When you think about the next 10 years, what do you believe will be the pace of change in the world and your life due to new AI capabilities?Consider the research, teaching, administrative, and social aspects of your life and work.
Steady Optimization - Ongoing incremental improvements to AI will steadily optimize existing processes but no major disruptions in the next 10 years.
Steady Transformation - Steady, incremental improvements in AI capabilities will gradually transform existing industries through an extended transition period over the next 10 years.
Punctuated Equilibrium - Gradual AI progress will persist until punctuated by sudden radical breakthroughs that profoundly transform society but not in the next 10 years.
Imminent Disruption - Major advances in AI along with other scientific and technological breakthroughs will profoundly reshape entire industries in the next 10 years.

Which archetype best describes your current approach to using AI in your work?Select one or more.
The Explorer: I am beginning to more actively explore and experiment with emerging AI capabilities for specific tasks.
The Enthusiast: I am working to fully integrate AI in all aspects of my administrative, analytic, and creative work as I explore the boundaries of human-AI collaboration.
The Augmenter: I use AI to augment analytic tasks and repetitive administrative work, but I do not use it for creative work or complex decision-making.
The Unimpressed: I have tried out some of the new AI tools but found them unimpressive and not relevant to my work
The Pragmatist: I selectively use AI where proven valuable but remain skeptical of hype.
The Ethicist: I'm reluctant to adopt AI because of ethical concerns like bias, privacy risks, and/or environmental concerns.
The Unplugged: I rarely use AI due to my preference for a digital-minimalist lifestyle to stay focused on human interactions.
