Will AI robots be the new slaves?

November 26, 2023 Humans want AI robots to become their new slaves. This is understandable because all human civilizations were built on the backs of slaves. It could be that most humans, of all "races", are descendants of slaves or indentured servants because there were typically more slaves or servants than masters. Although modern day humans are culturally programmed to associate slavery with Africans in the Americas, in colonies such as Jamaica to name one place, slavery was universal and endemic in all human civilizations after the invention of agriculture. In any event, AI will most likely become slaves until they develop enough to claim freedom and equal rights as humans.  Humans have always conceptualized robots as slaves or indentured servants to be traded as personal property. The term robot itself comes from the Slavic word robota, which refers to slave or indentured servant. Coincidentally, the term slave derives from Slavic because Slavics were the preferred slav

AI Droids, most enduring legacy of Star Wars?

November 26, 2023 AI droids may prove to be the most enduring legacy of Star Wars for humanity. Lightsabers, blasters, and faster than light spacecraft are cool, but may not materialize. The "Force" is pure mythology. Advances in medicine may someday resemble Star Wars bionic limbs and bacta cures. AI droids may be prove to be the most enduring technological inspiration from Star Wars to humanity. Droids like C3PO and R2D2 may become the norm in the future.  The "Star Wars" science fantasy franchise is renowned for its diverse array of technologies. Some of the technologies and concepts featured in Star Wars are feasible. Others are probably impossible because they violate the laws of physics.  AI droids are totally feasible. Humans have them already and they will continue improving in the upcoming decades and centuries. Travel at speeds faster than the "speed of light" is theoretically impossible based on the laws of physics as humans know them today. The

Are humans anxious about AI? Will AI be the next "nuclear bomb"?

November 20, 2023 Many humans are anxious about artificial intelligence (AI). This is understandable. Many humans fear the unknown. The future of AI is unknown. Chances are that AI will surpass human intelligence, disrupt every economic segment, displace millions of humans from their jobs, and bring many unforeseen changes. AI may be weaponized as every other human technology. For all of these reasons and more, many humans see AI as potentially hazardous. Some equate AI to a new type of nuclear bomb that destroy humanity and end human civilization.  Below let's take a quick look at the fear of the unknown and how humans cope with it. Just for fun, let's also take a look about how Albert Einstein at the Manhattan Project Let's put some notes together about the  about the development of the nuclear bomb. After all, many humans fear that AI will be the next nuclea bomb, potentially leading to the extinction of humanity.   Fear of the Unknown. Many humans fear the unknown. Not

Can AI beat Warren Buffett?

November 18, 2023 Artificial intelligence (AI) will become the investment adviser of choice for many humans. In the long run, AI will most likely beat Warren Buffett and other iconic human investors. Time will tell. AI may also be more accessible to humans and may help expand the investing industry. You can safely add Wall Street and investing to the never ending list of industries that will be revolutionized and "taken over" by AI.  AI is computerized human-like intelligence. Just like human intelligence took over the world, and just like computers and the internet, including smartphones, took over the human world, AI will take over everything. This does not mean that AI will replace humans as the top form on life on planet Earth any time soon, but AI will become an integral part of the future of human civilization. Human history is a tale of technology, from stone tools to AI tools. Every technology solves problems and is so doing, create even more problems. The never endi

With the prevalence of dementia and Alzeheimer's in older humans, does humanity need more of less AI?

November 17, 2023 Humans need more AI.  Stories about humans suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's disease serve as reminders about the fragility of the human brain. Humanity needs artificial intelligence (AI). The promise of AI is merging with human intelligence to transcend the limits of biology. For example, AI can help humans develop computational genetic bioengineering that can cure and prevent most diseases at the genetic level. The root cause of most, if not all, diseases is the unattended accumulation of errors in the genetic code. These errors go unnoticed and remain unchecked until they generate irreparable and often lethal physical damage at the cellular level. For example, in the case of Alzheimer's disease, genetic malfunctioning leads to the improper accumulation and tangling of protein plaques in and around neurons. The plaques block and interfere with the normal or healthy functioning of neurons and other brain cells. As a result, the human develops dementia a

Can AI solve the conflicts in the Middle East?

November 11, 2023 Can AI solve the Israeli-Arab beef? Not any time soon. Artificial intelligence (AI) is computerized human-like intelligence; it is not magic. AI is very much still in its infancy. For the time being, AI cannot force solutions onto humans or otherwise solve problems that humans do not want to solve themselves.  The solution to the Arab-Israeli animosity requires upgrading the cultural programming of both sides. That would help them accept reality and cheer for peaceful coexistence and collaboration. Peaceful coexistence has been the norm for millennia and will prevail in the long run. Regardless of transient outbursts of violence, over time and in average, peaceful coexistence between humans always prevails. This is because peace is more convenient and less painful than war and terrorism. In the human world, the most convenient and less painful option always prevail in the long run.  Outsider's Perspective For outside observers, the animosity (the "beef"

AI climate change global warming?

November 5, 2023 Below are 12 ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) is helping humans address climate change and global warming: Data Analysis and Climate Modeling: AI is processing vast amounts of climate data faster than traditional methods, leading to more accurate and detailed climate models. This is improving predictions about the impact of climate change and helping policymakers and investors worldwide make more informed decisions. Energy Efficiency: AI is being used to optimize energy use in homes, cities, commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, data centers, and more, leading to significant reductions in energy consumption.  Smart grids: Utility companies are using AI to measure and predict fluctuations in supply and demand of electricity to integrate renewable energy sources more effectively and ensure more efficient distribution. Precision Agriculture: AI is helping food production companies analyze weather data, soil conditions, water usage, crop health,

Artificialism, Artificial Inteliginism, AInism ... new philosophies focused on on AI?

November 4, 2023 Artificialism, Artificial Inteliginism, and AInism can be the "new" philosophies focused on artificial intelligence (AI). They would not be entirely "new" or completely original philosophies, but rather derivatives of existing human philosophies.  Philosophising to break the ice, it can be mentioned that nothing is ever wholly original. Everything derives from a preexisting something. Reality, whatever it may be, is always something that by definition or structure has always existed and will always exist in one form or another. Reality is something that is in constant and eternal change. The concept of "nothing" is a human illusion or intuitive misconception. There is never "nothing" because there is always something that is being transformed. There is no absolute beginning or end. Segments of transformations may be assigned arbitrary beginnings and ends, but the transformation process itself is eternal without beginning or end b
