Why artificial intelligence and technological growth makes human life difficult rather than easy? In which ways do AI adversely affect the human population? Who will get benefitted by the AI push? If there are downside to AI then why so many people are pushing for AI?
A. Fundamentals of Human Life and Survival
Every biological beings have the primary requirements of Survival, Thriving, and Reproduction. Survival is all about having the basic necessities of life, security, and safety, and on the other hand, thriving is all about growing in life which means improvement in health, mental health, knowledge, skills, social connections, relationships, wealth, understanding of the world, creativity, and so on.
Interestingly enough, survival and thriving are kind of contradictory, in the sense that we often learn more when life throws challenges, and because learning is thriving, without serious challenges in life, we stop thriving. Therefore life is a battle between survival and threat to survival.
