The Pollution of AI

In its successful understanding of phenomena, science allows us to solve problems by concentrating on some of their characteristics to find optimal solutions along these chosen characteristics. It provides analytical and precise dedicated solutions along a particular set of dominant attributes of interest where all other criteria are set aside. The adoption of such dedicated one-sided solutions that can maximize the "profit" in one area of interest can lead to pollution, namely a cumulative adverse effect on other aspects of the problem that are collaterally related to the focus of the dedicated solution. We therefore have environmental pollution by maximizing the rate of industrial production or social pollution of poverty in some parts of the population due to a sterile maximization of economic growth. These causes of pollution emerge out of a scientific understanding of the world (physical or socioeconomic) through which it is possible to find and engineer solutions dedicated to a particular area of interest.
