Preface

AI or Artificial Intelligence aims to build services and systems to carry out instructions and

tasks that require human intelligence. Problem-solving, learning, comprehending natural

language, spotting patterns, and making decisions are some of these tasks. Artificial

intelligence (AI) systems try to mimic human cognitive processes and automate tasks to

increase productivity and accuracy.

Artificial intelligence (AI) uses the power of data, algorithms, and computational processing

to mimic cognitive processes similar to humans. Massive amounts of data, either structured

or unstructured, are first gathered and then preprocessed to make them ready for analysis.

Through iterative processes, machine learning algorithms, a subset of AI, are trained on this

data to identify patterns and make predictions or decisions. Once trained, AI models can use

the information and patterns they have learned from the training data to carry out tasks like

image recognition, natural language understanding, or even complex problem-solving. Due to

this ability, AI systems can now automate processes, improve workflows, and offer insights

that were previously only available to humans.

Table 1(a): Comparison of Industrial Ages & Achievements

The above table shows that artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced significantly since its

early stages, going through phases comparable to the stages of the Industrial Revolution. AI

is revolutionising how we process information and make decisions, progressing from its

primitive era, just as the Industrial Revolution transformed manual labour and ushered in a

new era of industry and innovation.

6
Early AI systems were limited to simple calculations, much like pre-industrial times when

human labour was the main driver of productivity. The primitive machines that preceded

modern AI could only perform basic calculations and tasks; they lacked any capability for

learning or adapting. AI reached a stage similar to the early stages of the Industrial

Revolution as it continued to advance. Rule-based systems existed, allowing AI to make

decisions following predefined rules. This period was comparable to the Industrial

Revolution's mechanisation of textile production, in which automation replaced manual

labour.

With the introduction of machine learning, the field of AI advanced significantly. Like how

the Second Industrial Revolution led to mass production and assembly lines, machine

learning allowed artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse enormous datasets and learn from

them, gradually improving its performance. Compared to rule-based systems, AI can now

solve complex problems and predict outcomes thanks to this stage.

Our current stage of AI development, marked by the rise of deep learning and neural

networks, can be compared to the third wave of the Industrial Revolution. These AI systems

can process images, language, and patterns with astounding accuracy because they closely

resemble the complexity of the human brain. Similar to how the Third Industrial Revolution

gave rise to the digital age and the Internet, this era revolutionised the healthcare, finance,

and transportation sectors.

7
Looking ahead, AI has the potential to transform society in the same way that the Information

Age did by transforming how we access and share knowledge. AI will develop further,

possibly reaching levels of autonomy and general intelligence. This development will usher

in a new era where AI systems work in unison with people, boosting productivity, resolving

challenging issues, and expanding the bounds of what was previously thought possible.

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on many fronts has been made possible by its

development. In many industries, AI has significantly increased productivity and innovation.

AI aids in diagnosing diseases and developing new drugs in healthcare, ultimately saving

lives. With the development of autonomous vehicles, transportation has advanced, making

travel safer and more convenient. AI algorithms in finance help with fraud detection and

portfolio management, which is advantageous to both people and companies. Platforms for

personalised learning are advantageous for education because they improve accessibility and

educational quality. Customer service chatbots powered by AI improve user experiences, and

environmental monitoring tools aid in the fight against global problems like climate change.

Because AI can process and analyse enormous amounts of data, it advances economic

growth, public safety, and scientific research.

8
Chapter 2 Human Perceptions of Innovation

Initial resistance or scepticism people show toward new technology is frequently motivated

by various worries and uncertainties. This resistance may be brought on by a natural

reluctance to upend established routines, a fear of the unknown, concerns over privacy and

security, or any other factors. However, people's behaviour tends to change toward

acceptance and utilization as they become more accustomed to and aware of technology's

advantages.

Here is a progression of bad behaviour to technology adoption with examples:

1. Resistance and Skepticism: Many people may show resistance and scepticism when

a new technology is introduced. For instance, some people initially opposed switching

from traditional cell phones to smartphones out of concern for the potential drawbacks

of constant connectivity.

2. Exploration and Learning: People may begin to explore technology as they grow

more curious about it or as they see how it benefits others. People started

experimenting with different apps and features on smartphones.

3. Benefits Identification: Many people, especially educators and mathematicians, were

sceptical when electronic calculators were first introduced. They were concerned that

relying too heavily on calculators would cause a decline in mental computation

abilities. Some people have also questioned the dependability and accuracy of these

new gadgets. They practised basic arithmetic functions and learned how to use these

9
 devices. Calculators were initially viewed as tools for specialized tasks or

double-checking manual calculations.

