Artificial intelligence is neither artificial nor intelligent (Crawford, 2021). Moreover, AI uses a tremendous amount of storage, which produces heat and emits other gases. On the other hand, batteries for powering these machines are made of (mostly) lithium. The extraction of lithium is degrading the environment; thousands of pieces of evidence are out there.
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our lives brings both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Ethical concerns, including privacy, bias, and accountability, must be carefully addressed to prevent unintended consequences. Job displacement is a valid worry, but AI also holds the potential to create new industries and employment opportunities. Striking a balance between technological innovation and social impact is crucial. Transparency and fairness in AI algorithms, along with robust security measures, are imperative for building trust. Recognizing and mitigating biases in AI systems is essential to avoid reinforcing societal inequalities. The long-term societal impact, including changes in human relationships and creativity, warrants careful consideration. Additionally, international collaboration is vital to address geopolitical implications and foster responsible AI development. While there are historical lessons to heed, the key lies in embracing AI's potential responsibly, ensuring ethical practices, and fostering a collaborative global approach to navigate and shape a positive future.
