The extensive discussions about artificial intelligence and its applications across various aspects of human life over the past two years have raised skepticism among many researchers and even ordinary individuals. After more than 60 years since the inception of the term (at the Dartmouth Workshop in 1956) and the subsequent efforts to turn it into practical reality, machines have managed to simulate aspects of human intelligence, and have even surpassed it in terms of speed in reaching predictions, recommendations, and decisions that impact both virtual and real environments!?
As for the skeptics, they wonder about the motives behind this, linking it to the loud debate that arose during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, that there is a cosmic conspiracy to reduce the world’s population to (500) million people. The controversy escalated around the laws that some Western countries started passing and implementing regarding children’s rights to choose their gender in the early years of their lives, coupled with unprecedented bias and support for LGBTQ+ movements worldwide. This constitutes a serious threat to the nature and authenticity of human life. This is what they termed “the trilogy of death” through which “some” seek to diminish the human population, “because the world’s population is increasing geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16), while the world’s resources are increasing numerically (2, 4, 6, 8), and therefore the planet’s resources will not be sufficient for everyone, and in order for the rich to maintain their lives and resources in the same pattern and rate of abundance and wealth, the global population must be controlled.”
Similarly, skeptics have raised narrative concerns about the roles of artificial intelligence in today’s world, referring to the enigmatic Georgia Guidestones and the provocative content of the Lugano Report over the past two decades. This report contains Malthusian perspectives that link the world’s future to the global population count. Everyone has become caught in a state of ongoing questioning: Is COVID-19, artificial intelligence, and gender selection laws the complementary and supplementary components of a cosmic conspiracy? Or are they strategies of the major international power centers, those diligently working to preserve their historical achievements through a liberal imperialistic supremacy, as labeled by a contemporary historian?!
Regardless of the answer, adopting this cosmic conspiracy theory lacks scientific grounding or a search for how the coronavirus is the beginning of a global economic collapse, leading to the emergence of a unified global government that reshapes the world according to its interests. This theory leaves room for doubt and allows for discussion of all possibilities, no matter how weak or fragile they may appear, and even if they evoke sympathy. Not everything on the surface is the complete truth, and behind what is apparent, there are always hidden elements – potentially more alarming and perilous – perhaps even the core of the narrative itself?
