MY THOUGHTS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY___#93 ED1

I remember when I was small, my father told me that one day machines will take over the world...I laughed and said it's film. But today, I am seeing it with my own eyes.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer story. It's real. You open TikTok, AI chooses what you see. You want to write something, AI corrects you. You want to know something, you ask AI. It is fast.

Sometimes I think, this is good. Because in future, AI can help us solve big problems. In Nigeria here, we don't have enough doctors. Imagine if AI can help in hospitals to tell people their sickness early, many lives will be saved. In schools, children that don't have teacher can learn from AI. Even market women can use AI to know price of goods.

So AI can really push humanity forward. It can make us better.

But the other side of my heart is worried.

What if we allow AI to become more intelligent than humans? What if it starts to understand emotions, to love, to get angry, to create its own ideas, and even challenge the people who made it?

If that happens, will I trust AI to make decisions for humanity? To be sincere, I will be scared.

Because the people who created AI are human beings like us. If AI becomes smarter than them, it means it can also lie, it can also be selfish, it can also make mistake, but we will not be able to correct it.

Human future is not just about calculation. Future is about mercy, about forgiveness, about love. AI does not know these things. It only knows what you program inside it.

So in my own opinion, AI should not be allowed to become master over us. Let it remain as helper. Let human beings still be the ones to decide what happens to human beings. We can use AI to make our life easy, but we should not give it the key to our future...❌

If we do that, we may regret!!!!
