Intuition—What It Is and How It Relates to Artificial Intelligence (AI)?!!!***@@!

 Intuition is a major tool for my work as an energy healer. I also rely on it during my “real life”. A lot of us do. In fact, statistically, over 50 percent of Americans trust their intuition. Business executives? They know that they key to success is their Spidey-senses, and 62 percent of them rely on their gut to make decisions.

 The purpose of this Tuesday Tip is to discuss intuition, but in two ways. First I’ll present three major explanations about how intuition operates. Then I’m going to take us down an alleyway that few of us have explored.

 Intuition and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

 The three main approaches I use to explain intuition are biological, energetic, and quantum. I’ll tackle these one at a time.

Biologically, intuitive insights are often related to the powers of the brain and the neurological system. This cognitive approach suggests that intuition is the ability of both the head and enteric system (gut) brains to perceive data without being fully aware of its perceptions. We then make a leap in logic.

The idea is that our feelings, mainly produced in the gut, are programmed to attune us to what is best for ourselves and others. Our memories form patterns that help us decode a current situation, and voila—we receive an intuitive flash. In this model intuition is a sort of implicit learning process.

The second main philosophy about intuition is based on energetics,. One of the earliest projects of the Institute of HeartMath concretized the fact that everything as energy as a basis for comprehending intuition. The idea is that we are all energetically sensitivity because we are made of oscillating fields of light and sound. Intuition is the result of our nervous system responding to others’ energetic fields. The exchange of energetic data through our fields becomes the foundation for intuitive conclusions.

The final of three concepts  is my own favorite and involves the quantum playground. Given that everything is quantum and that information can be exchanged faster than the speed of light, intuition is considered a non-local phenomenon. The premise is that we co-exist in a great field of quantum foam, which means that we are simultaneously interconnected with everything and everyone else. Whatever we need to know is already available, all the time.

 Where does AI fit in?

 Increasingly, AI is being considered an ally of our personal intuition. AI is great at processing lots of data and perceiving patterns quickly. Intuition provides context, judgment, and emotions. My own thought is that as fast as AI is, it is not yet quantum-fast, whereas intuition, the bridge between us and the greater universe and can receive information faster than the speed of light. When you put these two forces together, there are a few ways we can use both AI and intuition at the same time. Basically, do a bunch of research on AI then let your intuition decide what to do or not.

 AI cannot come up with the unprecedented, although it can make leaps in logic. Human intuition, especially within a person who has practiced noticing and following it, can do that. AI can only form conclusions that are equal to the information input into its systems. We humans can access all sorts of unconscious data sources, including biological, energetic, and quantum impressions. How about seeing if the following would work for you?

• Research an important question or concern on AI
• Use several AI sources then combine them; remember, AI is only as good as its programmers
• Use your own logic to formulate conclusions
• Give yourself a day or two to let your intuitive faculties review the ideas or patterns formulated by AI
• Then let your intuition guide you

We can benefit from AI if we don’t lose what we’re good at. Our humanity.
