ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A MAJOR POLITICAL VACUUM
Arguably, there are two major developments that have transformed fundamentally the relationship of human beings with regard to society, and those two events are: the formation of the Global Government in 1920 by the British Empire, and the advent of AI.
The whole human civilization has functioned due to a simple mechanism: people need one another; every person has something to offer to others; hence, the need and the satisfaction thereof has served as the currency of the access to natural resources. By satisfying the needs of one another, people have been forced to cooperate, build civilizations, make discoveries, invent, and guarantee their access to natural resources by virtue of work and offering services of all kinds, including intellectual and military.
In 1920, something unprecedented took place. There were no longer competing empires or political entities trying to expend their power. The British Empire turned into a global power. The Ottoman Empire, which was the only opposing power at that time, fell catastrophically. For the first time in human history, the entire world was controlled by one single political entity. In short, there was no longer any political opposition.
When the world was divided into empires and competitive political powers, which is to say, there were real wars, societies were forced to cooperate against real enemies. The government was in real need of soldiers in order to defend its ground against real threats. So, apart from the ability to work, people had another value: they were soldiers. The society needed them. The government needed them. They could satisfy a very important need: to fight.
The emergence of the Global Government marked the end of real wars; consequently, not only was the demand for real soldiers about to fall, but for the first time in human history the government was no longer in real need of people to fight wars apart from playing military theaters. In other words, people were less valuable. They didn’t need each other as before. The currency of access to natural resources was devalued. Governments don’t need to please people as before because there are no real enemies.
As if the Global Government was not disturbing enough in terms of the access of people to natural resources, hi-tech, robots and AI shook the very mechanism which lies at the foundation of human society: the need for one another as the currency of access to natural resources and civilizational rise.
While you and I are in need, the society is no longer in need of us in order to allow us satisfy our needs. In other words, our access to natural resources is becoming increasingly more and more difficult, and what’s worse, not only is not the government the major political mechanism to facilitate the over all access to natural resources by employing work as the main currency, it is becoming in reality the biggest hindrance because it no longer needs us.
To summarize, the Global Government of 1920 formed by the British Empire and the US Republic and the emergence of AI and hi-tech in general have rendered humans ‘useless.’ Our national governments do not need us to fight real wars (not theatrical ones), to work and offer services. We are fully replaceable by machines and AI. The only reason why the government still continues to deliver some services for us is the fear that the people might look for alternative ways to satisfy their needs, that is, looking for a direct access to natural resources. However, this is not a sufficient reason to force the government treat us fairly and built trust.
On the other hand, people might massively lose trust on the government as the latter has no real reason to function properly. There is a major paradox: people need access to natural resources in order to live while the government – the very entity which controls the resources – does not need them; hence, the possibility of a political vacuum, which has started to appear at an early stage, especially with people raising questions about the current unreasonable conflicts, fake wars, fake politics, massive propaganda, and dysfunctional political institutions, both national and international.
The political vacuum is unavoidable. It is becoming a reality, especially given the betrayal and immoral nature of the modern secularist governments as part of the Global Government, which are not playing their natural and traditional role, that is, to serve us, but they are striving to control us, divide and conquer, deceive, and lie to us.
While the moral judgment is more complex because we all have contributed, positively and negatively, to reach this paradox, the real question is: what and who will fill this political vacuum. Perhaps this is a wake-up call for Muslims.
