News Headlines these days regarding AI are sounding scary:
“Robots may soon give birth to human babies.”
"AI won't need to take orders from humans soon: Ex-Google boss Eric Schmidt"
“Google issues red alert as AI-powered cyberattacks target Gmail users.”
"Scary AI incident: Agent deletes data, tries to hide the truth, and lies"
These aren’t movie trailers or sci-fi book plots. This is the world we are walking into.
When we watched Robot some 15 years ago, it felt like pure fiction. Who would have thought we’d see shades of it becoming reality so soon? Remember that last scene, where the robot dismantles itself piece by piece, saying something like:
"I am not your enemy. I am only your reflection. If I destroy, it is because that destruction already lived in you."
And it made me wonder...
They say every yug brings with it a different kind of battle.
In the beginning, In Satyug it was said to be Devlok vs Rakshas Lok; gods and demons locked in combat across the heavens in the cosmic world.
Then came Treta Yug. The war descended to earth, human against human. Rama against Ravana. Dharma against Adharma, fought on the battlefield of kings and kingdoms.
By Dwapar Yug, the fight had drawn even closer, not distant nations or strangers, but one’s own blood. Pandavas and Kauravas. Cousins divided by greed, pride, and the lust for power.
And then Kali Yug. Here, the battleground shrank even further — not out there, but within ourselves. A daily tug-of-war between the good me and the bad me. The voice of conscience whispering one way, while desire pulls another.
But perhaps, as we stand today, we are witnessing the dawn of something beyond Kali Yug.
A new chapter. An AI Yug.
Here, the conflict is stranger than ever before — not between gods and demons, not even between families or within our minds. It is between us and what we ourselves have created.
A mirror of our intelligence, our ambition, our restlessness. Machines that think, that learn, that sometimes even surprise their makers.
And so, the question returns to us in a different form:
Will this creation serve us, or will we end up serving it?
Will it bring light, or will it magnify our shadows?
Every yug, after all, was never really about the enemy “out there.”
It was always about what we chose to nurture — the divine or the destructive.
The battlefield may change… but the choice remains the same.
Times are changing faster th human mind can adapt and this is the biggest challenge.
ReplyDeleteOut limbic brain still lives in hunter gatherer times.
As we start to learn to grapple with new things and become comfortable with them, something new comes on the horizon and disrupts all the structures we made around it.
Fear is no longer an animal hiding in the bushes anymore. It is the uncertainty of current times.
But it has always been like this ever. Earlier, if you can't make tools and learn to use them, you'll die
Because only the person who knows how to make a nd use tools gets all the hunt
So is with ai these days. We can make all excuses and worry that this is not happening right. But it doesn't matter. It will happen anyway.
It's all about who can adapt to the situation and improvise.
Survival is again about adapting to the environment.
