This book discusses
In the future, will the fate of mankind and mankind be affected by higher technology? For example, what about controlled by artificial intelligence?
How can ordinary people prevent this from happening?
Prediction 1
Human beings promote the development of science and technology while pursuing free will
Technology makes human life more and more convenient, and at the same time it also quietly controls humans, and may one day turn humans into slaves.
Prediction 2
99% of humanity will be reduced to a "useless class" with no meaning in existence.
1% of wealthy people can become supermen through genetic modification and other means.
Basic status of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence has not yet developed its own free will
Compared with artificial intelligence, people now need to be more vigilant about technology.
Modern society with technological development
On the one hand, refuse to be controlled by poisonous technology and have the ability to think independently.
On the other hand, it is the best choice for mankind to add human factors to science and technology and make science and technology more warm.
Therefore, in the future, human concerns and humanistic factors must be included in the evaluation of technological development. Technology cannot be allowed to develop freely and become a threat to mankind, nor can technology be allowed to be controlled by capital and become a tool to enslave mankind.
Responding to technological threats
Requires the ability to think independently
Don’t follow the advice of artificial intelligence for the convenience of the moment.
Be wary of toxic technologies
Do not completely deny the positive role of technology
Improve cognitive habits and adjust your attitude
What is Poison Technology
In order to solve a certain problem, human beings invent technology to solve the problem.
However, the underlying reasons behind it have not been solved, but instead caused bigger problems.
What is toxic is not the technology, but the people who invent and use it.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with technology itself; what is wrong is humankind’s attitude towards technology.
The threat itself has a positive effect
What artificial intelligence brings to us may be a bright future or a gloomy tomorrow.
If you can recognize the threat, you can reverse the future and control the outcome.
Although artificial intelligence has high intelligence, it does not know how to think and learn, and has no independent consciousness. There is currently no threat to humans, but people’s attitudes towards technology are worthy of vigilance.
In the face of the proliferation of toxic technologies and artificial intelligence, what can be done to change the future predicted by Harari?
2. How does artificial intelligence control humans?
Human desires are endless
The more technology develops, the more dependent humans become.
Humanity’s excessive reliance on and trust in artificial intelligence is paving the way for future crises
Artificial intelligence is quietly controlling every aspect of humankind
1. What is free will and why it is so important to human beings?
Freedom is the right to make your own choices.
No one wants to be forced to do anything, otherwise there will be strong resistance.
The history of human development follows: If free will cannot be satisfied, new technology will be developed to satisfy it.
