"That's Good, no That's Bad"
We live in an era of paradoxes. We use so many time-saving technologies, yet we are busier than ever. There are new diet programs and medications, yet Americans are more obese than ever. Cars are safer, yet traffic fatalities are rising. It's so easy to travel, mingle, and socialize, yet people are lonelier than ever. It's never been easier to learn and research, yet reading, math and reasoning skills are declining.
All these trends are examples of "second level consequences." What happens much later, after the transformative technology gets widely adopted.
We've all heard the warnings and fears of runaway machine intelligence. Those ideas are scary and alarming. I'm more interested in AI's second level impact on the sales profession.
