As AI and emerging technologies continue to progress, it is important that we thoughtfully consider their impact and potential. While innovation is largely accepted in many business and tech communities, I am finding pockets of skepticism that puzzle me.

Our human language is far more sophisticated than most realize. It encodes the complexity of the world around us with nuance and subtlety. In a sense, language itself creates a conceptual framework for how we understand the universe.

This is why large language models that have achieved human-level intelligence, like GPT and LLaMA, are so startling. Despite lacking any built-in reasoning capabilities, we see remarkably intelligent behaviors emerge from these models before our eyes.

While conservatism has its benefits, we must remain open-minded about the possibilities that new technologies could unlock. After all, most major inventions were met with skepticism upon their introduction. I believe that focusing on the responsible and ethical development of AI will ensure we realize the astonishing potential of these technologies to enrich our lives and society in powerful and positive ways.
