Archetypal Intelligence

We are entering a period in which many cognitive skills - analysis, information processing, problem-solving and even aspects of strategy - are increasingly being performed by Artificial Intelligence

As technology becomes ever more capable of performing tasks that once required human cognitive skill, qualities such as judgement, presence, creativity, courage, relational intelligence and moral responsibility become more, not less, important.

AI is increasingly capable of performing tasks that previously required human intelligence: analysing, calculating, planning, writing and solving problems.

But being able to perform a task is not the same as exercising human judgement, compassion, courage or responsibility in performing it.

We human beings must live with the consequences of our actions, in relationship with other people and the living world.

Archetypal Practice is concerned with developing our capacity to do that consciously.

As machines become more intelligent, human beings will need to become more conscious.

So, an increasingly important question is emerging:-
