Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Read full article here

 

Extract from the Article:

 

The article highlights the concerns raised by scientists about the potential erosion of human critical thinking skills due to overdependence on AI.

 

They emphasize the need to promote digital literacy and critical thinking to navigate AI-mediated information environments effectively.

 

The emergence of a new form of thinking called System 0 is mentioned, signifying the shift towards a more AI-influenced thinking approach.

 

The call is made to develop strategies that allow individuals to operate in a world where AI plays a significant role in decision-making processes.

 

My Take:

Fast Forward to Future (3F)

 

In my blog from 2017, I touched upon the importance of making robots cooperate with humans.

 

The recent concerns raised by scientists regarding AI's influence on human critical thinking echo the need for harmonious interaction between humans and machines.

 

The research indicating the impact of environments on agents' cooperation resonates with the ongoing dialogue about promoting digital literacy to counterbalance AI overdependence.

 

It's intriguing to see how my insights from years back align with the current discourse on navigating AI-influenced thinking landscapes.

A Journey to Singularity: AI, AGI, UGI

 

The futuristic scenario I envisioned in my blog about AI systems potentially disrupting the economy finds relevance in the current discussions around preventing AI overdependence.

 

The complexities surrounding copyrights and patents for AI systems mentioned in my blog seem to be part of the broader conversation about regulating AI to safeguard critical thinking skills.

 

As we delve deeper into the realm of AI-mediated information environments, the need to predict and mitigate risks, as highlighted in my previous writings, becomes ever more crucial in navigating the evolving landscape of AI integration.

 

Call to Action:

 

To the policymakers and educational institutions mentioned in the article,

 

 

-       I urge a proactive approach towards enhancing digital literacy and critical thinking skills.

-       Invest in programs that equip individuals with the tools to critically analyze information in AI-influenced environments.

-        

-       Let's collaborate to ensure a balanced coexistence with AI, where human intelligence thrives alongside technological advancements.
