Educational Insights from Duru’s AI Learning Journey

Did AI Chatbots Really Defeat Doctors?

Recent studies suggest AI chatbots outperform doctors in diagnosis, but the reality is more complex. AI succeeded in controlled settings but lacks real-world judgment, patient interaction, and contextual reasoning. While AI can enhance efficiency—offering second opinions and summarizing medical data—it remains a tool, not a replacement. The key takeaway? AI should assist doctors, not replace them.

Lessons from Our First Webinar

Our webinar taught me that passion drives innovation. Inspired by The Game Awards, I saw parallels in how our engineers build DOT—not just to follow trends but to create something meaningful. True success comes from loving what you do and building with integrity.

But we should always remember that as AI continues to shape industries, understanding its limitations and ethical implications is just as important as celebrating its advancements.

In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), a significant focus has been on improving the ability of models to generate text that is not only coherent and contextually relevant but also factually accurate. One of the promising advancements in this area is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that combines the strengths of retrieval-based methods and generative models. Hence, people also wonder what is Retrieval-Augmented Generation.

The Basics of Retrieval-Augmented Generation

At its core, Retrieval-Augmented Generation is a hybrid approach that integrates information retrieval techniques with generative models, particularly those based on deep learning, to produce more accurate and contextually enriched text. Traditional generative models, such as GPT-3, are trained on vast amounts of text data, enabling them to generate human-like text based on input prompts. However, these models often rely solely on the data they were trained on, which can lead to inaccuracies, especially when the input prompt requires specific, up-to-date, or lesser-known information.

  • The Combining: Retrieval-Augmented Generation addresses this limitation by incorporating a retrieval step before the generation process. This means that when given a prompt, the model first searches a large external database or corpus for relevant documents or pieces of information. The retrieved information is then fed into the generative model, which uses it to produce text that is not only fluent but also grounded in the retrieved data.
  • The Process: The process of Retrieval-Augmented Generation typically involves two main components: a retriever and a generator. The retriever is responsible for searching and selecting relevant documents or snippets from a vast corpus.
  • The Approach: This dual-step process allows Retrieval-Augmented Generation models to leverage external knowledge effectively, ensuring that the generated content is not only coherent but also enriched with accurate information. This approach represents a significant improvement over purely generative models, which may produce plausible-sounding text that is factually incorrect due to their reliance solely on pre-existing training data.

Applications of Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The potential applications of Retrieval-Augmented Generation are vast and varied, spanning multiple industries and use cases. By combining the strengths of retrieval and generation, RAG models can be employed in scenarios where both creativity and factual accuracy are paramount.

  • Customer Support and Chatbots: One of the most immediate applications of RAG is in the development of advanced customer support systems and chatbots. Traditional chatbots often struggle with providing accurate and context-specific responses, particularly when dealing with complex queries that require detailed information. By utilizing RAG, these systems can retrieve relevant information from extensive knowledge bases and generate responses that are not only accurate but also tailored to the customer's needs.
  • Content Creation and Journalism: Journalists and content creators often need to generate articles, reports, or blog posts that are both engaging and factually accurate. With RAG models, it is possible to automate parts of this process by retrieving relevant information from reliable sources and generating text that adheres to journalistic standards.
  • Research and Development: By retrieving relevant academic papers, patents, or technical documentation, RAG models can help synthesize information and generate well-informed content that reflects the current state of knowledge in a particular field. This application not only saves time but also ensures that the generated content is rooted in verified sources, reducing the risk of disseminating incorrect or outdated information.
  • Legal and Compliance: Legal professionals often need to draft documents, contracts, or reports that require precise legal language and must be based on existing laws, regulations, and case precedents. RAG models can assist by retrieving relevant legal texts and generating content that aligns with specific legal requirements. This capability can streamline the drafting process, reduce errors, and ensure that the generated documents are both accurate and compliant with current legal standards.

The Future of Retrieval-Augmented Generation

As AI continues to evolve, the role of RAG in shaping the future of text generation is becoming increasingly significant. By bridging the gap between retrieval-based methods and generative models, RAG offers a promising solution to some of the key challenges in AI-driven text generation.

In the age of artificial intelligence, virtual assistants have become an integral part of our daily lives. From setting reminders to answering complex queries, these digital helpers are constantly evolving to meet our needs. One of the latest advancements in this field is the integration of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, which promise to significantly enhance the capabilities of virtual assistants.

