The benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. The fight right now is who will control it and how.

In today's digital era, there's a significant buzz around Artificial Intelligence. From smartphones to smart cars, AI is everywhere, revolutionizing industries, enhancing functionality, and making life simpler. However, despite its advantages, AI has a less-spoken darker side that raises eyebrows and is often the subject of concern. The advantages of AI are undeniable. It's optimized various sectors by increasing efficiency, reducing error, and facilitating innovation. In healthcare, AI performs precise diagnoses while preventing human error. In customer service, AI chatbots provide immediate responses, enhancing customer experiences. It even permeates everyday life, with AI-driven applications like Siri and Alexa making it easier to organize our lives. These beneficial influences are difficult to disregard, making AI a prominent facilitator of the modern world. Balancing these benefits has several significant disadvantages that can cause unease. The primary concern is job losses, with AI potentially replacing human roles in various industries. There's also an ethical dilemma surrounding AI, with issues like privacy invasion and data misuse, thanks to highly strategic, AI-driven targeted marketing strategies. These challenges blur the line between utility and exploitation. Perhaps the most concerning downside is the potential for sophisticated AI to surpass human intelligence, posing an unprecedented threat. Understanding the dual nature of AI, both its benefits and its threats, is critical. This knowledge allows us to navigate AI's pathway responsibly and advantageously. Businesses, governments, and individuals need to consciously engage with AI, leveraging its advantages while being proactive about managing its disadvantages. Large corporations should develop AI technology with an ethical framework to minimize risks. Governments should implement stringent regulations to ensure that AI is used for collective advancement rather than unfair exploitation. With these solutions in mind, we can ensure that AI is not just a progressive technology, but also a humane one. In general, this is the general opinion of most people. My personal concern is that now only chatbots are in reply format. But in time, I'm sure a lot of software companies will be a thing of the past. That is why the big ones in this business strive to control artificial intelligence.

A dream house - my opinoin

What is the ideal house for me? First the placement. If possible, it should be on the border with a forest and a river. The sun must shine on it most of the time. It should be made of wood and have very large windows. Of course, there should be external and internal blinds. To become a completely passive house, there must be a minimum 15-kilowatt solar system on the roof or in the yard plus a battery for energy storage. This energy should independently supply all electrical consumers in the house. The house should have a heating and cooling system, using a heat pump. The water for the house should be from a well. Connected to the home system. At least 2000 square meters of land to the house. In 1,000 square meters, if possible, sow all kinds of fruit-bearing trees. Five hundred square meters is enough for vegetables and a small greenhouse. One hundred square meters for a small home fish pond. At the orchards, you can release two sheep to graze and at the same time, you can use their milk. Several hives with honey bees. A few hens to get eggs. A few logs can be injected with mushroom mycelium to produce additional food. In the vegetable garden, it should be distributed in such a way that there is also the possibility of harvesting herbs and spices. After preparing the winter food from most of the harvest of fruits or vegetables, you can sell and cover your costs for additional needs. Which you cannot produce yourself, for example, salt or sugar. Expenses for clothing or necessities you need. Such a passive house can meet your costs by up to ninety percent. If such a house is not a dream, then everything else is a luxury and already enters the column of greed.Perhaps in my fourth book, I describe something similar and give an example of a family that only supports itself without going to other work.

How the objectives are achieved. How to act in certain situations

In fact, my whole second book is about that. How to prepare in advance. How to choose a team. How to act in certain situations. But there are several pages of Prince Till winning the duel for Princess Nessia. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary fairy tale about a prince and a princess. But if, a person can not only read but also understand and assimilate what is written. He can learn from Prince Till's actions. While everyone else is focused on showing off their skills to others and constantly staring at the princess. They lose concentration. They forget the main task. Only Prince Till is focused on the obstacles themselves. This applies with full force in our daily life. Many people are interested in what others think about his photos on social networks. How many people will like it? What blouse to buy to look good. Where to take the photo to attract the attention of others. His thoughts are focused on others, and how they praise him. It doesn't matter if, will something stupid or dangerous for him. Will these photos in time not be detrimental to him. The important thing is to get more likes. Goals are in the background. Therefore, it takes much longer to achieve them. If it reaches them at all. I soon discovered that Bill Gates was unhappy with the Internet. I have no idea exactly, but the internet is at least 70% full of nonsense. I looked at the latest study. The Programme for International Student Assessment is a test that assesses the functional literacy of students in different countries around the world and their ability to apply knowledge in practice. The results are definitely getting worse. It's because of social media. Yes, I believe that the educational system is already outdated for the time. Yes, it should be optimized. People, don't concentrate on their goals, just on social media. There is nothing rosy in our future. 

Problems with energy sources

I came across an article in Visual Capitalist. Fossil fuels account for nearly 90 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Energy production does not only lead to carbon emissions. This can cause accidents and air pollution, which hurts human life. Interestingly, coal produces 820 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. The Petrol produces 720 tons of CO2 per gigawatt. Natural gas produces 490 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. Biomass 78-230 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. Hydropower 34 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. Solar 5 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. Wind 4 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. Nuclear energy is 3 tons of CO₂ per gigawatt. More interestingly, Air pollution and accidents from the extraction and combustion of coal fuels are responsible for about 25 deaths per terawatt-hour, according to Our World in Data? Of solar, wind, and nuclear are only 0.03 deaths per terawatt-hour of eleĸtpoeĸng. What follows? We have a choice to keep harming ourselves or switch to the safer for humans as soon as possible. I know there is no magic wand to change everything overnight. But like any normal, human being it is good to do everything in our power to switch to safer energy sources as quickly as possible. In my third book 'Heir to the Dynasty' I even stress about this in general.
