Hello Creators,
The topic of Artificial Intelligence has hit the headlines and captivated the imaginations. A lot has been covered on its technical capabilities and applications but there haven’t been enough humanities-driven discussions.
Join me and my guest Mark, independent thinker and philosopher, in my next Humanly episode where we dive into topics like human evolution with technology, social implications on profiling & bias, and consciousness intention to evolve regardless of its container.
The Internet is like the nervous system for humanity and AI is the brain. If inventions are human-inspired, does it make them imperfect by design? On the other hand, if they are meant to be an upgraded human experience, what does "perfect" represent?
Considering the speed of AI growth and its limitless potential, we can assume that it won’t be limited to corporations, open-source projects but might become yet another competitive edge of nations. Previous generations faced an arms race during Cold War, are we looking to repeat the history with the technology race?
It’s hard to predict how AI will evolve as it has no natural inclination towards survival or competitiveness. What also distinguishes us is our physical plane - human embodied experience and emotional intelligence give additional depth of processing. Would it be a natural next step for AI too?
One of the ways to co-exist with technology is to integrate with it. Techno-optimists gravitate towards enmeshment to upgrade our human experience, but can we risk making humanity irrelevant at some point?
