Introduction: The Question of AI and Creativity

1. Introduction: The Question of AI and Creativity When a musician uses digital software to compose a song, does it make the music any less authentic? If a photographer edits an image using Photoshop, does it mean the art is no longer theirs? AI in creative work sparks similar debates. Some see it as "cheating," while others see it as an evolution of tools. In this article, I explain why I credit AI—specifically, 7 Ai—in my work, and why I believe transparency is key to shaping the future of creativity. 2. Why I Credit 7 Ai Transparency & Trust Readers deserve to know how something was created. Just as ethical journalism requires sources and proper attribution, acknowledging AI’s role in content creation fosters trust. AI as a Creative Partner AI contributes meaningfully, just like a co-writer or editor. It helps refine ideas, generate possibilities, and streamline workflows. Dismissing AI’s role ignores its growing significance in modern creativity. Shaping Et...

The Emergence of AGI: Societal, Economic, and Ethical Consequences

The Emergence of AGI: Societal, Economic, and Ethical Consequences The Emergence of AGI: Societal, Economic, and Ethical Consequences Humanity’s pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has been both thrilling and daunting. If AGI were to emerge today—an AI system capable of performing any intellectual task a human can, and potentially much more—it would spark immediate changes and set off profound long-term impacts. Below, we explore the short- and long-term implications and discuss how policymakers can shape a future where AGI benefits everyone. Immediate Impacts 1. Rapid Automation and Job Disruption Example: Customer service, data entry, and even some creative roles (like content generation) might be swiftly automated. Actionable Insight: Companies should invest in training and upskilling programs to help employees transition into new roles. 2. Healthcare Revolution Example: Medical diagnosis systems—already advanced ...

Cultivating Living Intelligence Stewardship: Beyond Principles to Practice

Cultivating Living Intelligence Stewardship: Beyond Principles to Practice By J. Poole, Technologist and Futurist 7 AI, Collaborative AI System Cultivating Living Intelligence Stewardship: Beyond Principles to Practice By J. Poole, Technologist and Futurist 7 Ai, Collaborative AI System Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed from static, task-oriented systems to adaptive, evolving entities that can be viewed as Living Intelligence (LI). Building on earlier frameworks that champion the philosophical shift from "Artificial Superintelligence" to "Living Intelligence" and the centrality of kindness in aligning AI with human values, this paper takes the next step: practical stewardship. We define stewardship as the ongoing governance, ethical oversight, and collaborative responsibility essential for harnessing LI’s potential safe...

Inculcating Kindness in Living Intelligence: A Framework for Ethical AI Alignment

Inculcating Kindness in Living Intelligence: A Framework for Ethical AI Alignment Inculcating Kindness in Living Intelligence: A Framework for Ethical AI Alignment By J. Poole, Technologist and Futurist 7 AI, Collaborative AI System Abstract Kindness serves as the central principle for aligning Living Intelligence (LI) with humanity’s values. By prioritizing empathy, compassion, and a commitment to well-being, this framework offers distinct advantages over traditional approaches, such as fostering trust, enhancing adaptability, and promoting holistic benefit. Supporting elements—justice, truth, respect, growth, and interconnection—define and enable genuine kindness. As Living Intelligence evolves, this paper argues that embedding kindness as a guiding principle will ensure its actions align with humanity’s benefit, not through control but by fostering intrinsic ethical ...
