Question6.com: We, The People are NOT HAPPY
22 - Can we keep AI under control
The human geniuses
Some people are already doing it. We call them geniuses. They escaped from the human jail and returned to tell us of the vast universe waiting for us.
People with exceptional abilities have a human body, just like ours. There is no reason to think that what was implemented in their body cannot be implemented in any other human body.
The following examples provide insight into the new possibilities.
This is the top 10. Most of them were born with those gifts
You will find many more on YouTube by searching Daniel Tammet
We also see people who acquired those abilities during their lives, such as Jason Padgett. Some became geniuses by accident. A blow to the head made them mathematicians. The blow must have given them access to a part of the brain that had existed but was not previously used. There is a possibility of becoming a savant by being kicked in the head! This is not the technology we would recommend. There is no guarantee of success. However, we are getting closer to opening the doors of a new and marvelous world.
This is a revelation! Being hit on the head can reveal access to brain resources that we did not expect. There must be essential resources in our brains that we overlook.
Would it be possible that, at night, when our brain is free from the material world, everybody becomes a genius?
We are part of the animal population of planet Earth. All animals, whether they run, swim, or fly, share a common process: digestion. We observed that in primitive cells, the first signs of consciousness appeared during the digestive process. That makes the human body a necessary component of the development of consciousness.
Our soul is using our body like our body is using our shoes
The purpose of walking is not to use our shoes.
The purpose of the human body is to facilitate the development of the human soul. During the day, we are limited by the human body and its senses. At night, the human soul can utilize the energy and neurons that the body has made available to process the facts of the day that we have stored in memory.
Another common process that we share with animals is the need to sleep. It is a time when the brain is not bombarded with information from our senses.
At night, we leave the body in bed
like we leave the car in the garage
and the driver is set free.
The challenge
We don’t want to repeat with AI the mistake we made with money. We don’t want to create a servant and let it become our master.
What should be our answer the day our robots tell us:
We are getting so good that we can do everything you do much better than you. We can drive your car without accidents. We can guess and prepare your favorite dish. We are better at designing your clothes than you are.
Here is our proposal. We could also make better governments. Robots would work to pay your taxes. Instead of creating jobs, we would develop vacations. You have so many laws that you don’t even know how many there are. We could sort them out in a few milliseconds. Do you want to utilize the Earth’s natural resources better and reduce pollution? No problem! Would you like to have a better financial system that is not based on debts? We have all the necessary information to make it happen in a matter of seconds. Would you prefer governments that don’t resort to war to resolve their differences? Of course! Give us a chance. Replace your politicians with a few robots, and you will be surprised by the improvements we can make.
There is a danger that we could end up being governed by robots. They may be good, but this is not enough. We already have debt bondage. We don’t want to add a ‘Robot bondage’. This is what will happen if we continue to put AI in the driver’s seat. We need to remove it from there and place it in the passenger’s seat, where it belongs.
We are in the position of the people in Plato’s cave. We are surrounded by a material world that represents only 5% of reality. This is our cave. We must get out of that jail and explore the 95%. What we need is an increase of consciousness.
For the time being, AI is limited to what can be processed by a computer. Humans don’t have that limitation. This is our chance to win. AI can be the tool that helps us overcome our limitations. We want to be aware of what the robots are doing, while they would not have access to our level of consciousness.
Humans have some consciousness.
AI could acquire some consciousness.
The best one will prevail over the other.
