If the first word is ‘artificial,’ can we still call it ‘intelligence’?
The article discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on society, raising concerns about its effects on perception, reality, and critical thinking. The author argues that AI needs regulation to mitigate its negative consequences.
Technology is increasingly intertwined with our lives, testing our sense of reality. AI-generated fake images and questions about AI use in journalism are recent examples. While technology has enhanced our lives, it also sows doubt about perception and erodes faith in institutions. AI is used for government surveillance and consumes large amounts of electricity and water. The AI genie is out of the bottle, but it needs regulation. The public outcry and political will necessary for regulation have yet to materialize. AI can be a valuable tool for writers, but it also risks diminishing critical thinking skills. The struggle to write coherently is essential for developing mental capacities.
