No. I

Liminal Salon No. I has happened, and I am deeply grateful to the people who brought their time, their hopes and fears, and their hearts into the discussion. To be in that room, full of wonderful, wildly different humans, was a blessing.

In distilling an evening of conversation, we arrived at the questions that might matter most as AI shapes the years ahead. The questions we felt are serious. The questions for the next salons to explore.

1. iHow do we want to live together as humans?
2. iiWhat values should be the foundation for education?
3. iiiDo we see collective or individual incentives as the likely driver of the values AI development will be infused with?
4. ivWho is in charge, and who is going to navigate?
5. vHow can we direct and navigate this AI world?
6. viHow would a world without money look?
7. viiWhere does imagination come from?
8. viiiWhat holds social cohesion, and how do we find our way to one another?
9. ixVillagisation instead of globalisation, change at the most local level?
