Very nice article Serina, AI technology has led to swift advancements in human life. However, it is crucial that progress in AI continues to prioritize human, moral, and ethical values. While AI has the capability to substitute for both mental and physical tasks, it can never replicate the human heart. Wisdom of the heart is never be replaced by AI. My opinion, advancement in AI technology, when devoid of the wisdom of the heart, can cause us to go astray.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Novi. Love your analogy on the wisdom of the heart. Indeed, without the heart as a compass, technology can lose its way. Progress isn’t just about doing everything we can, but choosing what we should do for the benefit of humanity. As the Dalai Lama said, “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.” Perhaps that could be a guiding principle in how AI is shaped.

What a fantastic article, Serina!

I love the concept of “presence”, the importance of body language, and the idea our soul will remain forever intact.

And I agree also about the fact that we have to find boundaries. As we did with genetics in the past, adult materials, property, privacy, and many controversial topics that we and our ancestors faced.

Thanks so much Simone. I appreciate your kind words! Great point about how each generation has had to navigate tricky, even controversial, topics. Following smartphones and social media, AI feels like the next big one we’ll need to approach thoughtfully—so it does more good than harm for the generations after us.

Great article, full of real touching truth. After months enjoying and developing AI solutions two phrases are incredibly summarizing in few words lots of values and contrasting emotions: “sounding like an expert isn’t the same as being one” and “harness the best of technology—without losing the best of what makes us human”. A new awareness is pushing us toward new limits, quality and healthy thinking must remain primary values

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Those two lines you highlighted really do capture the tension so many of us are grappling with right now. I’m glad the piece resonated and sparked reflection. Here’s to keeping depth, integrity, and our shared humanity at the heart of how we move forward 😊

Humanity has thrived for millions of years by working together toward shared goals and by building tools to improve our lives.

Generative AI is one of the most powerful tools we have created yet: a bridge for connection, creation, and knowledge.

But it boils down to one thing, it’s not just about the tech. It’s about why we build tools in the first place - to collaborate, to uplift, and to move forward together.

Beautifully said. I absolutely agree. Tools are only as powerful as the intention behind them. When we stay rooted in the mission and deeper purpose of innovation, it keeps the evolution meaningful. That said, not every leader builds with pure intentions. Which is why it’s more important than ever for those in leadership to lead with clarity, courage, and a strong moral compass.
