Algorithms and Humans

 

Technology can help you a lot but if technology gain too much power over your life, you might become a hostage to its agenda. technology is not bad if you know what you want in life it will be all too easy for technology to shape your aims for you and take control of your life especially as technology gets better at understanding humans you might increasingly find yourself serving it, instead of it serving you.

Do you think you control the technology or does the technology control you?

As biotechnical and machine learning improve, it will become easier to manipulate people’s deepest emotions and it will be become more dangerous than ever to just follow your heart.

The government are all racing to hack you. Not your smartphone not your laptop or computer and not your bank account – they are in a race to hack you and your organic operating system. You might have heard that we are living in the era of hacking computer by that’s hardly half the truth in fact we are living in the era of hacking humans.

The algorithm is watching you right now they are watching where you go what you buy a who you meet soon, they will monitor all your steps all your breaths all your heartbeats they are relying on big data and machine learning to get to know you better than you know yourself, they could control and manipulates you, and you won’t be able to do much about it you will live in the matrix.

If the algorithms indeed understand what’s happening within you better than you understand it authority will shift to them.

Of course, you might be perfect happy ceding all authority to the algorithm and trusting them to decide things for you and for the rest of the world, if so just relax and enjoy the ride, you don’t need to do anything about it if however, you want to retain some control of your personal existence and of the future of life, you have to run faster than algorithm and get to know before they do.
