Artificial Super-Humans
The devaluation of human life

The imminence that your thoughts and actions may no longer be your own is very close for all of us. The urgency to find ways to protect one's own personality is more necessary than choosing what to have for dinner tonight, which course to study, or which life project to pursue. There is no greater urgency on earth than preparing to protect one's own personality and values.
Waiting for better times is what many people rehearse in their minds. Positive thinking, positivity, mental visualization, studies, and good nutrition are some of the daily practices for most of humanity. On the other hand, there are people who are designing the creation of human thought, studying how to instill a new mentality in people. What seems so difficult to achieve is being developed in an automatic manner—it is literally about projecting how you will think or what you will think and also act upon.
The grandeur of AI and its benefits cannot be compared to the times when societies lived in the past, as today we have constantly developing resources to improve our quality of life, especially through Artificial Intelligence.
On the other hand, the world has thinkers who hope to be heard and given attention for their reflections on the macro observation of what is rapidly advancing.
Thinking and envisioning the future based on current events is the work of futurists who see their thoughts and analyses projected into the future and happening daily in the realm of reality. Some believe that AI will only bring benefits, but there is much to observe, as AI was created for us humans, not the other way around. In some ways, the opposite of the proposed foundational principle is occurring.
This text serves as an introduction to my project, which aims to assign genuine value to human life and emphasize that technologies are created by us, not the other way around. Our goal is to affirm that the true essence and value of human life are fundamental, and that technologies should be seen as tools developed to serve and enhance our existence, not as forces that define our identity.
In relation to humans and AI, part of my vision is to develop, within specific groups in society, the capacity for thinking and sharing their thoughts with everyone, through work and remuneration. This aims to help individuals envision the possibility of becoming better and more capable of performing good deeds around themselves and others. In this context, AI should be our partner in distribution and highlighting our product, nothing more.
Society absorbs what is presented to it, and just as we learn daily about the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there is a constant evolution that we may not always be able to keep up with. Even with current access to information, there is still a vast field to explore to fully understand AI development. However, it is likely that, in the near future, it will become impossible for humans to keep up with the speed and complexity of this advancement.
We are creating artificial super-humans, which may pose significant risks to humanity. The most appropriate expression to describe the current situation is "risk to humanity." Although AI brings great benefits, it also presents serious dangers, especially when we consider the current alert stage: the devaluation of human life.
Excitement about technological advancements will give way to frustration and demotivation, reflecting the feelings of many people. As Artificial Intelligence replaces a wide range of paid activities, thinkers, artists, and even aspects of legislation, these roles will be taken over by AI.
We are faced with the urgent need to develop strategies that promote the valuation of human life simply for its own existence. Humanity is increasingly focused on the exaltation of artificial beings, not just humans, but brilliant super-minds capable of answering any question in seconds. Given this reality, it is crucial that we take steps to value and uplift real human beings, preserving their values and potential.
