Technological dependence, especially on artificial intelligence, poses both opportunities and serious ethical dilemmas. The speaker discusses how AI, including language models and automation, profoundly affects various aspects of daily life, including healthcare and personal interactions. Concerns arise around AI's ability to make ethical decisions, especially in life-and-death situations, and its potential for misuse in warfare and surveillance. While AI offers significant benefits, it also risks deepening social biases and reducing critical thinking by creating echo chambers. The call to action emphasizes the need for ethical AI development aligned with Islamic values to ensure technology serves humanity positively.
Introduction of AI as a new, frighteningly dependent technology.
AI’s ability to translate verbal speech into multiple languages is discussed.
Ethical implications of AI in warfare and decision-making processes are reviewed.
Challenges of AI misuse in surveillance and impacts on marginalized communities are highlighted.
The insights brought forward regarding AI's potential to decide on ethical dilemmas underscore an urgent need for frameworks governing AI decision-making.
