Interesting insights from Microsoft's report on AI: - While people use AI at work, they fear it threatens their jobs. It's as if we need the tool, yet fear that the tool itself will destroy us. - Companies expect employees to use AI at work, which will be a crucial skill set in hiring in the future, but they don't currently provide training to their employees. It's as if we are passing from hardcopy to digital, but we don't teach employees to work with emails. - Many people are turning to AI to make their overwhelming workload more manageable. It's as if leveraging AI technologies to resolve an abnormal workload problem to achieve more enjoyable work conditions, instead of fully utilizing the tool for its added value and potential. Conclusion of the report: AI is already here, but the critical issues extend beyond technology to politics, governance, education, and sociology. Feels like news, isn't news? https://lnkd.in/d6y9BHsZ #AIconcerns #TechFear #DigitalTransformation #AIImpact

My friend Michel Vandenberghe has done a lot of thinking reconceptualizing the commons, and the kinds of institutions / businesses we would need for the coming shift, including changes in our monetary system. It's in French, but worth putting in your translating tools: "Monetization of future potential - Risk-based currency is designed to represent and value future potentials rather than current values. - It encourages economic actors to invest in projects with transformation prospects, rather than simply seeking immediate growth. Major consequences. - Transformation economy: The economy is structured around the imperative of transformation. This means that the primary objective of investments and economic activities is to provoke beneficial long-term changes, rather than merely increasing short-term growth figures. - Sustainability requirement: To ensure the continuous ability to transform, it is crucial to preserve the resources and capacities necessary for these future transformations. This introduces an intrinsic requirement for sustainability, where economic decisions must consider their long-term impact on resources and the environment."

Madi Lesha Kiluba writes; This is what a $110 house looks like in Ndola in #Zambie, the capital city of copper (comparable to Kolwezi). With $110 (or 2800K ZMW), the tenant benefits from running water, garbage collection, as well as the services of a caretaker and a gardener. (https://lnkd.in/dEeDEhSA) In #Lubumbashi, to hope to get a house with similar characteristics, you have to pay at least $300. In addition, these houses are often located in neighbourhoods very far from the city centre, and water is frequently absent due to the lack of access by the water authority. I wonder what it would be like to #Kolwezi with only $110 a month 🤔🤔🤔??? _______________________________________________ What is surprising is to note that in a country where poverty, misery, suffering and especially inflation are deplored ($100 = 280,000 FC), there are two-room houses for $100, with Turkish toilets that are sometimes used as showers and that are shared by two or three houses on the same plot. It's quite paradoxical, I think. This at least gives an idea of what the development of a country that takes into account the needs of its population in a hierarchical manner could look like. The DRC should take inspiration from what is being done in Zambia. No matter how much minerals we have, if the internal organization of the country is not optimized for development, nothing will work properly. We have much to learn from our dear Zambian neighbours. ______________________________________________ #Question: In your opinion, what makes this big difference when potentially Zambia has fewer mineral resources than us given the size of the territory?
