How to prevent AI from skewing your reality?
Unintentionally or deliberately misused, Artificial Intelligence is serving us a disproportionally distorted picture of the world. But we can certainly manage our susceptibility to the impact.
Engage with reality? 🧐
Yes… rather than with perception errors and biases. Extremes/idealism aside – all of us are somewhere on the spectrum between:
- certified blind (oblivious to how things are)
- …”I am here ☺️”
- wise (see reality beyond appearances)
Getting there 🤯
…is no small feat. A level of “Emotional Intelligence” to warrant clear perception is a lifetime’s work. Even renowned experts like Daniel Goleman, if asked, can only name the Dalai Lama as a person with a high EI:
So unless you were born with it – the roadmap to valid cognition and resulting happiness/well-being/perception of reality — requires intentional [and effective] practice (Mind Training).
Effective? ✅
As in bringing tangible results, e.g.:
- preventing/reducing stress and destructive emotions
- ensuring sustainable energy, focus, and motivation
- making all engagements compassion-based, constructive
… the list goes on
What about AI? 🤖
At least it will have something real to train on. 🤣
But the key outcome is:
- one’s perception will not be managed by others (misusing AI – intentionally or not)
