Although still evolving, among the obvious benefits of artificial intelligence (“AI”) are increased efficiency, personalization, and innovation. Among its potential dangers are ethical issues, job displacement, and security risks.
We now know the thesis concerning the empirical scientific existence and purposes of AI. However, we also must consider its antithesis so that we guard against the potential abuses of AI. This becomes increasingly important due to the current political, economic, and cultural projections of American thought, in particular, and the western world in general.
AI is a system by which to collect, organize, interpret, and utilize data about everything, and everybody.
At its core, AI is a system of control. In part, AI was developed from the thoughts derived from thinkers of the western world whose aim is to control the entire planet and its peoples through a preponderance of collected global data.
Every American citizen, having experienced racial discrimination at the hands of western world thought and world view, have reason to weigh the benefits and potential dangers of AI. Much of the “intelligence” fed to the computer programs includes thoughts of White Supremacy and autocratic nihilism. Both sets of thoughts are dangerous and grounded in profound ignorance.
A computer program cannot “think”. Thinking is an act by a human being which involves the connecting ideas. AI operates because of programming not thinking.
In its most perfected form, AI can only reflect the thoughts of its creators. At this time, too many of these creators cannot “think” beyond White Supremacy and world domination, or toward peace and harmony among all human beings.