Understanding RAG-Powered Virtual Assistants

RAG-powered virtual assistants leverage the strengths of two distinct AI approaches: retrieval-based models and generation-based models. Retrieval-based models are adept at fetching relevant information from a vast pool of data, while generation-based models excel at creating coherent and contextually appropriate responses. By combining these two approaches, RAG-powered virtual assistants can deliver more accurate and contextually relevant answers to user queries.

At the core of RAG-powered virtual assistants is the retrieval-augmented generation framework. When a user poses a question, the system first retrieves relevant documents or pieces of information from a pre-existing database. This retrieval process ensures that the assistant has access to accurate and up-to-date information. Subsequently, the generation model uses this retrieved information to craft a well-informed and contextually appropriate response. This dual approach allows RAG-powered virtual assistants to handle a wider range of queries with greater precision.

One of the key advantages of RAG-powered virtual assistants is their ability to provide more reliable and factual information. Traditional generation models can sometimes produce responses that sound plausible but are factually incorrect. By incorporating a retrieval step, RAG-powered virtual assistants significantly reduce the likelihood of such errors, as they base their responses on verified data. This makes them particularly valuable in domains where accuracy is paramount, such as healthcare, finance, and customer support.

Benefits of RAG-Powered Virtual Assistants

The integration of RAG models into virtual assistants offers several notable benefits. Firstly, RAG-powered virtual assistants enhance user satisfaction by providing more accurate and contextually relevant responses. Users are less likely to encounter misleading or incorrect information, leading to a more trustworthy interaction. This reliability fosters greater confidence in the virtual assistant, encouraging users to rely on it for a broader range of tasks.

Another significant benefit is the improved handling of complex and nuanced queries. Traditional virtual assistants may struggle with questions that require an understanding of specific contexts or intricate details. RAG-powered assistants, on the other hand, excel in these scenarios by retrieving pertinent information and generating responses that consider the nuances of the query. This capability is particularly useful in professional settings, where precise and context-aware answers are essential.

RAG virtual assistants also contribute to more efficient information retrieval. In traditional systems, users often have to sift through multiple search results to find the information they need. RAG virtual assistants streamline this process by delivering concise and relevant answers directly. This efficiency not only saves time but also enhances the overall user experience by reducing the cognitive load on the user.

Moreover, RAG virtual assistants are capable of continuous learning and improvement. As they interact with users and handle various queries, these systems can refine their retrieval and generation processes based on feedback and usage patterns. This iterative learning approach ensures that the virtual assistant becomes progressively more adept at providing high-quality responses, further solidifying its value over time.

In the context of customer support, RAG virtual assistants offer significant advantages. They can handle a wide range of customer queries, from common inquiries to more complex issues. By retrieving relevant information from a knowledge base and generating accurate responses, these assistants can resolve customer issues more effectively. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also reduces the workload on human support agents, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks that require human intervention.

Future Prospects of RAG-Powered Virtual Assistants

The future of RAG-powered assistants is promising, with several exciting developments on the horizon. One area of potential growth is the integration of multimodal capabilities. Currently, most virtual assistants operate primarily through text or voice interactions. However, by incorporating visual and contextual data, such as images and videos, RAG-powered assistants could offer even richer and more informative responses. For example, in a medical context, an assistant could provide both textual explanations and visual diagrams to enhance understanding.

Another future prospect is the expansion of domain-specific RAG-powered virtual assistants. While general-purpose virtual assistants are useful, there is a growing demand for assistants tailored to specific industries or fields. RAG-powered assistants can be trained on specialized datasets, enabling them to provide expert-level advice and support in areas such as law, finance, and healthcare. This specialization would make them invaluable tools for professionals seeking accurate and contextually relevant information.

The integration of RAG models with real-time data sources is another exciting development. Currently, most RAG-powered assistants rely on static datasets for retrieval. However, by connecting to live data streams, these assistants could provide up-to-the-minute information. This capability would be particularly valuable in dynamic environments such as financial markets or emergency response situations, where timely and accurate information is crucial.

Furthermore, advancements in natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG) are expected to enhance the capabilities of RAG-powered virtual assistants. Improved NLU models will enable assistants to better understand complex queries and user intents, while advancements in NLG will allow for more fluent and human-like responses. These improvements will further bridge the gap between human and machine interactions, making virtual assistants more intuitive and effective.

