About Outshining AI
Outshining AI isn’t about competing with the machine.
As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, one truth has become clear: We can’t compete with the AI machine, for its speed and memory have already surpassed ours.
But those were never the highest measures of wisdom.
Only we can bring heart, meaning, and a sense of the sacred to this era of accelerating intelligence.
Only we can act from that place machines cannot touch—that deep, inner presence some call conscience, others call soul.
To outshine AI is to act from the quiet strength of our true nature, which I would argue is divine as well as human.
Outshining AI explores how to live and work wisely in this age of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence.
We look at tools with clear eyes, dig into what helps and call out what doesn’t. The aim is to learn to use AI well without losing what makes us who we are.
