The AI before AI inquiry delves into the development of essential social skills that allows humans to engage meaningfully and effectively in today’s complex social landscape. It covers major human milestones we experienced as a society that are now vital to navigate interactions with individuals, communities, businesses, and governments, as well as the emerging relationship with artificial intelligence. From empathy and communication skills to ethical reasoning and digital literacy, the goal is to understand how humans can build trust, foster collaboration, and maintain accountability. As AI becomes a more prominent part of society, these skills are vital not only for personal and professional growth but also for adapting to a world where machines play an increasing role in our social ecosystems.
Contemporary questions such as; Was human intelligence ever natural? Do we have a good grounded understanding of what aspects of human intelligence (or any intelligence) is given, vs. that which is made? is what this project inquires by looking to the intellectual histories, ancient and modern, of artificial intelligence before artificial intelligence.
