There’s a lot of misinformation out there. The media and news love to sensationalize topics because it increases their ratings. Not that there’s nothing to worry about. If someone younger, smarter, who doesn’t care how many extra hours they work, and can do your job for less money and better than you… would you be worried?
The thing is, AI is here to stay, and yes, it’s going to break in like an ‘elephant in a china shop’. We need to know who this character is, how it works, how we can use it, and YES, it can help us develop skills and improve our opportunities for a better life.
These articles will let you find out about what AI truly is; if you think it’s a friend, with this series of articles we’ll help you get to know it better and make the most of its abilities; if you think it’s an enemy… I’ll tell you straight: it’s better to know it and understand what it’s capable of. As they say: Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer... because,
"Men are so simple and so easily driven by immediate desires that anyone who deceives will always find someone willing to be deceived."
– Niccolò Machiavelli – The Prince (1532)
We’d better develop our character and grow personally to face this Formidable Challenge!
