Many of us can still remember the time before the iPhone and even experienced phones with real dials in our youth. All that was not so long ago, yet young people today are growing up directly with smartphones, tablets, Tiktok and whatever else. There was even a time before the โ€œinternetโ€. Crazy…

We are the only generation that can still remember a time โ€œbefore AIโ€ and that is currently witnessing how AI is reshaping almost every area of our lives. We are the generation that is establishing AI in companies, implementing new business processes and ideas and ensuring (I sincerely hope) that AI is used for good and not for evil. We are establishing rules and framework conditions, we are starting to establish AI in education, we are the source of all training data.

Sam Altmann recently said in an interview that he expects his son to grow up in a world in which AI will always know more than he does at all times.

Personally, I wish my child scraped knees from โ€œclimbing the treeโ€, the taste of sand in their mouth after a trip to the beach, the smell of a slobbery cuddly toy as they fall asleep and lots of love and laughter. Because no AI in the world will be able to replace that. But many other things probably can…
