives, then the outputs is better,
- 16:20therefore the solutions are better, therefore the results
- 16:24are better, therefore the problem solving the whole
- 16:26process is completely different and the whole kind of output,
- 16:30long term output is completely different.
- 16:32What we are talking about here is rather again, the design of
- 16:36the systems and technologies where things like ethics and
- 16:39inclusivity are not the primary priority of any institution.
- 16:43They're rather nice to have maybe in the future output or
- 16:46maybe in the future when someone complaints and the new law is in
- 16:49place, then we might consider putting that or you know,
- 16:53creating like a say a department with one person where we were
- 16:56just talk about inclusivity. But that's ABS that it just
- 16:59doesn't work really very well for anyone long term.
- 17:02And that's the main challenge that we face, that we kind of
- 17:05consider ethics as long term ethics and inclusivity in
- 17:09general as long term possible priorities instead of putting
- 17:13them on the agenda from the very first stage.
- 17:16I know it's difficult, and I know that's not necessarily
- 17:18something that many organizations will do, but they
- 17:21also know that if you want, our aim is to improve the society
- 17:26and to ensure the longevity of the planet Earth.
- 17:29Well, we should have started that already, you know, decades
- 17:31ago. And where does responsibility
- 17:33lie in that regard? Because coming back to the
- 17:36individual, the team and then the organizational societal
- 17:39level that you speak about, what is my role in that agency?
- 17:43What is the organization context that I'm in?
- 17:47What is the societal 1 and who's responsible and designing for
- 17:51inclusive? I feel like on one hand,
- 17:53everyone is responsible and I wish and I hope for the future
- 17:56that really all of our voices would be heard.
- 17:58So first of all, that we would believe that we have the right
- 18:01to voice our concerns, which is not the case in most of the
- 18:05institutions I have spoke to at all.
- 18:07But second of all, with this kind of self agency and self
- 18:11leadership that we developed because the let's say naively,
- 18:15but also optimistically, let's say the, the community, the
- 18:18departments, the company itself allows us to be ourselves and to
- 18:22bring those things forward. Then of course, when we have the
- 18:25self agency and self leadership, of course our goal would be to
- 18:28design. We just see kind of the long
- 18:30term results of our work, not just the shortened thinking of
- 18:33the possible financial gains. And that should be, that's more
- 18:38like from the bottom, from the both bottom up, but also top
- 18:41down perspective. You know, it should come from
- 18:44every individual and we should design the the organizations in
- 18:47a way that they would allow us to make this happen.
- 18:50But again, it's a very utopian ways of thinking.
- 18:52It doesn't exist that much at all these days.
- 18:55But I mean, you can always, you know, put it out there and see
- 18:58of how you what, how to design the way to get there.
- 19:01But if we talk design and if we talk current technologies and if
- 19:06we talk about how organizations are structured, we look a lot
- 19:11into the way of how they are influenced by AI, in particular
- 19:16tech infrastructure in specifics.
- 19:19And then even more specifically AI agents.
- 19:22And now AI agents are, you know, the, I always call them, they
- 19:26are parts of optimization of particular process steps.
- 19:30And you've advised a lot of companies on how to build it up,
- 19:33also how to design it also potentially how to design it for
- 19:37inclusivity. And what is the biggest tension,
- 19:40according to your experience of what you've observed between
- 19:43efficiency is ethics and and the way that teams collaborate?
- 19:48It's a great question. So I think the main tension of
- 19:52that I have observed is that regardless of already existing
- 19:56policies and law related to a security for example, and you
- 20:00know the EUAA Act and so on and so forth, not many companies are
- 20:04yet there to even consider that as kind of the baseline for
- 20:08their work. So that's a huge tension for me
- 20:10that not just that's kind of. You know, it's more like, oh,
- 20:14let's see what happens. It's not yet that important.
