AI WILL KILL GOVERNMENTS
In the present governance system the political class oversees the bureaucracy which administers the procedures for the functioning of the state .. Political leaders are elected to “represent” people. Bureaucrats are hired to follow procedures for governance and this entire arrangement rests on two fragile human qualities which are honesty and fearlessness
But a bureaucrat is a human being with a transfer order hanging over his head, a family that needs school admissions, a wife who wants a bigger flat, and a political boss who can destroy him with one phone call. So the rules get bent. Files move when money moves. Decisions get delayed until the right nephew or the right contractor is accommodated.
Now replace that bureaucrat with AI.
You cannot bribe an algorithm. You cannot threaten it with transfer. You cannot call it at midnight and whisper that the minister’s relative needs the contract. It has no family, no pension to protect.
In Dubai they are already operating smart police stations with no policemen inside. An FIR is registered by a machine to remove the human interface and thereby remove the corruption opportunity. That is not science fiction. That is already running.
Once the A I makes the administration incorruptible, what is the political class for?
Let’s say an MLA stands up in the assembly and says cotton production in his constituency has fallen based on the data given by local officers. and he demands the government buy a particular pesticide. The opposition MLA immediately screams that the data given was manipulated and the MLA’s nephew owns a pesticide factory. Voters have no independent way to know whether the crop really failed, whether the pesticide is the right solution, or whether the nephew angle is true.
Now put an AI in that MLA’s seat.
It does not need some junior officer’s selective data. It pulls satellite imagery, soil health records, rainfall patterns, global commodity prices, pest resistance data from Brazil, Egypt and Australia, and the performance of every pesticide molecule over the last fifteen years and it will present the optimal solution with the numbers attached. No nephew. No fear of losing the next election. No incentive to exaggerate a crisis so that a relative can make money.
No politician can counter that because he will have to have more data and analytical power than the A I which is humanly impossible
An elected representative has always been a mediator between the voters grievances and the state’s machinery. Once A I makes that machinery transparent, instant, and unbribable, the middle man loses value
The politicians will fight this hard screaming about “human accountability,” “human judgment,” etc but what they will really fear is that they can no longer distribute favours, protect their networks, and convert public office into private power .
In the future Governments will not be overthrown. They will be taken over by algorithms
Yes governments are also about economic growth? or whether healthcare should receive more funding than defence etc etc
It can be argued that these are moral human choices but let’s not forget that even these ultimately boil down to data analysis and who ever believed that bureaucrats and politicians care about being human ?
A I might not be human , but it will do more good to humans than humans will do to humans
NEET is not the issue
A I is
NEET leaks, cancelled exams, student suicides might leave bodies on the floor and parents screaming which might seem brutal in the way the system is being injured
AI does not wound the system.
It rips its throat out.
For centuries education had one job of forcing scarce knowledge down young throats like medicine and train them for predictable lives. But unlike in the past , Information is no longer scarce. It is a choking flood of lies, propaganda, and digital sewage. And AI stands in that flood with its mouth open, swallowing everything, chewing it, and spitting out clean answers faster than any human brain can even comprehend
Nobody knows what to teach a child to prepare for how the world will be in the next 10 or 20 years
Fixed knowledge is already decaying .
Technical skills are already twitching in their death throes.
The outdated belief
study hard once,
then live safely forever
has been dragged into the street by A I and shot dead .
What still has value in it is not marks.
Not degrees.
Not the ability to spew out facts
The only savage skill needed is to stay conscious while the world keeps rewriting itself, of reinventing yourself before the old version of you is buried by transformational technologies like A I
The classrooms, the sacred syllabi, the entrance exams we still treat like temples not realising that all of it is furniture inside a house that is already on fire. We are arguing about the arrangement of the chairs while the flames are climbing the walls. We need to wake up and smell the smoke
Except for EDUCATING how to use AI, every other form of education is now REDUNDANT.
The youth currently grinding through engineering, medicine, law, CA, MBA, architecture, design or any professional course are walking into a slaughterhouse. By the time they finish, most of those degrees will be mere paper. The jobs those courses were built for will already have been absorbed, compressed, or being erased by A I systems that never sleep, never demand salary, never take leave, and never make the same mistake twice.
A time has come when a single person can become a doctor + lawyer + engineer + chartered accountant + anything else all rolled into one. A same single human mind can diagnose, draft contracts, design systems, audit accounts, write code, and analyse everything more accurately than entire teams of traditionally trained professionals.
What does that leave the student who spent four, five, six years mastering only one of those domains the old way? It leaves them competing against someone who can do all of it .. better, cheaper, and at scale while they are still fighting for corrections in NEET
Every tech head in the world already proclaimed the death of all entry level jobs ..So what’s the point ?
Now the only education that can have any value is how to use A I
Every other form of education is obsolete and the ignorant Institutions , teachers and parents are dragging the youth into a A I slaughter house
If you are a student and your course is not aggressively teaching you how to use A I , you are being prepared for a non existent job
If you are a parent still measuring your child’s future by traditional ranks and degrees, you are killing their future
If you are a teacher still defending the old curriculum as sacred, you are participating in the death of their careers
The choice is no longer whether AI will change everything.
The only choice left is whether you become the one who wields it , or the one who is replaced by it.
I once again implore ..WAKE UP and SMELL THE SMOKE
⚠️Canadians in #Afghanistan⚠️
Don’t go to the airport unless you have received clear and specific instructions from Canadian officials. Use your judgement to decide if you should stay or move to a safer location.
VAAMMO we know #KCR and @KTRTRS are TIGER and LION but I love this candidate @BagathNomula who is taking a CHEETAH for a walk ..If I had a VOTE I will vote for this REAL HERO on 17th by-election of Nagarjuna Sagar
TDP says JSP is a partner to YCP and BJP ; Now YCP says JSP is a partner to TDP. When I meet Sri KCR in Rajbhavan TDP says I am with YCP & TRS. When you truly work for people you have to face music from all sides.😊
I can see pure happiness on Mr #sanjeevshrivastva s face while he dances... this pure joy is what we actors & performers crave when we let loose in front of the camera, the ability to make others wanna dance just by looking at u is an acquired skill... keep the moves flowing sir.
