When All Human Knowledge is Available: What Should You Focus On? Navigating the Infinite Library Without Getting Lost in the Stacks In an age where the sum of human knowledge is one click away, the question isn’t about access—it’s about direction. What do you  choose  to focus on when everything is available? This question reframes knowledge not as scarcity, but as an overwhelming abundance. The key lies in prioritization, relevance, and depth. This post will help you answer that question in your own context—with strategy and curiosity.

The question “What questions should we be asking AI?” isn’t just about prompt engineering—it’s about responsibility, foresight, and power.  The quality of our questions determines how AI evolves, who it serves, and who it ignores. From predictive policing to medical diagnostics, our interactions with AI are shaped not only by the data and code—but by the questions that went unasked. Why Now? We’re living through a  “question crisis.”  AI systems are making real-world decisions based on poorly framed problems. Healthcare AI : IBM’s Watson for Oncology offered flawed recommendations because it was trained on hypothetical cases from a single hospital. Missing question: Is our data globally representative?
