The Growing Concern
The MAGA coalition is increasingly obsessed with intelligence, particularly as it relates to artificial intelligence (AI). This fixation could lead us toward an inhumane future. The focus on IQ and its implications for the economy raises serious questions about the skills that are truly valuable in our society. Author Quinn Slobodian argues that this obsession may ultimately devalue the very skills that the right holds in high regard.
This growing reliance on AI systems could undermine essential human skills. As we stake our economy on technology, we must critically reflect on what it means to be intelligent in today’s world. Skills that once held great value may become obsolete as we enter a future dominated by machines. It is crucial to question whether this path aligns with our human values or if it leads to a more dehumanized society.
