AI
AI is dangerous because It subtly contributes to depersonalisation. Our infatuation with technology has the consequence of depriving ourselves of relationality. AI is being weaponised into drone (robotics etc as well) warfare. There is less conscience and consciousness of what it means to take another’s life. This depersonalisation is evident in the rise of violence among the young (particularly among youth tribes in Victoria) whose only relational dependence is on the militant gang mentality of their fellow “gamers.” The Archbishop of Sydney wrote an amazingly insightful article at Christmas: God didn’t send a philosophy or a religion, or a ritual, He sent His own Son to be received and known by each individual personally. We humans need relationships. We are in danger of losing our humanity by our dependence on technology. We ought to consciously decide to improve our relationships rather than isolate ourselves by our technologies.
