Our computers have no intelligence without us, but they accelerate our collective intelligence at a speed that has never been seen before.
Birth of the Global Mind is an FT piece from O’Reilly Media founder and CEO, Tim O’Reilly. As you might expect from a tech world maven, O’Reilly is in favor of technology-inspired progress, but he’s also level-headed enough to sound a note of caution:
The global brain is still in its infancy. We can raise it to help us make a better world, or we can raise it to be selfish, unjust and short-term in its outlook.
Ensuring the latter does not happen, whether knowingly or unwittingly, is surely the challenge of our times.
