Fairy tales possess a profound influence on human existence by fueling our imagination and molding our mindset regarding certain situations. Maria Tatar’s article “An Introduction…

“If superior alien civilization sent us a message saying, ‘We’ll arrive in a few decades’, would we just reply, “Ok, call us when you get there ­ we’ll leave the lights on’? Probably not­ but this is more or less what is happening with AI” This is a quote made by a person who relies on technology to live and his name is Stephen Hawking. Every week, every day , every hour we rely on technology either to keep us entertained, such as mobile phones, or to keep us alive, such as pacemakers. Over 60% of humans use technology every day. Most teenagers spend around four to five hours on their phones. Nowadays the only thing people care about is the right angle of the selfie they are about to take or how many followers or friends they have on what ever social media platform they are on. But what if one day the technology that we rely on takes over and destroys mankind as we know it ­­ because one day we will get so advanced in technology that we will just lose control of it. Right now this may all just sound like the beginning of a sci­fi movie such as the ‘Terminator’ or any other movie based in the future. Technology is a wonderful this but like all wonderful things, humans have a tendency to twist it to their own means. Einstein once said, “Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” Whilst there is no machine that can identify visual objects or speech with the reliability and flexibility of humans? we have already created a piece of technology that can kill us all in just a matter of seconds. That weapon is called an atomic bomb. What I wonder about is how all this technology and knowledge will be used. What is it going to be like in another fourty years or so? Will we still be here? We have already taken millions of lives with the use of technology. Not only is there a high possibility that the artificial intelligence …
