Shokunindo was established by Tom Burrow to empower individuals in the age of Artificial and Super Intelligence (AI/SI). An amalgam of the Japanese words shokunin - “craftsman,” and do - “the way”, Shokunindo encapsulates the philosophy, principles, and dedication of the craftsman, and their pursuit of excellence beyond technical skills including the ethical, aesthetic, and philosophical approach to one’s profession.
The principles of this philosophy encourage a lifelong commitment to perfecting one's craft and maintaining a high standard of quality and integrity in all aspects of one’s profession - to proactively determine how to employ the day’s technology, such as Artificial and Super Intelligence, to achieve one’s unique ambitions.
The philosophy, principles and practices in Shokunindo provide a path to guide how innovation and new ways of thinking can help to achieve our collective life-long and professional objectives.
