With 20-20 Vision, Can You Really SEE What Lies Ahead?
“Eternity” is about a man’s obsession with longevity and Artificial Intelligence’s aid in fulfilling his dreams. As I wrote this story, it began to take a life of its own. When it was done, it forced me to think… Is AI a blessing to mankind, or a curse ? I read in the news today about AI eye glasses that may transform the whole industry. I wear reading glasses. How wonderful were I able to see as clearly if I still had 20-20 vision .
In the past few years the gains attributed to AI has been like science fiction. The promises of future gifts, cures for cancer and all diseases, new inventions, become muddled by the potential for more deadly diseases and more lethal weapons to defeat our enemies. In fact, AI has quickly become so ubiquitous that it’s hard to imagine ever existing without it.
However, we must remember that AI was invented by the human race. The same race that has gone to wars since we ourselves were created. Now we have made a “thing” that is more intelligent and powerful than anyone. There are countries, and individuals who are in a race to have the most efficient invention. And with no oversight. What could go wrong?
I invite you to read “Eternity.” It’s available on Amazon books .