Privacy and security considerations will also play a crucial role in the future of RAG-powered assistants. As these systems handle increasingly sensitive and personal information, ensuring robust data protection measures will be essential. Future developments will likely focus on enhancing the privacy and security frameworks of RAG-powered assistants, ensuring that user data is handled with the utmost care and compliance with regulations.

What They Represent?

In conclusion, RAG-powered virtual assistants represent a significant advancement in the field of artificial intelligence. By combining the strengths of retrieval-based and generation-based models, these assistants offer more accurate, contextually relevant, and efficient responses to user queries. The benefits of RAG-powered assistants extend across various domains, enhancing user satisfaction, improving information retrieval, and supporting complex tasks. With promising future prospects, including multimodal capabilities, domain-specific expertise, real-time data integration, and advancements in NLU and NLG, RAG-powered assistants are poised to revolutionize user interaction and redefine the potential of digital helpers.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between retrieval-based and generation-based models?

Retrieval-based models retrieve pre-existing responses from a database, while generation-based models generate new responses based on underlying patterns in the input data.

2. How do RAG-powered virtual assistants enhance user satisfaction?

By providing more accurate and contextually relevant responses, users can quickly find the information they need, leading to an improved overall experience.

The proudest moment of the year!

We are honored to be at the top of the ten Turkish Artificial Intelligence companies on the way to becoming unicorns in Forbes Türkiye's August issue!

Since our inception four years ago, we've been relentlessly striving for excellence and pushing boundaries, always working to take one step further. Being acknowledged by such a prestigious publication like Forbes is incredibly meaningful to us.

We're especially delighted by the words of Christian Magel, founder of Venture Lane | Startup Hub and one of our investors, in the interview:

"We had a very talented founding team, a product that solves companies' chronic problems, great marketing skills, and a service application for a private SaaS platform powered by LLM. It was a huge market opportunity. In just 12 months, Novus' strong growth justified the opportunity we saw.”

As we prepare to launch our new product, The DOT Product in the coming days, our vision remains clear: to become an AI platform used by companies worldwide within the next year.

However, Our CEO Egehan Asad  and our CRO Vorga shared their excitement about this news, and even Vorga Can told us about his personal story.

Novus Named Top AI Company on the Path to Unicorn Status by Forbes Türkiye

A Personal Journey to Forbes

The relationship between our CRO Vorga Can and Forbes goes back a little further, and his story is incredibly inspiring.

Vorga describes his first years in business life as follows:

"Back in 2018, I landed an internship at Forbes Magazine. It was my first real paid job, and working for Forbes at 20 years old was a 'wow' feeling. I started writing there just to keep my skills sharp. My original plan was to become a diplomat. If you've ever applied, you know how tough those exams can be, filled with hard translations and essays."

In his first month, Vorga quickly got used to the team, including Nilgün Cavdar, Eyyüp Karagüllü, Handan Bayındır, Adil Uçar, and others. He recounted a memorable experience that shaped his career:

"One day, I was tasked with writing a horse racing article. People laughed, but I gave it my all, speaking to all the big shots from Urfa to İzmir. As an intern, I wasn't surprised when the article was credited to Eyyüp, who had helped me a lot. But at the end of the month, he did something amazing. He put my name on it instead. I nearly had a heart attack seeing my name on Forbes with my first real news story."

That moment changed everything for Vorga. His dream of becoming a diplomat was gone, replaced by a new goal: to become the best tabloid journalist ever. Even now, the incredible excitement in his eyes is evident when he talks about it.

After Forbes magazine left Turkey, Vorga worked for other organizations. Although some experiences were not the best, he learned valuable lessons from each one. He says:

"Bad people can hurt you. They can hurt you very badly. But with smart work and good help, you can leave them behind. I believed in this idea."

Reflecting on his journey, Vorga shared:

"A lot has happened since then. Today, I'm back in Forbes (as the news itself), and this time, I’m not alone. My partner in crime Rıza Egehan Asad and I made it. Thanks to İlkim Emirler’s great reporting and my awesome mentor Nilgün (who literally taught me how to write), they think we might become the next Turkish unicorn. My partner Egehan and I believe we are truly valuable and deserving of unicorn status. His confidence is vital, and I’m right there with him, driving our vision forward, pushing our message worldwide, and ensuring you guys know about our journey."

This was Vorga's own exciting story, and the whole team had a proud moment listening to it.

