AI or EI

Coming from the tech world and being the techie myself. We keep hearing about AI 💻 or Artificial intelligence 🤖 on daily basis and it is always a topic of discussion at the lunch table's in offices too.

AI or Artificial Intelligence was a science fiction less than a decade ago but today it is something that is standing right on our doorsteps 🚪, threatening us with our jobs 🤔 or luring us with it's vast potential to make our life easier - both in one fell swoop. It is making people jittery about their own futures , threatening to take away their livelihoods. And there seems to be no way around it except one...we start working on increasing our EI 😃😡 - our Emotional Intelligence. 💪

"Emotions are essential part of human intelligence. Without emotional intelligence, artificial intelligence is incomplete" -- Amit Ray

We all are entrepreneurs and we want to make use of every new technology that comes up to our advantage. What used to take hundreds of man hours earlier, today is effortless and hidden somewhere in the background.

The challenge for us is not AI, but EI 😄. Because that's something that is not getting automated at all. As a matter of fact, it is becoming more and more difficult each passing day - to be emotionally stable ⚖️ and to be able to respond to situations, stimulation's and people, instead of reacting to them. All the time we are going to be saved by AI for doing the job for us but we need to go in for developing our Emotional Intelligence. Because that's the only inner technology that's going to help us to make use of every new outer technology like AI in the future.

"Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." -- Stephen Hawking

How are we going to develop the Emotional Intelligence ? Do we need guidance and resources for it as we need for AI ? 🤔 We should think through and answer these questions for ourselves.

Cheers !!
