It goes without saying that there is a lot of coverage and talk these days about AI, mostly those are talking about Artificial Intelligence. What if we challenge the accepted definition of AI? What if we instead pivot the pathway of thought toward a concept I call Awareness Intelligence.
Before we jump much further, let's go back to the beginning...the origins. The origin of the word awareness.
With roots that are Germanic, and come from the Old English:
wær meaning "wary, cautious"
Awareness can be something you notice, want to tell others about, or already know intuitively.
That is exactly where I want to direct the pathways of your thoughts for a moment or two. Or perhaps even the next conversation you have with someone on the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
What if, before we handed over our experiences and inquires over to an algorithm to offer us up randomized suggestions, we took time to delve inside?
What if we took time to to be wary and cautious of the upside down place where it is quiet and we can notice things?
What if we took time to speak from, not about, and told others the story that is weaving inside us that no machine can recount nor recreate?
What if we entertained the possibility that we already know all we need to know, and these volumes of knowing may not be accessible in our everyday patterns, positions, patriarchies and planetary alignments?
What if to understand the world and all that is artificial and intelligent, we merely need to increase our awareness?
Going inward expands your outward, going inward reveals your EVERWARD. Happy depthing, happy delving, happy wæring.
