If Responsible Business Intelligence (RBI) stems from the three concepts of:
The responsible use of Business Intelligence (BI)
The responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The application of BI and AI by Responsible Businesses

In 1930, John Maynard Keynes, wrote an article in “Essays in Persuasion” titled "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren" imagining a 2030 future with a 15-hour workweek, driven by technological advances, where society's main challenge would be adjusting for a lifestyle of increased leisure time and improved quality of life. As Keynes pointed out, possibly society's greatest challenge - assuming we could work together responsibly to avoid the existential threats - was how to adapt:
"Yet there is no country and no people, I think, who can look forward to the age of leisure and of abundance without a dread. For we have been trained too long to strive and not to enjoy. It is a fearful problem for the ordinary person, with no special talents, to occupy himself, especially if he no longer has roots in the soil or in custom or in the beloved conventions of a traditional society."
It took much less than the seismic shift in employment rates Keynes is predicting to overturn societal order in Europe only a few years after he wrote his essay.
Whether or not we are prepared for the unprecedented rate of change we will experience over the next few decades, this change is coming. The more Responsible Governments and Responsible Businesses can partner with all of society to engage on the real and perceived risks and opportunities that humanity is facing, the better equipped we will be to make this transition successfully.
