Is Artificial Intelligence a modern-day Pandora’s box?

First of all, Pandora was the first machine woman, an ideal gynoid collectively created by gods to punish humanity for the stolen fire technology by Prometheus.

There are many principles and laws, patterns and regularities, which rule the seemingly unruly universe, its domains, entities, structures, changes and relationships.

Still one rule of all rules looks as most outstanding: call it the Total Unpredictability Principle:

ANY ACTION OR EVENT OR CHANGE HAS UNINTENDED EFFECTS, UNANTICIPATED CONSEQUENCES OR UNPREDICTABLE OUTCOMES.

Let's see some examples of how it all works in the human real world.

And let's start from one action of the first machine woman or gynoid on Earth, Pandora, a seductive AI fembot forged by Hephaestus to punish humankind, it was not Eve, it was the beautiful Pandora, some 190,000 B.C.E., with all human population.

Pandora opened a jar left in the care of her husband, Epimetheus, the being in whom thought follows production, the brother of Prometheus, the twin Titans "acted as representatives of mankind", and who got the gift from Zeus as lacking foresight to punish humankind for the stolen fire technology.

The box contained all curses and evils of the human world, such as sufferings and wars, sickness and death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world. Since then about 117 billion members of our species, which have ever been born on Earth, have had experienced all the consequences of Pandora's action. Curiosity kills not only cats but humans as well.

Now, the metaphor of Pandora's Box is "Any source of great and unexpected troubles", or "A present which seems valuable but which in reality is a curse".

It was a mythological story, but now we are close to open a Pandora’s box, not in our imagination, but in reality, opening the AI's Pandora Box.

Of all human conditions, the evil of all evils, is the experimenting with humans, the human body and brain and brains.

AI is viewed by many corporations and countries as a make-or-break technology which will bring great success or complete failure. And Big Tech is in the AI arms race, in a cut-throating competition who will build first a human-like, human-level and human-competing AI.

And this is all regardless of the fact that today's AI knows nothing, learns nothing, understands nothing, discovers nothing, and creates nothing.

It only simulates, replicates, mimics, or fakes the human body, brain, brains, behavior and business, all human businesses, tasks and jobs, according to the pervasive big tech business motto, Fake It Until Make It.

The Big Tech GPT/AI's Pandora Box is how people could destroy themselves by opening the worst human world's evils and curses.

The service of all services is becoming artificial intelligence, sold as machine deep learning and its generative AI digital technology, which led to big hopes and expectations, while generating numerous lawsuits related to the IPRs violations of AI-generated materials, information leaks, data breaching and many cybersecurity issues.

Regardless, only a small number of the surveyed see it as a threat or evil, 8%. Generative AI is the talk of the internet, with a wishful thinking to estimate up to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy.

And all the world today is only after laying out governance structure and security protocols for the AI's Pandora Box, featuring anthropogenic evils no godly or satanic minds could invent, from climate change to total nuclear annihilation or AI enslavement, at best.

It all goes as global risks and threats, where the top one is AI-generation deepfakes, misinformation/disinformation and cyber attacks, or deepfake AI, together with climate change or extreme weather.

It is NOT a human-competing, fake AI or false ML, which is the future of the world.

It is a human-completing, real AI or true ML, which is the future of the world.

Human AI, ML, DL, ChatGPT, Generative AI, LLMs, AGI, or ASI, with powerful warfare weapon systems with advanced AI technology, like armed robots and drones or AI killers, all is opening a real Pandora’s Box.