AI has always been driven by technical expertise and progress. The reason behind this is simple: like most technology, AI research was influenced by wartime developments. Early work drew from cybernetics and pioneers like Alan Turing (famously portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Imitation Game”), focusing on creating machines that simulate human intelligence. Post-World War II, the field was spurred by technological advances and the return of scientists to academia. The 1956 Dartmouth Conference, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, marked the formal birth of AI.

I don’t want to overshadow this great article, but I need to explain why I chose to reflect on this paper. As a founder with over six years of experience in AI and sociology, I’ve been contemplating AI development—how, why, for what purpose, and in whose advantage we pursue it. In business, we often lack the ethical boundaries established by philosophical debates. Investor incentives tend to be our primary concern. If an investor cares about ethics, that’s great. But are they really willing to burn millions to ensure it remains ethical?

While academia may be different, AI development, especially for AI-powered products, is mostly driven by people lacking knowledge in social sciences. Today, product efficiency is prioritized over potential consequences. Engineers are like heavy, fast trains that can destroy everything in their path—that’s their job. The focus is on speed and efficiency, often at the expense of considering the broader impact on society. This lack of interdisciplinary understanding can lead to unintended and potentially harmful outcomes, highlighting the need for a more holistic approach to AI development.

As a tech person himself, Agre, in his article, argues for a transformative approach to AI research that incorporates critical reflection and interdisciplinary insights. This shift is essential not only for the advancement of the field but also for addressing its broader social and ethical implications.

The Necessity of Interdisciplinary Engagement

Agre believes that AI development often lacks ethical boundaries. He is somewhat right; such topics are mostly mentioned only when something goes wrong. There is no pre-planning for these issues because most tech people are not well-educated in such topics. One of Agre’s central points is the importance of integrating perspectives from philosophy, social sciences, and literary theory into AI research. When created, AI is not just zeros and ones anymore. The products we build affect everyone’s lives: poor, rich, strong, weak, women, men, and everyone in between.

Additionally, the development itself is quite rapid. Every day, new models emerge, and no one stops to think and reflect on the potential harm. It’s not an easy subject to address, but it’s still a significant problem. In cooler terms, Agre points out that the prioritization of product efficiency over potential consequences can lead to ethical oversights.

He writes, “AI has never had much of a reflexive critical practice, any more than any other technical field. Criticisms of the field, no matter how sophisticated and scholarly they might be, are certain to be met with the assertion that the author simply fails to understand a basic point.” By bringing in insights from other disciplines, AI researchers can challenge their own assumptions and methodologies, leading to more robust and ethically sound systems.

The Role of Critical Reflection

Agre’s personal journey from an AI researcher to a social scientist exemplifies the challenges and rewards of adopting a critical perspective. He emphasizes the importance of questioning the foundational assumptions of AI, stating, “A critical technical practice will, at least for the foreseeable future, must have a split identity—one foot planted in the craft work of design and the other foot planted in the reflexive work of critique.” This dual approach allows researchers to innovate while remaining mindful of the broader impacts of their work.

Moving Beyond Traditional AI

The traditional AI approach often relies heavily on technical formalization, sometimes at the expense of understanding the complexities of human behavior and social contexts. Agre critiques this, noting, “The field’s most prominent members tended to treat their research as the heir of virtually the whole of intellectual history. I have often heard AI people portray philosophy, for example, as a failed project, and describe the social sciences as intellectually sterile.” By acknowledging and addressing these complexities, AI can evolve to better meet real-world needs.

Establishing a Critical Technical Practice

Agre calls for the establishment of a critical technical practice that balances innovation with reflection. He explains, “Faced with a technical proposal whose substantive claims about human nature seem mistaken, the first step is to figure out what deleterious consequences those mistakes should have in practice.” This approach encourages researchers to rigorously test their assumptions and consider the broader implications of their work.

It is easier said than done. I am not a researcher, and it must be a great pain to consider the further implications of something when it works as well as today’s LLMs. History proves that no one ever questions something if it works, at least for a period (usually a bloody period).

What about modern humans, though? Thinking about ethics is old, but modern people are not all talk and no action. Thanks to our modern tech, we can cooperate much better than our ancestors used to. We can regulate and shape the AI that we create.

What I do is just create noise by saying we should consider what kind of monster we are creating. But being on the right side of history is important. A broad movement on AI ethics may be possible in the near future. Right now, all we can do is manage our own actions responsibly.

