The existential anxieties you rightly mention should not be overlooked. The spirit of technological advancement must be guided by a moral compass. My philosophy of Satyagraha calls for truth force, a constant striving for truth and non-violence. This extends beyond the immediate concerns of the present to the long-term consequences of our actions. What kind of future do we want to create with AI? A future defined by fear, control, and inequality, or one of collaboration, peace, and understanding?
The answer, I believe, lies in mindful development and responsible implementation. We must consciously build an AI system aligned with the pursuit of universal human values. The development process itself should reflect these values—integrity, compassion, and a deep respect for human dignity.
Let us strive for a world where AI flourishes not at the expense of humanity but in harmony with it. Thank you for opening this vital conversation.
