We constantly define, interpret, translate, and express meanings— often unconsciously, usually implicitly. Many philosophers and psychologists would say that meaning-making is an intrinsically human activity, maybe even the defining human activity. But that’s changing. In the future, we’ll share meanings with computers, AIs, and robots. And that makes meanings matter even more.
