Occupying Our Lives

Nour DabainJuly 29, 2024AI and the Future of Knowledge

The best thing is to know the future, but what is more important than that is to live reality and live it step by step.

The Internet is now a priority for every person on earth. It's as if they can't live without it. The Internet is important but intelligence is more important. The future is in danger, because the Internet is controlling our minds and it is extremely dangerous, like AI. Anything can be done in a single image — of a friend, brother, or relatives — that is spread on the Internet. The person in that image can be framed for committing a crime or worse.

Modern technology may occupy the world in the future. After humans invented these devices, they began to rely on them, not on their own knowledge.

AI could lead to discriminatory outcomes in areas such as hiring, lending, and criminal justice. Technology could lead to many misunderstandings. Robots will be able to learn and adapt to new situations, making them more effective. Machines could become so advanced that they could hack into computer networks. If AI were to become super intelligent and better than human intelligence, it could become increasingly difficult for us to control it.

Control over technology is important because being always on technology can distract you and destroy your ability to focus at work. Technology can affect our brains in a lot of ways. It can lead to depression or a decline in critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities.

Human intelligence uses the brain, memory, and mental abilities, while AI relies on data provided by the human. Human intelligence is more powerful than AI, because AI relies on what humans provide it. AI is smart but can't survive without human suggestions and information.

Should we let these electronics and robots occupy our lives?