Figure 2(a): Math teachers protesting against the use of calculators

4. Convenience and accessibility: When personal computers were first introduced,

Computers were viewed as complex and intimidating machines, and adoption was

resisted due to a lack of understanding and familiarity. Some people began to

experiment with computers. They began to learn how to use them, comprehend basic

functions, and navigate the software. Computer literacy programs and training courses

have emerged to assist users in becoming more familiar with these devices.

As people recognize the benefits and adapt to the technology, initial scepticism and resistance

give way to acceptance and utilization. This pattern has been observed in the adoption of

various technologies throughout history, from the printing press to the internet, and it

10
emphasizes the importance of familiarity and tangible benefits in shaping human behaviour

toward new technology.

Chapter 3 Expert Opinion on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about a period of dramatic change in many facets of

human existence. The promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly

apparent as we approach the start of a new decade: it can significantly improve most people's

lives. AI is poised to change industries, improve personal well-being, and revolutionize how

we interact with the world around us over the next ten years. This investigation explores how

AI is expected to improve society, from healthcare and education to transportation and

beyond, and eventually paints a picture of a more promising and technologically advanced

future for people. It is not just us saying it. The experts are saying it, too.

For example, In 2018, Iain M. Cockburn and Rebecca Henderson conducted a study

about This research on the effect of artificial intelligence on innovation. New

technology can help both original and imitation methods. For example, technology

like plastic moulds can enable novel designs and foster innovation, but they also

provide more opportunities for reverse engineering. Machine learning is a more

11
sophisticated form of mimicry; it looks at what "works" (in some sense) and looks for

ways to capitalize on that relationship. In light of this, AI has the potential to be a

flexible tool for both innovation and imitation. Consider using a news aggregator.

Machine learning affects how many news aggregators work; they connect users with

exciting news items.

In 2019, Justus Wolff, Josch Pauling, and Andreas Keck published a Journal of

Medical Internet research about Artificial Intelligence's economic impact on health is

examined in this study. AI can assist healthcare institutions in cutting costs by

automating administrative tasks, increasing operational effectiveness, and early

disease detection, which can result in more affordable treatments. Additionally, by

analyzing enormous amounts of patient data, images, and medical records, its powered

tools can improve the accuracy of medical diagnoses, resulting in better and quicker

diagnoses.

While the development of artificial intelligence has the potential to benefit the

majority of people in several ways, its effects will rely on how it is created, put into

practice, and governed. A proactive approach to addressing issues and ensuring ethical

considerations is crucial to maximize the advantages of AI and deter any potential

negatives.

12
Chapter 4 Artificial Intelligence on Well-being

Artificial Intelligence has the opportunity to drastically improve well-being by enhancing

access to quality healthcare, personalized education, and efficient services. This can be

achieved by leveraging AI technologies to provide more accessible and tailored solutions to

individuals, addressing their inherent drive to improve their overall quality of life.

Figure 4(a): AI on Well being

Quality Healthcare:

Diagnosis and Treatment System: Artificial intelligence-powered diagnostic tools can

analyze medical data, including images and patient records, to assist healthcare professionals

in early disease detection and personalized treatment plans. This leads to quicker

interventions and better outcomes. For example, AI-powered algorithms can analyze medical

images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans to detect abnormalities the human eye may miss.
13
Telemedicine: AI-driven virtual healthcare platforms can provide remote consultations and

monitoring, extending access to healthcare services in remote or underserved areas. The

robotic voice that has been being used for customer service is operated by an AI system.

Drug invention: AI algorithms can accelerate drug discovery processes, potentially leading

to the development of more effective treatments for various diseases, including rare and

complex conditions.

Personalized Education:

Figure 4(a): AI on Education

Learning Methodology: AI can personalize education by assessing individual learning styles

and progress, adapting the curriculum accordingly, and providing students with tailored

resources and challenges. AI is the updated data source that can be utilized in any report or

documentation.

Language Learning: AI-powered language learning apps can provide personalized lessons,

feedback, and practice exercises, allowing learners to acquire new skills more efficiently.

14
Accessible Education: AI-driven transcription and translation tools can make educational

content accessible to people with disabilities and non-native speakers, further expanding

learning opportunities.

