We are living in a time of unprecedented knowledge, as foretold by Daniel when he spoke of knowledge increasing at the end of time. This era, often termed the information age, raises questions about how much further knowledge can expand. The concept of artificial intelligence, or AI, emerges as a significant part of this knowledge explosion, with research dating back to the early 1950s driven by military interests and lofty goals that remain unfulfilled, such as creating computers capable of matching human work. Critics and philosophers have long questioned AI's capabilities and implications. Some argue that computers cannot truly understand or replicate human reasoning and common sense, lacking the ability to think beyond programmed responses. There is a concern that the misuse of AI could devalue human life, potentially serving as a tool to distort truth and create deception. A futuristic scenario suggests AI could fracture reality itself, generating parallel realities where events cannot be verified, and no authoritative source can confirm what is real. This could lead to a collapse of shared reality, with ultra-realistic deep fakes and fabricated narratives flooding the information sphere, causing public mistrust in reality itself. Such chaos could erode civic responsibility, fragment truth, and allow authoritarian actors and tech platforms to become the new arbiters of truth. AI's potential to alter or create situations that appear real, when they are merely facades or lies, poses a grave risk. People may struggle to discern what is real or whom to believe, leading to widespread confusion and lawlessness. The term "artificial intelligence" itself seems contradictory, questioning whether true intelligence can be artificial or if it is merely a fabricated imitation.
