In this age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancement, there's no doubt that AIs are on the brink of mastering practically everything that humans do. We are witnessing how technology can accomplish remarkable feats that were once beyond human comprehension. Our reliance on these technologies, whether for simple or complex tasks, is growing rapidly. AI is evolving into an entity that not only imitates human-like traits but also surpasses us in intelligence and capabilities.
It is no wonder that a time may come when sheer human strength can no longer win wars, when we lose control over things as AIs are far superior to us, and when society no longer requires human intervention to operate the economy as AIs could handle those complex tasks far better than humans. Instead of seeing exhausted bodies and worn eyes everywhere, we'll witness robots working non-stop, yet maintaining their energy and productivity—they will become the new standards of efficiency.
What makes a human in the age of AI, then? After a short vacation, I rushed to check on my dog and noticed her enthusiastic reaction upon my return. It made me wonder about her feelings of loneliness and longing, and then it struck me—humans possess an innate capacity for empathy, something that AI cannot authentically imitate.
While intelligence and power may lose their relevance for humans in the future, our true distinction lies in our ability to genuinely express empathy.
With the rise of intelligent entities, may we be reminded that it's empathy—expressed through love and kindness—not our intelligence and power—that truly makes us humans in this age of AI.
