Never like these days, we’re experiencing a fast-paced global transition at the hands of Artificial Intelligence.
No one and nothing will help us , used to sing the late visionary artist David Bowie in the 70s… how proving him wrong? No business is exempt.
AI is showing to overtake “HI”, Human Intelligence.
However, the controversy is that Humans created AI, hence I d use the ‘Artificial’ pseudonym with a large grain of salt.
Scientists learned how to make algorithms interact independently, although they create algorithms. The interaction of algorithms produces Intelligence, in other words, it enhances the human mind.
For this reason, I envision a potential future in Mental Health.
Just before the advent of AI, Genetics were the last frontier in Medicine.
Almost mental disorders were attributed to inherited genes.
Nowadays, the approach is switching more toward Development.
Imagine what a microchip inserted in the brain can do…
‘Bonding’ is an old established term in parenting which is having a revival in AI.
Lack of Bonding translates to Parental Neglect. It is gaining momentum as a Developmental Disorder, Autism and ADHD not exempt.
Lack of Bonding has a number of implications, mainly on empathy.
A chain-reaction, lack of Empathy leads to malignant Narcissism, NPD medical.
NPD annihilates Emotions. Lack of emotions affects Memory storage. Impaired Memory is responsible for Learning Disabilities.
The debate over Autism and ADHD as in learning disabilities or neurodiversity seems to never reach a general consensus either medically or socially.
‘Acceptance’ would be the most advocated approach.
The reality is that we’re headed toward extreme Globalization at the very hands of few World s tycoons the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk… ironically on the Autistic Spectrum themselves.
Shall we assume that Neurodiversity is the norm?
The Neurotypical would qualify as the Outcast.
Hopefully, AI will give us clearer answers.
