From Existential Threat To Hope. A Philosopher's Guide To AI
AI was never just a tool to make us more productive, or to help us do 'good'. It was always also an ... More expression of who we are and what we are becoming. Photo: 7/31/1946-New York. This photo of "Miss Liberty" was made from a helicopter, the first time it has ever been done. It shows a head and shoulders view of the statue and the torch. The dark side of AI continues to reveal new faces. A few weeks ago, Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel laureate and former AI chief in Google, highlighted two ways in which AI poses an existential threat to humanity: By people misusing AI, and by AI becoming smarter than us. And this week OpenAI admitted that they don't know how to prevent ChatGPT from pushing people towards mania, psychosis and death. At the same time, AI optimists keep stressing that it is only a matter of years before AI will solve scientific, environmental, health and social problems that humanity has been struggling with for ages. And when The United Nations kicks off its global summit on AI for Good next week, it's to gather AI experts from across the world to "identify innovative AI applications to solve global challenges.' But what if the discussion of AI's risks and opportunities, dark and bright sides and bad and good ways to use technology is part of the existential threat we are facing? Why AI For Good May Be A Bad Idea When German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche urged us to think Beyond Good and Evil (book from 1885), he suggested that it is not what we identify, define, and decide to be 'good' that determines whether we succeed as humans. It is whether we manage to rise above our unquestioned ideas of what good looks like. Labeling some AI products as human-centric or responsible might sound like a step in the right direction towards identifying and designing innovative AI applications to solve global challenges. But it also reinforces the idea that our future depends on how AI is designed, built and regulated rather on how we live, learn and relate to technology. And by focusing on AI when thinking and talking about our future rather than focusing on ourselves and how we exist and evolve as humans, we are not rising above our unquestioned ideas of what good looks like. Rather, we submit to the idea that permeates all technology, that good equals innovative, fast, and efficient. To rise above our unquestioned ideas about the nature and impact of AI, we need to follow Nietzsche's lead. So, here it is: A Philosopher's Guide to AI. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) urged us to think Beyond Good and Evil. This ... More involves questioning the idea that permeates all technology, that good equals innovative, fast, and efficient. (Photo by Hulton Archive) 1. Stop Thinking Of AI As A Tool The first step towards shifting the focus from the development of AI to our evolution as humans is to question the widespread and constantly repeated idea that AI, like any other technology, is just a tool that can be used for good as well as evil. Inspired by Nietzsche and others who set the tradition of existential philosophy in motion, German philosopher Martin Heidegger put it like this: 'Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard is as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to pay homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology.' In The Question Concerning Technology from 1954, Heidegger argued that the essence of technology is to give man the illusion of being in control. When we think of technology as a tool that can be used for good as well as evil, we also think that we are in control of why, when, and for what it is used. But according to Heidegger this is only partly the case. We may make a decision to buy a car to drive ourselves to work. And thus we may think of the car as a means to achieve our goal of getting to work as fast as possible. But we never made the decision that fast is better than slow. It's an idea that comes with the car. So is the idea that it should be easy and convenient for us to get to work. And that fast, easy and convenient is more important than anything else. Like all other technologies, the car comes with a promise that we can achieve more by doing less. And like all other technologies, it makes us think that this is what life is and should be about. But to rise above our unquestioned ideas, we must not only ask the questions we are encouraged to ask when faced with a new technology – like 'how does it work?', 'when can I use it?', and 'how much easier will it be to do X?' We must also ask the questions that the essence of technology discourages us from asking – like 'do I even need technology for this?', 'what does this technology prevent me from doing?', and 'what will my life be like if I trust technology to make everything easy?' 2. Take The History Of Technology Seriously Heidegger made it clear that although different generations of technology have different ways of influencing human beings and behaviors, our fundamental purpose for using technology remains the same: to deal with the fact that we are limited creatures, thrown into this world without knowing why and for how long. Put differently, the question concerning technology is and always was existential. It's about who we are and what we become when we try to overcome our limitations. Ever since our early ancestors began using rocks and branches as tools and weapons, our relationship with technology has been at the heart of how we live, learn and evolve as humans. And more than anything else, it has shaped our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with our surroundings. Living in the early days of the digital revolution, Heidegger didn't know that AI would have the impact it has today. Nor did he know that AI experts would talk about their inventions as posing an existential threat to humanity. But he distinguished between different generations of technology. And he suggested that humanity was moving toward a technological era of great existential significance. Illustration of the difference in how humans relate to technology throughout three technological ... More eras. Having used pre-modern tools to survive and modern technology to thrive, the idea that digital technology can help transcend the limitations set by nature doesn't seem far-fetched (see illustration). However, by not realizing that our relationship with technology is existential, AI experts seem to have missed that AI was never just a tool to make us more productive, or to help us do 'good'. It was always also an expression of who we are and what we are becoming. And by building technology that distances itself from the limitations of nature, we also began to distance ourselves from our human nature. According to Heidegger, this distancing has been going on for centuries without any of us noticing it. The widespread debate about AI as an existential threat is a sign that this is changing. And that AI may be the starting point for us humans to finally develop a more reflective and healthy relationship with technology. 3. Make Existential Hope A Joint Venture Heidegger concludes The Question Concerning Technology by writing: 'The closer we come to the danger, the brighter the ways into the saving power begin to shine and the more questioning we become. For questioning is the piety of thought.' While AI experts are calling for regulation, for AI development to be paused, and even for new philosophers to help them deal with the threat they see AI posing, hope shines from a completely different place than tech companies and regulators. 'Where?' you may ask. And that's just it. We are asking more existential questions about who we are, why we are here, and where we want to go as humanity than ever before. And with 'we', I don't mean philosophers, tech experts, and decision makers. I mean all of us in all sorts of contexts in all parts of the world. There is something about AI that, unlike previous generations of technology, makes us ask the questions that the essence of technology has previously discouraged us from asking. Unlike modern technologies like cars and digital technologies like computers, we actually have a widespread debate about what AI is preventing us from doing and what our lives will be like if we trust AI to make everything easy. And this instills hope. Existential hope that we still know and are willing to do what it takes to stay human. Even when it doesn't equal innovative, fast, and efficient. Senior journalist with BBC Global News, Richard Fisher defines existential hope as "the opposite of existential catastrophe: It's the idea that there could be radical turns for the better, so long as we commit to bringing them to reality. Existential hope is not about escapism, utopias or pipe dreams, but about preparing the ground: making sure that opportunities for a better world don't pass us by.' With A Philosopher's Guide to AI, the questions we ask about AI offers a once in many lifetimes opportunity for a better world. Let's make sure it doesn't pass us by!

