Autonomous Transformation: Creating a More Human Future in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

From technologist and strategist Brian Evergreen, a bold new agenda for the role of organizational leaders in creating a more human future with technology

Social good initiatives are incompatible with the current network of systems that make up and support the private and public sectors. Millions of dollars have been invested in bringing leaders together from organizations around the world to design solutions for global challenges such as the climate crisis, child labor, racism, war, and many more. Despite executive buy-in, alignment of core capabilities and resources, passionate leadership, and well-designed strategies, these initiatives inevitably fail (with a few, notable exceptions).

The dawn of the Internet ignited a global redesign and rebuild of the interlocking systems that make up and support the private and public sectors today. The era of Digital Transformation extended this further through the adoption of cloud technologies and distributed computing.

With a recent wave of technological advancements, organizations have arrived at another global redesign and rebuilding of the network of systems that make up society: Autonomous Transformation, revealing an opportunity for leaders to create Profitable Good through systemic design in combination with emerging autonomous technologies and surprising and remarkable partnerships.

Autonomous Transformation provides a blueprint for leaders and managers who have aspired or attempted to harness artificial intelligence and its adjacent technologies for the betterment of their organization and the world, weaving strategy, business, economics, systemic design, and philosophy into four actionable steps with accompanying frameworks:

1. Clear the Digital Fog
2. See the Systems
3. Choose a Problem Future
4. Design Inevitability

從技術專家和策略家Brian Evergreen，提出了一個關於組織領導者在利用科技創造更人性化未來的大膽新議程。

社會公益計劃與目前構成和支持私營和公共部門的系統網絡不相容。數百萬美元已被投資於將來自世界各地的組織領導者聚集在一起，設計解決全球挑戰的方案，如氣候危機、童工、種族主義、戰爭等等。儘管高層管理層的支持、核心能力和資源的協調、充滿激情的領導以及良好設計的策略，這些計劃不可避免地失敗（有幾個值得注意的例外）。

互聯網的出現引發了對當今構成和支持私營和公共部門的相互關聯系統的全球重新設計和重建。數字轉型時代通過採用雲技術和分散式計算進一步推動了這一過程。

隨著最近一波技術進步的到來，組織已經開始對構成社會的系統網絡進行全球重新設計和重建：自主轉型，揭示了一個機會，即領導者可以通過系統設計結合新興自主技術和令人驚喜的合作夥伴關係，創造有利可圖的善。

《自主轉型》為那些渴望或試圖利用人工智能及其相關技術改善組織和世界的領導者和經理提供了一個藍圖，將戰略、商業、經濟、系統設計和哲學融入四個可行的步驟和相應的框架中：

1. 清除數字迷霧
2. 看到系統
3. 選擇未來問題
4. 設計必然性
