    Human-generated awe in the age of AI

    The author of a TIME essay argues that AI's feats shouldn't overshadow the awe people find in one another.

    TLDR

    The author of a TIME essay argues that, even as AI astonishes us, the awe we draw from other people has the most profound impact. She cites psychologist Dacher Keltner's examination of 2,600 stories across 26 countries: he found that people most commonly felt awe when witnessing others be kind, brave or strong.

    @ariannahuff@OpenAI solved a problem mathematicians have wrestled with for a quarter century. @GoogleDeepMind mapped every possible mutation hiding in our genes. These are awe-inspiring feats of the machines. In my latest piece for @TIME, I write about why, even as we marvel at AI’s capacity, we shouldn’t lose sight of something irreplaceable: human-generated awe. Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at @UCBerkeley, looked at 2,600 stories of awe across 26 countries. He found that what most commonly led people to feel awe wasn't nature, or spirituality, or technology — it was watching other people be kind, brave, or strong. He calls it "moral beauty" and 95% of it comes from witnessing actions people take on behalf of others. Collective movement. Nature. Music. Visual design. Spirituality. Big ideas. Life and death. These are the other wonders Keltner found that inspire awe — and they're all deeply shaped by human connection. AI will keep astonishing us. But the awe that has the most profound impact is the awe we derive from each other. And as Keltner writes, that awe is available to us “if we just take a moment and wonder.”13h
