The Interplay of AI and Human Morality


 

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the impending arrival of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) compel humanity to reevaluate its moral frameworks and societal structures profoundly. This short video outlines the core themes, challenges, and potential futures arising from AI's integration into our moral lives. AI is not merely a tool but an active agent in reshaping human values, necessitating new ethical paradigms and global collaboration to ensure a future where AI serves human well-being.

Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of Post-National Imperialism: A Sociological Analysis

The world is undergoing profound transformations catalyzed by digital technologies, especially AI. The development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the theoretical possibility of Superintelligence add new dimensions to global power dynamics. These technologies are not emerging in isolation; rather, they are embedded in and co-producing a global system characterized by diminishing nation-state sovereignty, intensifying economic interdependence, and complex transnational governance systems. This lab note argues that AI and its advanced iterations are becoming instrumental in the reconfiguration of global power and the emergence of what may be called post-national imperialism . Theoretical Framework Power is shifting from nation-states to transnational entities, a defining characteristic of globalization. As argued by Saskia Sassen and Manuel Castells, the network society and global city paradigms reveal how capital and influence flow across borders, reshaping the authority ...

Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: A Sociological Perspective

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming nearly every sector, including education. As universities confront the accelerating pace of digital transformation, AI emerges not only as a technological innovation but also as a socio-cultural phenomenon that warrants critical sociological reflection. For a sociologist, AI presents an intersectional inquiry into power, equity, human-machine interaction, epistemology, and institutional transformation. This lab note offers an in-depth examination of AI in the context of higher education, exploring its practical applications, ethical implications, and sociological consequences. U nderstanding Artificial Intelligence AI can be broadly defined as the ability of machines or software systems to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. These include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. In educational settings, AI reveals itself through adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring system...

California Wildfires: Is this all about climate change?

Image
Golden State Burning The short answer is a big NO! A longer one needs a few more words. There is currently an overall consensus that the electrical lines running above ground are the main culprit of several of the ongoing disastrous wildfires across the Golden State. According to Wikipedia, the state of California has 26,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and 240,000 miles of distribution lines. Distribution lines bring electricity directly to homes: Around 66% of them statewide are above ground. That is a dramatic picture indeed. 66% of California's statewide distribution lines are above ground. For transmission lines, the cost of undergrounding is approximately $80 million per mile, while for distribution lines, the same expense is around $3 million per mile. All that compared to overhead lines at about $800,000 per mile The state's largest utility, PG&E, has 107,000 miles of distribution lines, 81,000 miles of which are overhead. The cost to convert all of PG...
