The world spins on its axis and makes its silent journey towards the celestial infinity. Historical events along with it too.
From the period of the formation of the first man to the present era, the culminations of which constitute the stages of its completion. Each with the Man-model.
Each time, with its New Man, with the archetype that would not only struggle to adapt to each new collision, but would even succeed in being the true model in the new social, cultural and political circumstances that time would bring.
One human, in its beginnings closely connected with nature, the second later connected with the supreme leader and today connected with technology.
In all three the essence remains the same; it stands around the border of life and is mostly not forward-looking, where the fear of the new always leads to chaos and anarchy.
If nature and the leader are easily accepted by the human mind as two sure components in which man at all times believes, including the cult of the Gods, technology is what is expected to go beyond predictions.
Its development in giant steps in the century. 21st, as one of its applications is coming, Artificial Intelligence seems to be approaching the beginning of a new revolution, which is expected to produce the Other, the new model.
Although evolution is physical, this time it is taking on dimensions of another dimension, incomprehensible and completely unknown.
This is described by the well-known researcher Yuval Harari in his latest book. According to him, very little time separates us until man turns into a mechanical being, a robot.
And starting from this, taken 'hostage' by technology, humanity, freedom and faith have faded significantly in our daily life.
Therefore, if it moves at these rates, some questions are forwarded to the public debate:
How will humans be able to cooperate with AI?
Is the influence of so much advanced technology in our lives frightening?
Perhaps such persecution is expected to cause a permanent addiction?
Do we risk our existence in the distant future?
Of course, technology is a great help for us, making our lives significantly easier and informing us about every detail that happens in real time.
Sometimes opening our eyes and sometimes manipulating us. Therefore, its use depends on us, whether it is positive or negative.
Simultaneously with the development of technology, man is being challenged every day more and more to make the great leap in skill and image.
Just as time moves forward, it is equally imperative for man to advance.
If decades ago it was enough to develop a single skill in a certain field, now this is not enough because it is precisely technology - specifically AI, which is there in constant effort to scare us with our replacement.
This is why the race is no longer between us but goes to another level of technological evolution.
A race that the human mind can no longer control, but the development of the era that was hard to think of in the last century.
Since humans are greedy beings, the pursuit of perfection, beauty and victory remains their primary goal.
But at what cost can it come?
At another time and in the wrong hands, technology can take over our lives, our thinking power, our freedom as well as our creative abilities. Just like everything has a cycle, maybe ours is coming to an end.
And if it doesn't come from natural causes, it seems that it will come from us. The only remaining weapon, which has always been used by man in critical situations, is consciousness and the totality of his feelings - the forces that have come to our aid to face the challenges of our existence.
The future is expected to hold science fiction scenarios, until then the journey to find ourselves will continue, not to let the creature defeat the creator.
