The Battle Between AI Technological Singularity and Conscious Living
The battle now is decisively waged between AI technological singularity, machine learning, and deliberate progression towards a more consciousness-centered life. Surprisingly, the end goals of both these cultures appear as if two curves are converging towards each other. The technology culture is rapidly progressing towards its goal. The use of AI technology is not merely sold to us; we have been convinced that it is beneficial for us. It is working towards the longevity of human life, enhancing and augmenting cognitive functions, and serving various medical purposes.
AI Technological Singularity: A Rapid Progression
If you look at the consciousness aspect of life, living more consciously is also working towards longevity and a healthier life. However, there are stark differences between the two, and one needs to become slightly conscious.
If you have a transhumanistic culture, you would be more informed and smart, akin to machines today. However, you would also constantly live in a distracted sense. On the contrary, becoming conscious leads to greater focus and concentration. It is more driven by consciousness rather than machinery.
While having more information may make you smart in a transhumanistic culture, it doesn’t necessarily make you wise. The ability to process information is taken over by algorithms, and you end up less wise. In contrast, learning to process life and becoming more conscious results in increased wisdom.
Now, its a matter of choice. We must decide which way to go and what kind of future to carve for ourselves.
