Artificial intelligence has always been a topic that has been circling the thinking heads of the greatest geniuses in recent decades. From science fiction to reality, being used as villains in some books or movies, but slowly sneaking into our days. Boosted by the expansion of the Internet, the infinite repository to access to get the information they need, AIs are beginning to really attract attention. In fact, there are many who predict that, in a few years, the world will be practically governed by these intelligences… if it is not already. And we live tied to the digital and virtual world, where the control of algorithms and bots is complete. They decide what you see, what you eat, what you consume, through the advertisements and messages that you receive on social networks. They know what you listen to, what you like, what you secretly enjoy. …They know you better than you know yourself.
Artificial intelligences are a tool that can bring incredible benefits to human beings, in the same way that fire did, overcoming the distance. It can become a real turning point when it comes to understanding the world, relying on them to perform calculations and obtain results that were impossible until a few years ago. However, like any other tool, it can also be devastating in the wrong hands. And it is that point that currently most worries those who know the potential of Artificial Intelligence. The problem lies in who manages them and what their objectives are. Use them to try to find a solution to a complicated medical problem? Of course. Have a cover illustration for our book in five minutes, instead of paying a designer? This is where the problems begin. But it doesn’t just have to do with art or creativity. The possibilities offered by Artificial Intelligence are practically infinite, and their potential reaches such that today, manipulating a photo or video is very simple. To the point that pornographic montages are beginning to appear with very famous people who would never do porn in their lives… but watching the videos, one no longer knows what to believe.
