Well, its seems like a scary situation when AI surpasses human intelligence but we are far behind that. Even the most sophisticated humanoid like Azimo/Sophia have been preprogrammed for public display and every move is well calibrated (As highlighted by Dr Michio Kaku in Physics of the Future). So, for the imminent future we have to worry less about AI singularity. Moreover, a lot work is being done in the domain of responsible AI (UNICEF even introduced policy guidance on AI for children)
I believe the organisations have to reinvent themselves and implement these AI solutions to keep up with competitors else they would fade away. We have a lot of examples in the past that refused to innovate and reinvent, and lost their charm (most prominent example is Nokia and Blackberry). The only way to survive in this fast evolution of technology is to be agile and adopt.
As I mentioned in the other thread, individuals won't have an easy path to opt out as A.I. use will be baked into the systems we interact with.
Similarly for organizations, the systems they use will have A.I. under the covers and to remain competitive they will need to use similar capabilities to those of their immediate competitors.
This doesn't require that A.I. achieves sentience, it is just the normal "arms race" that occurs whenever a significant technological advancement occurs.
And similar to what we are seeing now, interaction with humans will be at a cost premium. For the vast majority of us, we will be dealing with bots...

Jahren, AI in its early stages now reminds me with the time when the cellphone surfaced. Adoption was slow and not many showed interest. Fast forward to now, these days people can't live, work or be productive without their cellphone.
I am not saying that this will be the exact same case with AI but certainly companies who opt not to use AI will have competitive disadvantage, limited growth, increased costs and isolation from industry trends so while they might survive, yet, they will not strive and if you ask me, I would say I am in the same camp as Kiron in that companies and individuals won't have an easy path to opt out!

If someone rejects the usage of generative AI, they may choose to utilize different strategies or instruments to accomplish their objectives in a way that still upholds their morals. This could entail turning to manual labor, other technologies that are more in line with their ethical ideals, or more conventional forms of artistic expression. Saving Changes...
It could be a change; and people adopt to the changes or change the situation. Saving Changes...

So you've got people and companies deciding not to jump on the generative AI bandwagon for all sorts of reasons. Maybe they're big on ethics and worry about privacy or what AI might mean for jobs in the creative world. Others just like keeping things status quo; they're all about human creativity and craftsmanship, believing there's something special about things made by hand. But let's face it: by saying no to GenAI, they're missing out on Tech can seriously supercharge productivity and spark innovation. And in today's fast-paced world, falling behind on the tech front could mean trouble for staying competitive. Plus, without tapping into GenAI, they might not have access to the latest tools and tricks for creating content or analyzing data. That could put a serious damper on their growth and efficiency. It's worth thinking about whether saying no to generative AI is really the best move in the long run. They might just end up missing out on some game-changing opportunities.
Opting out comes with the competitive disadvantage. Depending on the circumstances that may or may not be sustainable within an individual's career or a business. If there is sufficient pushback, there might be AI free zones of sort. Unless something drastic happens, like a global energy crisis or semiconductor shortage, GenAI won't go away. Saving Changes...

People is using generative AI each day from long time ago. Why? When using predictive text in the phones or web browsers, when using the new MS Outlook and write an email, etc, etc. So, the point is help people to visualize it. But something that is missing when organizations like to use it at scale bye using the new evolution which is based in foundation models (ChatGPT for example) is that a new business unit has to be created not only with technical people. The need to include lawyers and diversity and inclusion specialists is a must. Saving Changes...
