SHAE O. OMONIJO

The Optimist
Analog Founder, tech literacy specialist & Harvard PhD Candidate

“Humans and critical thinking will be very valuable in the next era of the AI economy”

“Market driven AI models are running out of useful data; humanists hold the key to solving this.”

Shae recognised we are reaching a data cliff for credible data, human generated data GPT models sustain themselves on.

Previously, models were trained by nonconsensually scraping information online. But even the internet has a finite number of data and major issues with credibility…

WE DON’T HAVE A TECH SHORTAGE, WE HAVE A CREDIBILITY SHORTAGE
In order for GPT models to continue growing, they must turn to non-digitised data. The kind gatekept by Archivists, Librarians and Knowledge Workers!

This can be seen by Anthropic paying writers upwards of $300k to critically and strategically work on the development of their software.

In Shae’s Substack ‘AI Collapse Thesis, she says the foundation of the new era of AI will need humanist scholars working in metadata, digitalisation, rights management & cataloging.

Rather than eroding humanities, Shae believes these skills will become more valuable than ever!

TECH LITERACY IN THE AGE OF AI
AIAnother pillar of Shae’s work focuses on promoting tech literacy.

Adamantly against using AI for cognitive work, she creates to “help us stay human” in the rapidly developing digital world.

Shae argues that AI is not solely to blame, our brains had already been adapting to the electronic chatter made up of algorithms, speed and volume.

“AI should help you think deeper, not for you.”

This is why Shae published her very critical thinking bot!

This tool works alongside your ideas, never writing or thinking for you

Rather than building something sycophantic, Shae’s bot will only help you until your idea is concise & defensible!

WHY SHE’S A GODMOTHER
Shae O.Omonijo used her political science background to become a vital asset in making AI discourse more accessible.

Shae has identified problems on a micro level and translated them into macro scale systemic analysis! She is innovatively creating tools to combat the issues surrounding data privacy & critical thinking skills that we believe will have a global impact!
