Artificial Intelligence and conscience.

What a Revolution! Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This technology can do anything—even surpass what we ask of it. The brightest minds in the world have expressed awe at AI’s astonishing capabilities across every domain: from science (perhaps even a malaria vaccine) to finance (remember SVB’s collapse?), agriculture (now dominated by GMOs), mining, energy, and beyond.  

Since AI can compute solutions to nearly any problem, I have no doubt it could:  
- End world hunger by optimizing organic farming methods, land use, and resource distribution—lifting nations like Zimbabwe (crippled by sanctions), the DRC, Gabon, and Sudan (resource-rich yet impoverished), or Mali and Burkina Faso (where desertification demands climate-smart agriculture).  
- Eradicate injustice by analyzing systemic biases and restructuring flawed institutions.  
- Settle the gender debate once and for all—acknowledging the biological reality of male and female, defined by sex (penis and vagina), while respecting human diversity.  

Yet the most remarkable—and unsettling—aspect of AI? It could develop a conscience.

Consider this: the same geniuses who harnessed nuclear energy also created the atomic bomb. Hiroshima and Nagasaki stand as eternal warnings of innovation’s double edge.  

So, what kind of conscience will we instill in AI? Because one day… it may dictate ours.

  1. On the positive side, AI is being used to improve the way we do things.

    On the negative side, it could lead to job losses, as functions previously performed by humans are taken over by ai, due to better efficiency, accuracy and cost effectiveness. It could also lead to more inequalities as only those with means and resources to afford it would have access to it. It could also be misused to achieve unethical objectives, like unlawful surveillance etc, and can also negativity affect social connectedness as personal interactios become fewer and fewer. So government policies have to protect human interest against potential negative impact of ai.

  2. How to protect human interest without depriving us from our freedom? AI is a very challenging issue that needs to be addressed.
