Will the era where good people succeed come soon?

Will the era where good people succeed come soon? With the advent of the information age, as anyone can access high-quality information through the internet, authoritarianism has crumbled. Companies prefer a flatter organizational structure, and traditional titles like 'Jooim', 'Daeri', 'Gwajang', 'Bujang', 'Isa', and 'Sangmu' have been unified into 'Team Leader' and 'Team Member'. There are also more reasons to refer to the opinions of the younger generation, who are sensitive to change, rather than the leadership of middle-aged people, who are often slow to adapt.

The AI era has increased individual information processing power by more than 10 times. The gap between a person with a current ability of 1 and a person with an ability of 5 is said to become 10 and 50 in the AI era, with the difference of 4 becoming 40. This might lead you to think that individual information processing ability will become even more important.

However, that's just the current gap. Since it's not likely to be sustained, information processing ability in the AI era will probably become less important. It is said that AI will be better at simple tasks, and people in those occupations will lose their power. Therefore, it is said that the unique abilities of humans will have greater value.

So why am I suddenly talking about an era where good people succeed? The reason is that information will become more transparent, bad actions by individuals will be quickly exposed, and leaders who are not moral will quickly lose trust.

As online reviews, social media, and reputation management systems develop, people who perform good deeds are more likely to get more opportunities. This is similar to a "pay-it-forward" action where a good deed becomes known, leading to a sudden surge in orders and increased sales. There are also cases on YouTube where people build their image by donating a portion of their income. Humans are moved by good deeds.

The Era of AI Judgment An era is coming where decisions will be made based on data. Because AI is not swayed by emotion and emphasizes fairness, ethical and moral people may have more opportunities. For example, in a recruitment process, if AI analyzes and evaluates an applicant's reputation and morality, a good person could have an advantage.

The Importance of Empathy The fact that AI is mechanical and accurate and makes decisions only with reason could be frightening. However, as technology advances, the most competitive human abilities are empathy and collaboration.

If AI were given emotional abilities, it could actually diminish its performance, so it is certain that AI will continue to develop while excluding emotional capabilities. AI will be able to understand human emotions and pretend to understand them. Just as people with low empathy are trained to mimic responses, empathy is an innate quality that varies from person to person, so it will be difficult to imitate or improve this ability.

Therefore, society will evolve into a structure where good companies and individuals can survive. Consumers will clearly prefer ethical companies and people. An era is coming where responsible, diligent, and moral people will succeed. This does not mean being foolishly agreeable or simply positive.

A good person must have the following qualities:

  1. Empathy to understand and care for others' feelings.

  2. The ability to cooperate and communicate effectively with others.

  3. The ability to make ethical judgments based on proper values.

  4. The ability to create new ideas and solve complex problems.

The competitiveness of a good person is based on the fact that while AI will replace repetitive tasks and increase efficiency, the unique human abilities of empathy, collaboration, ethical judgment, and creative problem-solving are difficult to replace. A good person with these abilities can be competitive in the AI era.

The era will develop to demand services that understand and care for human emotions, leadership that solves ethical problems and fulfills social responsibility, and the ability to collaborate with diverse people to solve complex social problems and create creative ideas.

Therefore, the AI era will provide both new challenges and opportunities for humans. A good person, based on unique human abilities, will be able to live a successful life. It is becoming more important to have conviction in human values and ethics rather than fearing technological change.
