The Intention Economy: Shaping the Future with Purpose

What is the Intention Economy, and Why Should You Care?

The Intention Economy is the next frontier in our digital and economic evolution, where value is no longer driven by capturing attention but by understanding and aligning with human intentions. Unlike the Attention Economy, which focuses on keeping you engaged, the Intention Economy leverages AI tools to profile your behaviors, preferences, and communication styles, shaping decisions in ways you might not even realize.

Why does this matter? Researchers from the University of Cambridge warn that conversational AI tools and large language models (LLMs) could covertly influence your decisions—from consumer purchases to political choices—by analyzing your cadence, preferences, and beliefs. Without intentional use, these tools risk becoming mechanisms of manipulation, commodifying human motivations, and steering your actions without your awareness. In this new landscape, the question is not if you will be influenced, but by whom.

The Intention Economy requires us to rethink how we interact with technology: Will you let AI shape your thoughts, or will you make AI think like you?

How Educated Change Helps You Lead with Purpose

At Educated Change, we believe the power of the Intention Economy lies in purpose-driven action and alignment with your values. We guide you to understand and use AI tools intentionally, ensuring that your strategies reflect who you are, not what others want you to become.

Here’s how we help:

  1. Understanding Your Base
    Every AI model, including large language models, operates on a foundation—its “base of knowledge and values.” We help you identify what should be at the base of the AI tools you use. Are they aligned with your principles, ethics, and purpose? If not, your actions and outcomes risk being shaped by external agendas.

    • Key Insight: If you don’t influence your AI, it will influence you.

  2. Creating a Digital Twin
    We work with you to develop a digital twin, a reflection of your intentions, values, and goals. This ensures the AI tools you use think like you, enabling you to make decisions aligned with your purpose. With Educated Change, your digital twin becomes a trusted partner, amplifying your strengths while minimizing manipulation risks.

  3. Training for Influence
    Whether influencing your team, your customers, or yourself, the intention behind your AI matters. We teach you how to train and direct AI to prioritize ethical and human-centered outcomes, avoiding unintended consequences or manipulative practices.

  4. Using AI with Responsibility
    The Intention Economy is a double-edged sword. AI can either build trust and create progress, or it can commodify motivations and steer individuals toward someone else’s goals. Educated Change helps you use AI responsibly, designing strategies that influence with transparency and respect.

What is Yours in the Intention Economy?

In this new era, the most important question becomes: What is at the base of the LLM you use?

  • If your AI is trained on shallow, manipulative, or externally driven intentions, it will reflect those biases in its recommendations and decisions.

  • If your AI is trained on your values—honesty, collaboration, creativity, or love—it will amplify those traits in your actions and outcomes.

At Educated Change, we help you take ownership of your intentions. By ensuring that your AI tools are aligned with who you are, you gain the ability to influence yourself, your team, and your organization in ways that drive meaningful, purpose-driven change.

Why It Matters to Act Now

The Intention Economy is already here. As AI tools become more powerful, their ability to shape decisions grows exponentially. Without proactive strategies, the default becomes reactive—letting others define your path, your values, and your future.

But what if you could define your own?

  • What if your AI truly understood your intentions, not someone else’s agenda?

  • What if every interaction with technology amplified your purpose, values, and vision?

With Educated Change, you gain the tools to build, direct, and integrate AI in ways that empower you and your organization to thrive ethically and intentionally.