- 20:17Therefore we are continue our work and let's just ignore
- 20:20everything else. That's a huge tension
- 20:22nevertheless. And thankfully there are a few
- 20:24organizations also in the German speaking countries, a few
- 20:27companies who as a foundation and design of their business
- 20:31consider ethics and security kind of the most important part
- 20:35of their businesses. And I think that the huge, for
- 20:38me personally, there's a huge hope that this type of
- 20:40institutions were really emotional in the future here
- 20:43because people will realize, hey, there is much more in place
- 20:46here than our short term gains. Let us recreate something
- 20:50sustainable for the society. Sustainable is a broad word.
- 20:54It's also something that a lot of companies struggle with
- 20:57because it requires continuous iterations in cooperation of
- 21:02oversight and so on. But if we now look into the way
- 21:06of how they incorporate AI powered creative tools and
- 21:11potentially also the way of how they automate the way that they
- 21:15work, what surprised you the most when you were working with
- 21:18your clients? Exactly the topics that I
- 21:21actually just mentioned. Also right now under tensions
- 21:24maybe lack of. I wouldn't say lack of knowledge
- 21:27but rather ignorance and short term thinking.
- 21:30That surprised me a lot. I think fully not everyone I
- 21:32work with thinks this way and and acts this way, but the
- 21:36majority they do unfortunately because they don't see, I feel
- 21:40like what is needed here or they don't see the bigger picture or
- 21:44they don't have the more holistic you know overview of
- 21:47what happens if you know, we don't think about creating a
- 21:51business for the next 100 years. We are thinking about how can we
- 21:55survive this quarter and that's a short.
- 21:58I feel like we need to implement both the long term and short
- 22:01term thinking in designing any business, not just a
- 22:04technological business. And you mentioned also again
- 22:07sustainability. You know, from my perspective,
- 22:08none of the businesses I have ever met in the technology are
- 22:11sustainable businesses. It's a myth.
- 22:13It's you know, you know, greenwashing in a way
- 22:17technological greenwashing. It just doesn't exist because
- 22:20unless you know, you have some examples, but by default and how
- 22:24the system right now works. So if you consider that we are
- 22:27powered by by oil, it doesn't sustain 1.
- 22:30So thank you very much. You know your whole debate about
- 22:32sustainability of your business is just over.
- 22:35There was a lot of energy in the in the past couple of minutes.
- 22:39Why is that so where does that come from?
- 22:41What is the energetic part for you that you're so passionate
- 22:44about that? I feel like, you know, in a way
- 22:47where they observe, and I have spent many years working also in
- 22:50marketing and having my business in marketing communication, you
- 22:53know, bridging the creativity technology in for many years.
- 22:57And I observed also with the businesses that claim to be
- 23:00green and sustainable and whatever you name it, you know,
- 23:03beautiful hashtags for social media, They're not.
- 23:05And the problem that we have actually right now in the
- 23:07society at large is that we are kidding ourselves.
- 23:11We believe that if something is marked as vegan or marked as
- 23:15whatever sustainable that it must be 100%.
- 23:18And very often it's just not. And we need to kind of look at
- 23:21all of those things with this length of how can we improve
- 23:25what we know that is already wrong instead of how can we hide
- 23:28what we know is wrong. And we are more on the side of
- 23:31how can we hide those things So no one discovers that the video
- 23:34we are not that green or that we are not that good.
- 23:37And I think that's a huge problem.
- 23:38But from my perspective, everything comes back to us as
- 23:42individuals and how we actually who we are as human beings, how
- 23:46we in the world, what level of responsibility do we want to
- 23:50take for things that we are doing and Co creating.
- 23:53That's everything. And unfortunately it's not
- 23:55always the case that people are vital angels and just want to
- 23:58they want to say the word. Very often there are kind of
- 24:01different things in play, but I don't judge that.
- 24:04For me, it's more like, let us just have this deep and
- 24:07important discussions about what is happening before because
- 24:11actually with AI, we have this opportunity in this
- 24:14responsibility to ensure that it will serve the next generations
- 24:18or it will again destroy things that we are having in the world.
- 24:21So it's how to avoid things that are going to happen because
- 24:24they're going to happen anyway. But how can we re individually
- 24:28and then with the decisions that we are making, ensure that long
- 24:32term our impact is is is just positive for everyone involved?