How Brex is keeping up with AI by embracing the ‘messiness'
Companies have struggled to adopt the right AI tools as the technology evolves at a far faster pace than their slow sales cycles. Corporate credit card company Brex is no different. The startup found itself facing the same issue as its enterprise counterparts. The upshot: Brex completely changed its approach to software procurement to ensure they wouldn't get left behind. Brex CTO James Reggio told TechCrunch, at the HumanX AI conference in March, the company initially tried to assess these software tools through their usual procurement strategy. The startup quickly discovered its months-long piloting process was just not going to work. 'In the first year following ChatGPT, when all these new tools were coming on the scene, the process itself of procuring would actually run so long that the teams that were asking to procure a tool lost interest in the tool by the time that we actually got through all of the necessary internal controls,' Reggio said. That's when Brex realized had to completely rethink its procurement process. The company started by coming up with a new framework for data processing agreements and legal validations for bringing on AI tools, Reggio said. This allowed Brex to vet potential AI tools quicker and get them into the hands of testers faster. Reggio said the company uses a 'superhuman product-market-fit test' to figure out what tools are worth investing in beyond the pilot program. This approach gives employees a much larger role in deciding what tools the company should adopt based on where they are finding value, he added. 'We go deep with the folks who are getting the most value out of the tool to figure out whether it is actually unique enough to retain,' Reggio said. 'We're basically, I would say, about two years into this new era where there's 1,000 AI tools within our company. And we've definitely canceled and not renewed on maybe five to 10 different larger deployments.' Brex gives its engineers a monthly budget of $50 to license whichever software tools they want from an approved list. 'By delegating that spending authority to the individuals who are going to be leveraging this, they make the optimal decisions for optimizing their workflows,' Reggio said. 'It's actually really interesting and we haven't seen a convergence. I think that that has also validated the decision to make it easy to try a bunch of different tools, is that we haven't seen everybody just rush in and say, 'I want Cursor.'' This approach has helped the company figure out where it needs broader licensing deals for software too based on a more accurate headcount of how many engineers are using what. Overall, Reggio said the best way for enterprises to approach the current AI innovation cycle, in his opinion, is to 'embrace the messiness' and know that figuring out which tools to adopt will be a bumpy process and that's okay. 'Knowing that you're not going to always make the right decision out of the gate is just like paramount to making sure that you don't get left behind,' Reggio said. 'I think that the one mistake that we could make is to overthink this and spend six to nine months evaluating everything very carefully before we deploy it. And you don't know what the world is going to look like nine months from now.'

Here's Why We Think Gorman-Rupp (NYSE:GRC) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
Investors are often guided by the idea of discovering 'the next big thing', even if that means buying 'story stocks' without any revenue, let alone profit. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, so investors in these companies may be taking on more risk than they should. So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Gorman-Rupp (NYSE:GRC). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. If a company can keep growing earnings per share (EPS) long enough, its share price should eventually follow. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. Over the last three years, Gorman-Rupp has grown EPS by 14% per year. That's a pretty good rate, if the company can sustain it. One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Gorman-Rupp reported flat revenue and EBIT margins over the last year. While this doesn't ring alarm bells, it may not meet the expectations of growth-minded investors. You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers. View our latest analysis for Gorman-Rupp Fortunately, we've got access to analyst forecasts of Gorman-Rupp's future profits. You can do your own forecasts without looking, or you can take a peek at what the professionals are predicting. It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. So it is good to see that Gorman-Rupp insiders have a significant amount of capital invested in the stock. Notably, they have an enviable stake in the company, worth US$215m. Coming in at 21% of the business, that holding gives insiders a lot of influence, and plenty of reason to generate value for shareholders. Very encouraging. It means a lot to see insiders invested in the business, but shareholders may be wondering if remuneration policies are in their best interest. Our quick analysis into CEO remuneration would seem to indicate they are. The median total compensation for CEOs of companies similar in size to Gorman-Rupp, with market caps between US$400m and US$1.6b, is around US$3.7m. The Gorman-Rupp CEO received US$2.0m in compensation for the year ending December 2024. That seems pretty reasonable, especially given it's below the median for similar sized companies. CEO remuneration levels are not the most important metric for investors, but when the pay is modest, that does support enhanced alignment between the CEO and the ordinary shareholders. Generally, arguments can be made that reasonable pay levels attest to good decision-making. One important encouraging feature of Gorman-Rupp is that it is growing profits. The fact that EPS is growing is a genuine positive for Gorman-Rupp, but the pleasant picture gets better than that. Boasting both modest CEO pay and considerable insider ownership, you'd argue this one is worthy of the watchlist, at least. Even so, be aware that Gorman-Rupp is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis , you should know about...
