2023 was a year of sharing reflections about a new collective story for us all. In 2024 we want the new story to grow
It is becoming high time that humankind is getting back on track of its own positive evolution. However stepping out of the pack, which is on the path of self destruction, is difficult. I personally did in 1996 and everyone around me declared me “out of my mind”. In 2005 I introduced the Entrepreneurship of the 21st century and started coaching business organizations on the 4 x WIN principles of contributing to humankind and the planet, instead of using them as resources for financial self interests. Gradually I started to understand that such a new type entrepreneurship needed the appropriate environment to develop. But no other societal environments wanted to work with me or my story. For them the world still turned around money which could solve anything. In 2008 the financial crisis blew away this dream.
Since 2009, the small STIR foundation, that I had set up to experiment with working with the idea of 4 x WIN regional value creation, began to invite the fragmented silos of society to engage in new storytelling environments. Nothing seemed to work initially, until I suggested to work on regional air quality and health. Now, 14 years further down the line, and a lot of experimentation with the STIR set of core human values, we can reflect about:
- The complexity of change (do we have free will?)
- Mature versus immature society formats
- New educational formats
- The converging power of existentialist ethics (a conference paper that will be published through other channels)

2023 progress report Sustainocracy
The human world is under significant and dangerous stress. Yet the vast majority of people wish for a peaceful and harmonious existence. To achieve that, a lot will have to change. And that is exactly what most people have difficulty with. This is not only due to a lack of will, it is also because our behavior is conditioned by the way society functions. One leads to the other. This can only be broken if society-wide (i.e. everyone at the same time) is prepared to implement a mindset change. The City of Tomorrow (STIR Foundation) has been inviting us to do this since 2009, based on five essential values for our human existence. It creates an open space in which people and institutions are invited to proactively take responsibility together for the whole program, or regional sub-priorities and bottlenecks, based on those essential human values. 2023 was once again a special and challenging year, the first full year after the COVID restrictions. Download here the report of what has been done, with thanks to all the people and institutions who have contributed directly and indirectly.
What chances are there that hackers spoil the pureness of A.I.?
We asked A.I., ChatGPT, and this is what it responds:
The risk of hackers spoiling the purity or integrity of AI systems is a legitimate concern, but it’s essential to understand that AI itself is a tool or technology, and the impact of hackers largely depends on how AI is used and implemented. Here are some points to consider:
- Data Manipulation: AI systems often rely on large datasets for training. If hackers can manipulate or poison these datasets, they can introduce biases or errors into the AI model, which could lead to incorrect or harmful decisions.
- Adversarial Attacks: Hackers can design adversarial attacks to deceive AI systems. These attacks involve manipulating input data in such a way that AI systems make incorrect predictions or classifications. This can have serious consequences in applications like autonomous vehicles, facial recognition, or security systems.
- Malicious AI Development: Hackers might develop AI-powered tools or systems for malicious purposes, such as creating deepfake videos, designing more effective malware, or automating cyberattacks.
- Exploiting Vulnerabilities: AI systems themselves can have vulnerabilities, and hackers may exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive data, or disrupt critical AI-powered infrastructure.
- Privacy Concerns: AI can be used for data mining and profiling. If hackers gain access to this data, it can lead to severe privacy breaches and misuse of personal information.
To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial to:
- Implement robust security measures to protect AI systems and the data they use.
- Continuously monitor and update AI models to detect and counter adversarial attacks.
- Develop regulations and ethical guidelines for AI usage to prevent misuse.
- Foster transparency and accountability in AI development and deployment.
While the risks are real, it’s important to remember that AI can also be used to enhance cybersecurity by automating threat detection, incident response, and anomaly detection. As AI technology evolves, so do the security measures designed to protect it, but vigilance and proactive measures are essential to ensure the purity and integrity of AI.