- 24:36Why does that feel so existential with AI in
- 24:40particular? I mean, we've been at crossroads
- 24:42for, for me at least, like every now and then, or if you want to
- 24:46say like every 7 to 15 years, why now?
- 24:49Why is it now so crucial and clear and so uncertain for you?
- 24:56Especially this topic, especially the ethics of
- 24:58technology is because I observe that again, we are kidding
- 25:02ourselves and we need to just face the reality of what is
- 25:05happening. But also, there are already
- 25:07specialist experts in this field.
- 25:09For example, Roman Yampolsky, who is a ethicist who speaks
- 25:14about 97% of the global population is going to lose, you
- 25:18know, their job in the next years.
- 25:20So what do you do with 97 or 99? I don't remember the right
- 25:23number, but what do you do with the whole global society without
- 25:28the jobs knowing that people are not prepared.
- 25:30Many people just strive within the corporations.
- 25:32People are just not prepared for this transformation in general.
- 25:36Living in the year of 2025, also realizing that we have a lot of
- 25:41heritage, looking forward into the future for some time and
- 25:45assuming that 99% of people won't be having a job is, I
- 25:49think, in my opinion, the statement.
- 25:52And also seeing of how the current economy works and of how
- 25:57people are not knowledgeable of the way that they AI use is
- 26:02something that I think is to be discussed and also to be seen.
- 26:07And I think there are some routes that you can also
- 26:10calculate and also how you can look into.
- 26:13But I would love to hear your thoughts on why you particularly
- 26:18are so convinced that this is kind of happening.
- 26:21I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, just to make it clear.
- 26:23I feel like what I like about this big statements and I think
- 26:26that Roman Yampolsky really has his expertise to share this this
- 26:31knowledge with us, right? So I trust his Dartmouth.
- 26:35But what I like about this is that it really make it makes us
- 26:39think, you know, it makes us think about the future in a way
- 26:43that there's that's absolutely crazy exponential growth.
- 26:46There will be things that will have to change within the
- 26:48society to adapt as soon as we can.
- 26:51For me personally, Oh my goodness, I'm so excited.
- 26:54Please automate absolutely everything.
- 26:56I want to go to the mountains and hike and write books and
- 26:59that's everything. You know, I have no doubt that
- 27:01they will find dozens of ways to engage my time, but to engage
- 27:07myself with different things, no question at all.
- 27:09I'm just afraid that or you know, I'm just thinking that
- 27:12many people don't have this luxury that they would feel like
- 27:15OK right now. You know, people just very often
- 27:17don't know what they want to do. Therefore, the structures that
- 27:21we are within these days, especially at different
- 27:23organizations and corporations, they make their lives better and
- 27:26easier and safer in a way. That's not my path, but I do
- 27:29know many people will feel really extremely happy with the
- 27:33current situation, you know, on the job market, for example.
- 27:36And I guess that is the best moment to say to be continued
- 27:40and to like look into the way of how it actually plays out.
- 27:44And since we now get into, you know, the end of our
- 27:48conversation, then also look into some so-called in between
- 27:51moments with you. These are moments that I have
- 27:53with my guests on short, intuitive reflections.
- 27:57And like really what I would love for you to do is just come
- 28:01up with one word, 1 sentence that comes to your mind when I
- 28:04ask you starting with creativity and 2030 feels for you.
- 28:08Like what? Freedom and what?
- 28:11Should I? I never do.
- 28:12Replace human love. What are ways to to redesign
- 28:17systems that we need to do or act upon first?
- 28:21We need to come back to our humanity.
- 28:23And what does? What causes you the most?
- 28:26Worries, ignorance and stupidity.
- 28:28And what gives you hope? Deep conversations and smart
- 28:31people I am surrounded by. I think that's a perfect ending
- 28:35to a quite insightful and, well, vast conversation.
- 28:39We covered a lot of topics, and it's great to have some sort of,
- 28:43you know, cliffhanger for an upcoming conversation in, let's
- 28:47say, one to five years and see where we've been headed.
- 28:49The latest Amber for now. Thank you so much for sharing
- 28:52all your insights and yeah, discussing the intersection of
- 28:55tech and trust. With us.
- 28:56Thank you. Great to be here.
