It is my belief AI will change human civilisation at paradigm-shifting level that the harnessing of fire did. It will do so both at the societal level, through the accelerated progress of science and technology as also in empowering the individual through services like Concierge Intelligence as outlined by me in a previous post. To realise this potential AI will need to go beyond seeking patterns in Big Data to gaining the agency to be curious, to explore and to be creative. This post is a musing on this possibility.
