Preparing for our AI future - A perspective
I believe AI is going to change the world more than anything in the history of humanity. More than electricity.” - Kai-Fu Lee
AI is an integral part of my life as it is yours. I was just wonder where all does AI influence by life. Here are a few that I could list out from my own experience.
Fortunately, I don’t use a smartwatch while sleeping and therefore an undisturbed 8 hours without AI is for real (only for now). This has potential to change very quickly with the advent of smart mattresses, sleep tracking, noise cancelling devices, air quality monitoring and health monitoring devices in action.
The 'me time' in the toilet may also not be spared. Stool tracking and analysis, symptom logging and pattern recognition with medication reminders and personalized diet recommendations many not be far off to become embraced intruders!
“Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.” - Alan Kay
Let's look at how AI has progressed over the years and where it is leading us to.

It is difficult to decide who is embracing whom – are we embracing AI or AI is embracing us?
“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we'll augment our intelligence.” – Ginni Rometty
In my opinion AI is inevitable. The first thing we need to appreciate is that AI will augment our lives and not replace humans. We should approach AI in the future with a balanced perspective that combines enthusiasm, caution, and ethical considerations.
We should look at active involvement in the following areas:
By adopting this multifaceted approach, we can harness the potential of AI while mitigating risks and ensuring its development serves our best interests.

4moAI may seem pervasive, but it’s worth questioning whether it’s truly enhancing our lives or simply making us more dependent.While voice commands & smart devices offer convenience,they also encourage a hands-off approach to daily tasks,potentially dulling our problem-solving skills.Personalized recommendations in online social media might streamline our choices,but they also create echo chambers,reinforcing our biases and limiting exposure to new ideas or products.The constant presence of AI in emails,text & even navigation can lead to over-reliance,making us less capable of managing without these tools. The concern is not about AI's growing influence but about how it subtly shifts our behaviors and expectations.The idea of “me time” being invaded by AI is already a reality for many, raising questions about privacy and the erosion of personal space. While AI literacy and ethical guidelines are crucial,the rapid pace of AI development often outstrips our ability to keep up with these safeguards,leaving gaps that can be exploited.Instead of viewing AI as an inevitable augmentation of our lives,perhaps we should critically assess where it adds genuine value and where it might be better to maintain human autonomy and decisionmaking.
