👇 AI: Here's where we are now (below). Beyond Siri, Alexa ChatGBT & multistep info tasks - we're now at #Agentic AI, 'agents', e.g. PerplexityComet, that can move your cursor, click decisions, type & complete autonomous tasks. Q: Where will we insert our humanity?

As governments &. teachers grapple w how to work w agentic AI, here are Nick Baker’s Principles forTrustworthy AI:
1. Keep humans in control.
2. Maintain transparency in agent behaviour.
3. Align agents w human values.
4. Protect privacy across extended interactions.
5. Secure agents’ interactions.

450 people who received assisted death were diagnosed with ALS & 74% accessed palliative care first.
⚕️Some 2024 data from 🇨🇦 this week on MAID (Medical Assistance in Death) e.g., AVG age = 77.9. Cancer was the most frequently cited medical condition, affecting 63% of recipients (mainly lung, colorectal, pancreatic & hematologic).