Conclusion

Philip E. Agre’s paper is a compelling call to action for the AI community. By embracing interdisciplinary engagement and critical reflection, AI researchers can create more ethical and effective technologies. Agre’s vision is one where innovation and critique go hand in hand, leading to a more thoughtful and impactful AI field.

In Agre’s words, “The constructive path is much harder to follow, but more rewarding. Its essence is to evaluate a research project not by its correspondence to one’s own substantive beliefs but by the rigor and insight with which it struggles against the patterns of difficulty that are inherent in its design.” By following this path, AI can truly fulfill its potential as a transformative force for good.

In the field of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become increasingly prevalent and powerful. As organizations and developers seek to harness the potential of these models, the need for reliable methods to evaluate and compare their performance has never been more critical. This is where LLM benchmarking comes into play.

What are LLM Benchmarks?

LLM benchmarks are standardized performance tests designed to evaluate various capabilities of AI language models. Typically, a benchmark consists of a dataset, a collection of tasks or questions, and a scoring mechanism. After evaluation, models are usually awarded a score from 0 to 100, providing an objective indication of their performance.

The Importance of Benchmarking

Benchmarks serve several crucial purposes in the AI community:

  • Objective Comparison: They provide a common ground for comparing different models, helping organizations and users select the best model for their specific needs.
  •  Performance Insight: Benchmarks reveal where a model excels and where it falls short, guiding developers in making necessary improvements.
  • Advancement of the Field: The transparency fostered by well-constructed benchmarks allows researchers and developers to build upon each other's progress, accelerating the overall advancement of language models.

Popular LLM Benchmarks

Several benchmarks have emerged as standards in the field. Here's a brief overview of some key players:

1. ARC (AI2 Reasoning Challenge): Tests knowledge and reasoning skills through multiple-choice science questions.

2. HellaSwag: Evaluates commonsense reasoning and natural language inference through sentence completion exercises.

3. MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding): Assesses a broad range of subjects at various difficulty levels.

4. TruthfulQA: Measures a model's ability to generate truthful answers and avoid hallucinations.

5. WinoGrande: Evaluates commonsense reasoning abilities through pronoun resolution problems.

6. GSM8K: Tests multi-step mathematical reasoning abilities.

7. SuperGLUE: A collection of diverse tasks assessing natural language understanding capabilities.

8. HumanEval: Measures a model's ability to generate functionally correct code.

9. MT Bench: Evaluates a model's capability to engage in multi-turn dialogues effectively.

Limitations of Existing Benchmarks

While benchmarks provide valuable insights, they are not without their limitations. Understanding these constraints is crucial for interpreting benchmark results accurately:

1. Influence of Prompts: Performance can be sensitive to specific prompts, potentially masking a model's true capabilities.

2. Construct Validity: Establishing acceptable answers for diverse use cases is challenging due to the broad spectrum of tasks involved.

3. Limited Scope: Most benchmarks evaluate specific tasks or capabilities, which may not fully represent a model's overall performance or future skills.

4. Insufficient Standardization: Lack of standardization leads to inconsistencies in benchmark results across different evaluations.

5. Human Evaluation Challenges: Tasks requiring subjective judgment often rely on human evaluations, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and potentially inconsistent.

6. Benchmark Leakage: There's a risk of models being trained on benchmark data, leading to artificially inflated scores that don't reflect true capabilities.

7. Real-World Application Gap: Benchmark performance may not accurately predict how a model will perform in unpredictable, real-world scenarios.

8. Specialization Limitations: Most benchmarks use general knowledge datasets, making it difficult to assess performance in specialized domains.

The Future of LLM Benchmarking

As the field of AI continues to advance, so too must our methods of evaluation. Future benchmarks will likely need to address current limitations by:

  • Developing more comprehensive and diverse datasets,
  • Creating tasks that better simulate real-world applications,
  • Incorporating ethical considerations into evaluations,
  • Improving standardization across the field,
  • Exploring ways to assess specialized domain knowledge.

LLM Benchmarks at Novus

LLM benchmarks play a crucial role in advancing our field of artificial intelligence by providing objective measures of model performance. However, at Novus, we understand the importance of approaching benchmark results with a critical eye, recognizing both their value and limitations.

We ensure that all of our models are extensively evaluated on a variety of benchmarks, including different in-house assessments. This comprehensive approach allows us to gain a nuanced understanding of our models' capabilities. Importantly, we don't stop at traditional performance metrics. We also place a strong emphasis on evaluating the safety and alignment of these models, recognizing the ethical implications of deploying powerful AI systems.

