Being Human in the age of Artificial Intelligence

If you read through the human history, especially the last 2,000 years, you will notice that famines, diseases and wars were the three most formidable challenges that we had to face (or as I call it -- the trifecta of human sufferings). Our response to the trifecta was mostly to seek safety and pray for our survival. History also tells us that when faced with external threats and no possible solutions in sight, we turned inwards and sought solace in numbers to overcome some serious challenges to our species' survival. Gradually, these cycles of sufferings led to emergence and prevalence of the unifying behavior of collaboration amongst humans. Tremendous efforts and resources, collaborated at extraordinary scale, were thrown at solving the trifecta of problems with some amount of success.
