The Expanding Possibility Space
For some time now, I have written about the possibilities enabled by convergent forces. In contemplating the trajectory of these forces, I captured my thoughts several years ago in a post on possibilities. My analysis at the time surfaced three overarching themes: Convergence, Acceleration, and the focal point of this discourse, Possibilities. The interplay of these themes drove me to consider a burst of possibilities, catalyzed by the converging forces and accelerating pace of change.
The discourse on purpose and possibilities finds resonance in the the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, serving as a compass for societal progress. Now, the burgeoning realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for social good can be instrumental in addressing formidable global challenges. The convergence of science, technology, geopolitics, economics, ethics, business, environment, and society emerges as the fulcrum for unlocking the full spectrum of possibilities. As science and technology race ahead, a window into possibilities emerges. We see examples every day. This video shows the capacity of GPT-4o to aid the blind.
