"Rather than giving us answers, generative AI could help take them away." --Dana Karout
ChatGPT: A Partner in Unknowing
Writer and adaptive leadership trainer Dana Karout takes us through a insightful exploration in her essay on how ChatGPT is mere a reflection of our own limited ways of viewing the world. In her work with students and in building capacity with individuals and communities to hold conflict and navigate complexity across various levels of authority, she looks into how ChatGPT gets us, humans, to what she calls 'the place of unkowing'. What would it mean if ChatGPT took away all the easy anwers from us, leaving us in a place of unknowing to tap into our very own creative problem-solving spree?
BE THE CHANGE
Dana speaks in the essay about questions being ChatGPT-able or not. Is there a question in your life that could be answered by AI? In an explorative spirit, ask an AI bot the question. Pause as you read the response. Take a few breaths and ask yourself, "Is this what the solution to your problem would look like?" Consider playing around with the question asked, too.
