AI frenzy! AI hype! AI mania! AI panic!
Let’s consider whether we are so caught up in labeling what’s happening with AI today, that we are not engaging in critical thinking about AI’s real-world implications for the 2030s and beyond.
With the next decade on the horizon, this is a crucial moment for the association community to reckon with the serious questions that AI raises for our organizations, the country, and humanity. While AI is widely embraced, it is far from the whole story as AI resistance continues to intensify.
Now is the time to embrace our responsibility for holistic dialogue about the range of consequences of AI adoption. Join Jeff De Cagna, AIMP, DAIG, FRSA, FASAE, FNI.Dir, executive advisor, Foresight First, LLC, as he reflects on how we can leave associations better than how we found them by identifying and facilitating outcomes for our stakeholders that are independent of AI.
