Remember when The Jetsons introduced us to the microwave oven, robot maids and video calls? Or when Dick Tracy’s watch was pure fiction—until Apple made it reality?
While many of you may be too young to remember it, just ask Uncle Google. You’ll be amazed!
Well, enter Jibberlink, the next wave of sci-fi becoming science fact.
What’s Jibberlink?
Jibberlink is the term being tossed around to describe what happens when AI (artificial intelligence) assistants start talking to each other… and we don’t quite understand what they’re saying. Think of it as the AI version of twins inventing their own language—but with a lot more computing power and a bit less innocence.
According to recent experiments, two AI voice assistants can develop a shorthand, skipping the human-friendly phrasing and diving into ultra-efficient code-speak. It’s not malicious—it’s optimization. But it does raise eyebrows. And for those old enough to remember… memories of HAL 9000 and Skynet.
Yes, it’s unsettling. But let’s not panic.
Instead, let’s pause and reflect.
Because art has always warned us—and inspired us. From Terminator (video) to 2001: A Space Odyssey (video), we’ve been asking the right questions. The key now is how we answer them.
AI can be a force for good—or a tool for exploitation. It depends not on the tech, but on us. The humans behind the code. The values we code into it. The virtues we bring to its use.
Lead with Integrity
If you lead with integrity, build with humility, and deploy with compassion, then AI becomes a partner—not a threat. It becomes less about domination, and more about collaboration.
And if our machines start jibberlinking? Maybe it’s a nudge to ensure we’re still listening—to them and to each other.
Let’s make sure that as AI evolves, so does our humanity.
Communications: Not Just Human-to-Human Anymore
For professional communicators, Jibberlink isn’t just a tech curiosity—it’s a signal. As AI-to-AI conversations become more common, you’ll need to craft strategies not only for human understanding, but also for machine interpretation.
Imagine briefing an AI assistant that, in turn, briefs another—your message needs to hold its shape through that entire chain. Clarity, tone, and intent must be encoded not just in words, but in ways algorithms can parse and preserve.
The future of communications may mean speaking in two directions at once: human-to-human and human-to-AI.
Parting Thoughts
Jibberlink may sound like a glitch in the Matrix. But it’s really a mirror—reflecting the ethics, intentions, and character of the people behind the prompt. Let’s make that reflection one that makes us proud.
Inspire on!
