Will AI develop better intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw)?

May 27, 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming the best technology (tool and method) for developing intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw). This "ikw" is the key to creating a good life (i.e. a productive and enjoyable existence). 

What is intelligence?

Intelligence is the ability to acquire knowledge and develop skills to achieve wisdom. Below, the proposition that all intelligence comes from data processing, and that without data processing there is no intelligence. Before, brief questions and answers about what is knowledge, what are skills, how are knowledge and skill acquired, what is wisdom and how it is acquired. After that, a brief observation about how AI may be the best technology (tool and method) for the acquisition of intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom (ikw). 

What is knowledge?

Knowledge is awareness of events; understanding of causality of those events; and mastery predicting those events.

  • Awareness comes from "sensing" (i.e. registering) changes in environmental variables. Biological cells develop environmental awareness by registering reactions to changes in the environment. 
  • Understanding causality comes from learning (connecting neurally) which processed reactions (PR) to changes in the environment lead to which internal results.
  • Mastery of predictability comes from recognizing what changes in which variables correspond to which changes in what environmental events. 

How is knowledge acquired?

The Three Es of Learning. Knowledge is acquired from learning which comes from experience, experimentation, and education (EEE) or the "3Es of learning". 

  • Experience is perceiving reactions (PR) to an event (i.e. a change in environmental variables). Experiencing a change entails perceiving reactions (PR) to the environmental change and reactions
  • Experimentation is forcing an event to register its processed reactions (PR).             
  •  Education is going over the processed reactions (PR) to an experience or experimentation. 

What are skills?

Skills are applied knowledge. Skills are are learned and developed by practice. Procedural repetition (PR) of synaptic connections enforce the connections, leading to learning and development of skills.

What is wisdom?

Wisdom is optimal agency (choice or decision-making) by applying knowledge and skills to obtain desired results and avoid undesirable ones.

How is ikw developed?

Developing ikw (intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom) is all about data processing. That is, it's all about the intake of certain input, and its processing (applying a function) to generate an output. In living organisms, the cells are the data processing units. In artificial units, the microprocessors are the data processing units. 

To be continued. It's clear where this is going. The better the data processing, the better ikw. The better ikw, the best life possible.

Stay tuned.

Will AI enslave or free humans?

April 9, 2024 Who knows. The most likely scenario is that AI will free humans, not only from forced work for survival and that AI may become the new "slave". AI may also help humans turn into a more advanced (less biological and more artificial) species. Chances are that no human who is alive today will ever see that form of transhumanism materialize. Some current humans may likely live in a transitional phase where AI will continue replacing human workers in every field, allowing humans more free time to become the new "slave masters" on Earth.  We have discussed in many past articles slavery as one of the foundational technologies (tools and methods) developed by humans. All great human civilizations were built on the backs of slaves and slavery-based agricultural economies. The machines of the industrial revolution eventually replaced slaves and freed them globally. AI is the new "slave" and will lead to a new "slavery-based" economy that will

What is AI, what is the Problem Paradox, what are problems and what are solutions?

January 20, 2024  Artificial intelligence (AI) is human-like computerized problem-solving ability.  The Problem Paradox is that the solutions to problems create more problems, which are oftentimes more complex than the original ones. AI will become humanity's problem-solving utility of choice. AI will solve problems faster than any human--or all of humanity for that matter--could ever solve alone. This means that AI will create more problems faster than any previous technology in the history of humanity. This will be nerve wracking for many, and also an incredible business opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors. This article explores what are problems, what are solutions, and what are common problem-solving techniques. It continues introducing the Creatix Medium's concept of the Problem Paradox and begins to drop a new Creatix concept about the AI of Everything. Let us know what you think. AI is the latest "fad" in computer science, and the hottest bubble craze i

Can the essence of animal life be programmed into AI?

September 22, 2023 Yes, the essence of animal life can be programmed into AI.  The first step would be determining what is the essence of animal life. As everything else in this universe, life seems to be related to balancing or neutralizing opposite states. Opposites refer to symmetrical antithesis in value. This universe seems to work by dynamically interplaying opposite states. That could be opposite spin, direction, charge, force, etc.  Animal life seems to hinge on the dynamic balancing of opposite electrochemical impulses produced by the brain. These two opposite impulses are what humans refer to as "pain' and "pleasure". Everything an animal life is controlled by pain and pleasure. Everything an animal, including all humans, have ever done in history, are doing today, and will do tomorrow is utterly controlled by the dynamic interplay of painful and pleasurable electrochemical impulses orchestrated by the brain.  The pain / pleasure pathways are inherited (gen
