Mindshifting is recognizing and shifting from the mindsets that hold us back to the mindsets that push us forward. I write about mindsets, Mindshifting, learning, and education, with the hope that these posts give readers more power over their own lives and helps them give others, like their students, more power as well.
What's next with AI?
|
Two posts hit me this morning. In one, there was a LI post that asked about what will be the next ChatGPT moment in AI. In another, Audrey Watters posted in her newsletter about AI not necessarily making our lives better, and how we all should be doubling down on strengthening our human capacities for humanity. My thinking is that one of the next AI moments is going to be when a monumental disaster strikes that will be directly or indirectly caused by AI. Perhaps it will be a data breach. As we feed unprecedented amounts of personal information into AI, including government information, there are huge incentives to crack open those databases. Perhaps it will be a decision. We know AI makes mistakes, and the expression we used to use was, "to err is human, but to really f*ck things up you need a computer." AI maginifies that as corporations, governments, and government agencies are relying AI to make decisions that affect the lives of millions. Perhaps it will be unscrupulous use of AI to enrich a very few at the expense of all of us; using AI to deny benefits or services, to invoice, fine, tax, threaten, or perhaps to hide transfers of funds into the accounts of those running the AI. Or maybe a perfect storm of all three. But it's bound to happen. And the most likely outcome is that there will be a few scapegoats who get punished and our our tech titans and governing class be able to conduct "business as usual" because they got rid of the few bad apples that caused a crisis that no one could have foreseen or prepared for. For the rest of us, let's double down on strengthening our human capacities for humanity and building our islands of coherence. |

Hi everyone. This week we will be moving this newsletter to WordPress. You should get a post tomorrow (Tuesday, 24 June, 2025) from the new MindShiftingWithMitch.blog site, and a fuller explanation later in the week. Please check your spam folder for the email tomorrow.
We often think our biggest challenges are external—but what if the real roadblocks are in our own thinking? In my conversation with Marc Haine, I unpack some of the most common (and sneaky) mindset traps that derail progress, and I share tools I’ve used with leaders to help them move forward with clarity and purpose. This episode is full of insights you can use right away.
I love when I see really smart people explaining their work. Last night 15 educators showed and explained lesson plans on how to teach others the techniques to become resourceful, how to take control of your mind and not let circumstances dictate how you feel, think, and actl The sequence of lessons are: 1. Navigating Sensory overload with MindShifting, for 6th to adult 2. What if, a way to get unstuck, for K-5 3. Professional Development: Implementing a Choice Board for Empowering Students...