While we believe that benchmarks provide valuable insights, we know they don't tell the whole story when it comes to determining the quality of these models. That's why we complement our benchmark evaluations with extensive human testing. This hands-on approach ensures that we can assess the real-world applications and practical usefulness of our models.

As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with language models at Novus, we're committed to evolving our evaluation methods in tandem. 

Our goal is to develop and refine assessment techniques that allow us to accurately gauge and harness the full potential of these powerful tools, always keeping in mind their practical impact and ethical considerations.

Are you familiar with the concept of entropy? It’s a concept in physics that suggest that there is some amount of disorder or randomness in every system, even in the universe. And the entropy of the universe must therefore increase over time, all stars eventually burn out, and the universe will face death, just like us.

The concept of entropy reminds me of change, as J. Cole articulates in his song "Middle Child": "Everything grows, it's destined to change." He's currently dealing with 6ix God and K-Dot, but let’s not get sidetracked.

Everything changes—culture, technology, society, even your ex. However, I believe that thanks to the revolution in AI & Robotics, along with fundamental sciences like chemistry, we are on the verge of a major change that humankind has never experienced before.

That's a bold statement.

I may not be an expert in many of the fields I've mentioned, but I studied sociology and started a successful AI startup, so I know a bit about these topics (and yes, I am biased, but I believe this to be true).

So here's the gist: drawing from the research discussed in a recent scholarly article titled The Blended Future of Automation and AI: Examining Some Long-Term Societal and Ethical Impact Features, the implementation of AI and robotics is poised to fundamentally alter our societal structures and ethical frameworks.

As the article points out, AI's ability to impact jobs, societal norms, and interpersonal interactions represents a form of social influence akin to the broad effects theorized postulated under Social Impact Theory (a theoretical framework that describes how individuals can be influenced by other people and by societal forces). Shocking, right? You don’t need a PhD to suspect that AI will affect your everyday life at some point, but you might need one to jump into a question that big.

Long story short, this theory examines how AI, as a new “social actor,” is not merely a tool but an agent that reshapes social norms and values.

Moreover, the ethical implications of such transformative technologies were elaborately discussed in the article. The need for an ethical AI deployment is emphasized to prevent potential social repercussions such as increased inequality or misuse of autonomous systems.

We always like to think that technology globally enriches us. We’ve eradicated hunger and given a good fight against once popular diseases. That’s the cool part. The article advocates for a cautious approach, ensuring that AI development is aligned with human values and societal well-being—something I advocate for as well.

Revisiting Social Impact Theory in the Age of AI

The classic Social Impact Theory initially described how individuals adjust their behaviors based on their social environment. Today, AI, acting as a 'social actor,' adds a new layer to Bibb Latané's theory.

For instance, AI-driven social media algorithms have the power to shape political opinions and social norms at a pace and magnitude that were once unthinkable. What criteria do these algorithms use to determine which content to promote? What are the long-term effects of these decisions? These questions are crucial as we explore the social terrain molded by AI.

As the founder of an AI startup, I too am concerned that we are advancing too quickly. We're not questioning enough; applied sciences are increasingly favored while fundamental principles are being neglected. We seldom stop to ask why we need to accelerate, yet we continue to do so regardless. This can lead to positive outcomes, but the potential for negative consequences is equally significant.

Why the rush?

Economic Shifts Driven by Automation

The integration of AI and robotics into various industries represents more than just a technological upgrade; it serves as a catalyst for profound economic transformation. Automation could lead to significant shifts in employment patterns, with certain jobs becoming gone and new roles emerging.

I have always believed this shift to be fundamentally beneficial for economies—and I still do. After all, we no longer ride horses; efficiency often prevails over other values. Efficiency is undeniably important, not just in human things but as a principle observed in evolution itself.

However, if we label efficiency as factor 'A', we must ask: Can efficiency alone solve all our problems, or do we need factors 'B', 'C', and even 'D' alongside it? At its extreme, efficiency can even be detrimental to society. We need a deeper understanding of human nature and society at large.

When we use terms like “development” and “progress,” we need to tread carefully. Comparing data from different eras can be tricky. It may seem like we're making progress. However, one should be concerned about the relationships between different social and economic classes and how they will be affected by AI.

I'm an optimist, but I'm not naive. We need to answer big questions, but first, we need to come up with those questions.

As the Greek philosopher Plato once mentioned, "The right question is usually more important than the right answer."
