Artificial intelligence is after all artificial – by Mediaplus' Azhar Siddiqui - Campaign Middle East
But this is not going to be an easy journey and there is a real danger that if do not consciously put a real effort into this evolution, we very well may end up living in a real-life Hollywood movie where we become slaves to our machines. We continue to place more and more emphasis on the sciences, finance, production and data processing, and in doing so we are becoming more machine-like and less human ourselves. We equate success with machine-like productivity and evaluate progress through the equation of output of goods and services that have a material or monetary value. We need to stop this obsession and learn how to balance it better with our humanness. This is not going to come automatically, for this requires us to learn the techniques and put in the hard work and commitment required to understand our own humanity first.
