Many European leaders and corporations are worried that Europe will fall behind both the west and the east in the current AI advancements. The latest news about the American AI-developer Anthropic closing their access for non-US entities is worrying, since larger blockades or restrictions in the future could severely impact our economic growth.
However, I believe that Europe instead have a better option than to chase unicorns in the AI era. If you can't win the race, it is better to find another arena. And Sharphill will do just that. By reshaping how society creates value, it will make room for a new kind of growth that might look worse on paper but is a heck of a lot more useful for its actual citizens. The impact and effect on society will be tremendously better than a few trillionaires stockpiling fictional wealth.
The wins we actually need
Equity and basic needs met for absolutely everyone. Not a single person should ever need to go homeless or hungry in a modern society.
Better, proactive healthcare that uses more of the resources for actual healing instead of administration.
Slow down production and growth that hurts the environment.
Less stress and shorter work weeks, which will reduce burnouts and give more time for meaningful nonprofit work, sports or leisure.
End the loneliness epidemic where elderly living by themselves can go weeks without talking to someone, and young people not finding a partner.
Give people meaning and purpose. With something for live for, distractions like stimulants or crime would not have the same attraction and hold on society as it has today.
And I will make it happen. Are you in?
