The Reality of AI | Pt.14 | AI is already playing a massive part in our digital lives.

The AI or Artificial Intelligence that we are focusing on now comes in the overt form of chat bots, work reduction tools and alternatives to the established forms of Search Engines that are springing up everywhere.

They are being discussed in the media in a way that suggests that they have always been here.

However, in this precise form, AI has only been available to us for open use for a matter of weeks or months*.

It is important to understand that anything on a device, on an app or online that does your job for you, completes a task for you, provides a price for you, creates something for you, adjusts something for you, checks something for you or translates something for you, is almost certain to be using a form of AI – to which all Rules, Realities and Actions apply.

AI, in the form of algorithms, has already been in use for a long period of time.

AI is established or being extensively trialed on:

  • Apps
  • Dating Websites
  • CCTV
  • Insurance Company Websites
  • Money Saving Websites
  • Search Engines
  • Smartphones
  • Smart Speakers
  • Smartwatches
  • Social Media
  • Supermarket and Retailer Reward Card Systems
  • Recruitment Websites and the Software that Recruitment Agencies use.
  • Remotely accessible doorbells and CCTV
  • Translation Software
  • Websites where you buy anything or have to enter ANY data about yourself

And the latest information available as I write, suggests that Chat Bots and their functionality will soon be inserted into the instant messaging and direct messaging services that so many of us already use throughout the day too.

The list will grow every day until those benefiting from the roll-out of AI are either stopped or redirected to go in a different way.

Software, programmes or coding of any kind that enable a phone, watch, tablet, laptop, computer, TV, smart speaker or anything else that apparently makes a task easier for us or reduces the effort that either we or any other person makes, is relying on what we understand the general meaning of AI or Artificial Intelligence to be today.

However, the generational differences between the types and specific functions of AI do not matter.

Without any further thinking, have accepted that the ascent and take-over of AI in these ‘new’ but already ‘established’ forms has already taken place, and that even the dangers that the true pioneers of this software development are warning us of are already inevitable – because that’s the way that it goes.

‘It’s just the way that it goes’, can only be assured by our collective acceptance of AI’s use, and with it our unwillingness to reject or object to its further use and takeover of so many parts of life. Not because the use of any form of AI is necessary or beneficial in some way to mankind. But because somebody somewhere will benefit massively if we unwittingly help them to make sure that it does.

The Reality of AI | Pt.15 | AI can only be reliable when it is used ethically as a support tool and not as a go-to for everything.

The most disconcerting thing about AI – as is the case with all forms of technology today, is that used and driven by the right purposes and agendas, AI and Artificial Intelligence have the potential to be ridiculously beneficial to the whole of mankind.

However, the key to uncovering the genuine benefits of AI and all tech, is the realisation, acceptance and ethical governance that will ensure that tech and every form of AI that comes is only used as a tool that supports human life. Not as a replacement for it.

Replacing the ‘use’ of human life, under the direction of very selfish interests, is the pathway that all of humanity is on right now.

AI MUST only be the means. AI MUST NEVER be allowed to become the end.

Nobody who has responsibility for the governance and use of AI today should be allowed to have any influence under any rules, laws and regulations that will be created to govern its use at any level for the future.

If the intention and understanding of what those behind AI are and have been doing already was genuinely with the best interests of all in mind, those already involved would have ensured that we had effective and appropriate governance in place already.

For humanity to survive, with everyone at every level having the freedom of choice – even if only in the form that we have experienced or that we already have now, we MUST create a system of governance that ensures that no form of tech – and that only includes AI – can be used to replace the role of any human being and that it will only be able to support their role or make it safer for them to complete.

The only reason for doing otherwise is for the purpose of control or so that a profit can be made.

The value of human life must be prioritised above all.

The Reality of AI | Pt.16 | AI will only keep advancing for as long as we don’t resist it.

The reason that AI is taking over as quickly as it appears to be, is that nobody with influence, or not enough people who will attain that level of influence by acting together – have, through their actions, said NO to what is being placed in front of us, whilst also being loaded onto the equipment and machines that we already possess.

In the absence of Politicians, Government and an Establishment that genuinely represents the best interests of the People – as they always should, the only real power that we, the masses, actually have, is to vote YES or N for the new world of AI – with our feet.

The Reality of AI | Pt.17 | The future role of AI is our decision to make. Our future should not be in the hands of anyone driven by what they can gain.

We CAN stop the march of AI.

Despite what all the messaging and the clever narratives will keep telling us, there is nothing beneficial for all of us collectively, and certainly not for the majority of us as individuals, for the way that we live and the way that life works to be pushed in this very troubling direction.

Making the conscious decision to acknowledge and respect the role that AI already plays, and to then purposefully step beyond it and take back our own decision making and the power of choice – instead of doing what’s easy and what’s basically being lazy, being used to talk us into so many choices that are simply bad for us – is an active and ongoing choice. It is a way of living that we all have the power to adopt right now.

Be the conscientious rejector when it comes to AI. Recognise the real war against freedom and against humanity that is already underway. Act by refusing to take part.

If you fail to recognise how your freedom of choice and freedom to think for yourself today really operates today, the sad reality is that with the speed that change is happening, it will almost certainly be too late to act, once you realise that your freedom has already gone.

The Reality of AI | Pt.18 | This is a war we can only win by taking action. We lose by taking part or standing still.

We cannot change the past by thinking about it. We cannot change or dictate the future by waiting until we are there before we act.

Our point of power is in the present and the way that we influence everything that comes next – whether it is just a minute or a decade away – will be based on the decision and therefore the actions that we take immediately next.

There is a lot of talk of ‘timelines’ these days. In no small part due to the very clever and deeply considered writing that has created the ‘Marvel Universe’. An entire genre of cinema films that parents, children and many up to and around middle age will know well.

Timelines are a concept based on the suggestion that it is possible to look at a point in time in the future, based on what it looks like or resembles when looking at it from the point in time that we stand in right now.

We don’t need to believe that anyone has the ability to see the future to be able to accept that if you knew right at this moment in time, where you would be and what you would be doing in exactly 5 years’ time, that the outcome you have just been made aware of will be subject to change, potentially millions of times over, depending quite literally upon choices you make such as which bus you catch to work, or which side of the street you decide to take. That’s how multiple timelines work.

By taking the other side of the street – just because something deep inside you suggested you should, you might avoid a car that went out of control and would have hit you on the other side of the road, in a way that on that timeline changed everything about your life.

When you left your house, you had the power of choice to decide which side of the street you walked on. But once the car had hit you, everything that happened afterwards was no longer within your power to decide, because the decision that led to that event had already been made.

It sounds like an extreme example. The point is that even the smallest decisions can have the most unimaginable consequences.

Now that you know AI is here and what it has the potential to do, you have the choice of doing what YOU can now and every time you have the opportunity to open the door of your life to more of it or to reject it. Or you can do nothing, each and every time, potentially losing what might be the last opportunity that YOU have to change things for the better – as it simply passes you by.
