Preface
As a passionate seeker of knowledge, I embarked on a transformative journey into the world of knowledge management three decades ago, driven by a vision of a future where every individual on Earth could instantly access and leverage the collective wisdom of humanity through the power of extraordinary human knowledge and experiences, new knowledge processes, intelligent digital systems and networks, the internet, the worldwide web and mobile devices.
This captivating idea, that knowledge could be democratized and made available to all, anytime and anywhere, started a fire within me that would shape the course of my life and work.
In 1988, I found myself at the doorstep of Essex University, UK, enrolling in an MSc program that promised to unveil the mysteries of artificial intelligence, knowledge science and knowledge technologies. Simultaneously, I immersed myself in the ancient traditions of yoga and meditation, studying mornings, evenings and weekends, to become a teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga.
This dual pursuit, delving into the realms of both cutting-edge technology and timeless wisdom, sparked a profound curiosity about the nature of knowledge itself—from the intuitive insights that arise in moments of deep introspection to the vast repositories of information that shape our understanding of the world. . . .
We stand at the threshold of a new era, one in which the boundary between human knowledge and artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly blurred, giving rise to unprecedented capabilities and challenges in what I see as an exponentially growing global knowledge and AI driven economy. The journey ahead will be one of exploration, adaptation, and continuous learning as we strive to harness the power of knowledge and innovation in service of the greater good.
It is my hope that by sharing the ideas, insights, and frameworks contained within this book, I can contribute to the collective understanding and innovative thinking required to build a future in which knowledge truly empowers and enlightens us all.
