You know how AI keeps gobbling up all the worlds knowledge and making it accessible to anyone, anywhere with an internet connection? But what happens to knowledge we can’t digitize? This question has been nagging at me, so I wrote a blog about it. Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback. https://paragraph.xyz/@adrienne/what-ai-cant-learn-a-case-for-preserving-nomadic-culture

What I think we would need to preserve knowledge like this, is a great understanding (and maybe a standard) for how AIs are trained. Then we know how to feed this information in such a way that it is prioritised over misinformation. I think that's the greatest challenge of AI at the moment, that it's not very transparent how information is weighed. But that's a side-track. Secondly, what is very important, is that we tell these stories. Through blogs, photos, videos. By observing, by interviewing. I think Vrypan said in another comment that loss of knowledge is unavoidable and a reality of human history. But we, almost anybody around the world, have the tools in our pocket to preserve this knowledge. If at all possible, you could even start during your upcoming trip if you find a way to record some of it. Maybe get a solar charger for your phone so you can (with permission, of course) film some of it. But I actually assume that is already your plan.

Loss of knowledge is unavoidable. I accept this, while we can also try to limit the amount or rate of loss. And yes of course I will bring extra batteries and I will take pics and videos and write in my journal. ☺️
