AI Garage: How can AI add value within human values?

But is real still distinguishable from fake? No. Something can be man-made, or AI-made, or a combination of, either man-made or AI-driven. The question, then, is what is its value, to ourselves? I usually scroll past the bits I know are AI-made'; Erdinç Saçan is an AI expert but doesn't find those bits particularly interesting. Rather what humans do with them.

As you saw with social media and the internet, AI can be very addictive. You can see this in so-called 'compagnion bots'. These are allocated for psychological help or social contact, for example. Thijs Pepping, technophilosopher and trend analyst, also sees risks in this. 'You could fall in love with the chatbot, or completely isolate yourself socially because of the contact. But it is actually very valuable if an AI tool can contribute to real contact. For example, by bringing two lonely seniors together.'

'We need to reinvent ourselves,' Pepping explains. 'The AI tool is not the solution, but a means to a real solution.' Above all, that requires awareness about developments and the application AI. Knowing that AI can be allocated for both good and bad purposes requires us to take a new look at the world and the role AI has in it. For example, in education or raising children. Banning is impossible and holds back personal development, but it is instead about making sure they have the right basic values. That children learn to calculate, write, get along with each other, so that they can later use AI meaningfully.
