Discussing behavioral manipulation and ideological engineering, Dr. Svoboda outlines our human vulnerability to the real dangers of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).

This time on Living with Reality, Dr. Svoboda offers a critical talk on:

• How A.I. is one large echo chamber, reflecting humanity back at itself
• Keeping Kali Yuga in mind as we navigate A.I.
• Maintaining awareness of all the layers of reality
• Asking ChatGPT what serious dangers exist in the context of A.I.
• Destabilization of institutions and automated cyberattacks
• Economic destruction and inequality from uneven wealth distribution
• The loss of human agency and behavioral manipulation
• How human vulnerability and mental illness make A.I. even more concerning
• Coercion and ideological engineering from the government/billionaires
• Using A.I. as a friend, emotional support, or even a romantic partner
• Losing the ability to create actual human relationships

“A.I. is an externalization of the human thought process, an externalization of how humans perceive and project awareness onto the external world. It is returning our collective intentions, fears, biases, etc. back to us in intensified form. It is an echo chamber...we have two mirrors pointed at one another generating images that recede into infinity.” –Dr. Svoboda
