13. HPAI Learning Objectives
1. To improve our understandings of humans in order to identify
how to make advanced AI computing systems and software.
2. To increase our understandings of artificial computing systems
and their electronic components in order to better
understand humans.
3. To appraise human aspect limitations of current AI methods
to identify opportunities and a roadmap for next generation
AI systems.

17. Each of Us Holds the Key to AI
A pesar de que una persona puede comenzar su vida como prisionera de los dotes naturales que se
le dieron y las circunstancias en que se criaron, no pueden seguir siendo víctimas de este entorno
para siempre. Eventualmente, cada persona debe llegar a un acuerdo con ella misma. Uno de los
desafíos más grandes de la vida es conocerse a uno mismo, juzgar con justicia las fortalezas y
debilidades de uno, y lograr un verdadero dominio sobre los instintos e inclinaciones más básicos.
Pero en última instancia, el ascenso de cualquiera a una vida de integridad y mérito solo puede venir
como resultado de un completo despertar de sí mismo. Una persona debe llegar a conocerse a sí
misma, así como a los demás, sin engaños ni negaciones. Una persona debe enfrentar y considerar
honestamente todos los aspectos de su carácter. Es este compromiso el que abre la puerta a un
plano superior de existencia.
Even though a person might begin life as a prisoner of the natural endowments they were given and
the circumstances under which they were raised, they cannot remain a victim of this environment
forever. Eventually, every person must come to terms with him or herself. To know oneself, to fairly
judge one's strengths and weaknesses, and to attain true mastery over one's most basic instincts
and inclinations are among life's greatest challenges. But ultimately, anyone's rise to a life of
integrity and merit can only come as the result of a full self-awakening. A person must come to know
themselves as well as others without deceit or denial. A person must honestly face and reckon with
all aspects of their character. It is this commitment that opens the door to a higher plane of existence.

23. Reading
“Decision makers can satisfice either by finding optimum solutions for
a simplified world, or by finding satisfactory solutions for a more
realistic world. Neither approach, in general, dominates the other,
and both have continued to co-exist.” – Simon 1957 (Nobel Economics)