Efficient Services:

Figure 4(b): AI on Services

Intelligent Cities: AI can optimize urban infrastructure and services, reducing traffic

congestion, energy consumption, and pollution, leading to a higher quality of life for

residents.

Customer Service: AI chatbots and virtual assistants can enhance customer service by

providing quick, round-the-clock support for various products and services.

Financial Management: AI-driven financial apps can assist individuals in managing their

finances, making informed investment decisions, and optimizing their financial well-being.

15
Individuals are inherently driven to seek ways to improve their overall quality of life, and AI

can facilitate this pursuit in several ways:

Figure 4(c): AI on Individual Capacity

Personalization: AI can analyze vast amounts of data about an individual's preferences,

habits, and needs to deliver personalized recommendations and solutions. Whether it is

personalized healthcare plans, educational resources, or product recommendations, AI helps

individuals make choices that align with their unique goals and circumstances.

Efficiency: AI-driven services and automation can save individuals time and effort in various

aspects of their lives. This allows them to focus on more meaningful activities and reduce

stress, improving their well-being.

Accessibility: AI can break down barriers to access by providing solutions that are more

inclusive and available to a broader range of people. This not only enhances individual

well-being but also promotes social equity.

16
Continuous Improvement: AI can assist individuals in setting and achieving their goals,

whether improving health, learning new skills, or managing finances. With data-driven

insights and feedback, individuals can track their progress and make informed decisions to

enhance their well-being.

However, the widespread adoption of AI must be accompanied by ethical considerations, data

privacy protections, and equitable access.

Identity and the Human Experience:

Artificial intelligence advances have raised profound questions about what it means to be

human. These questions often revolve around our sense of self, closely linked to our abilities,

skills, and societal contributions. To examine this complex topic, we can draw insights from

behavioural science to understand better the human experience in the context of AI

advancements.

Skills and Abilities: Human identity is often tied to our unique skills and abilities.

Historically, our abilities to think critically, solve complex problems, and display creativity

have set us apart from machines. AI's ability to mimic or surpass these skills challenges our

perception of what makes us distinctly human.

Self-Worth and Validation: Much of our self-worth is derived from our ability to contribute

meaningfully to society. Employment, career accomplishments, and personal achievements

are central to our self-identity. As AI automation disrupts industries and replaces specific job

roles, individuals may grapple with a sense of purpose and self-worth.

Empathy and Human Connection: Our capacity for empathy and emotional connection

with others is a hallmark of our humanity. AI-driven chatbots and virtual companions may

17
offer companionship and support but lack genuine emotions and understanding. The

challenge is distinguishing between genuine human connections and interactions with

AI-driven entities.

Existential Loneliness: The rise of AI might exacerbate existential loneliness as individuals

increasingly engage with AI-driven entities, leading to a sense of detachment from genuine

human relationships. Behavioural science can help us study the impact of these interactions

on mental health and well-being.

Purpose and Fulfillment: Humans often find purpose and fulfilment in making meaningful

contributions to society. As AI takes on tasks and roles that were once exclusively human,

individuals may struggle to define their place and value in the workforce and society.

Creative Expression: Creativity is a fundamental aspect of human identity. While AI can

generate art, music, and literature, the question arises: Is it genuine creativity if it lacks

human emotional depth and experience? Our perception of creativity and artistic expression

may evolve in response to AI capabilities.

18
Chapter 5 Artificial Intelligence and Productivity,
Changing Nature of Work

AI is a potent tool that can automate tasks, solve complex problems, and create new products

and services, increasing productivity, efficiency and innovation. AI can also help us

understand the world around us, which can help people make decisions and respond to

programs, policies and incentives rationally.

AI automates many tasks currently performed by humans and can save us time to focus on

more crucial tasks. For example, AI can be used in risk-managing tasks that are usually done

by humans, to clean up pollution, provide education and healthcare in remote areas, automate

tasks in the workplace such as customer service, data entry and manufacturing, copywriting,

transcribing and so on.AI can also be applied in other sectors effectively, for example, AI can

be used in recruitment and talent acquisition, employee onboard and training, skill assessment

and development, eliminating tedious and dangerous tasks and so on.

However, several concerns exist about AI potentially automating tasks previously performed

by humans. For example, the main concern is that it would lead to job displacement, and a

decline in worker autonomy would change the nature of work and could replace humans in

some industries, which are dangerous, repetitive, high degree of precision tasks. However,

more complex issues, interpretation and decision-making still require human intervention.

There would still be many tasks that need to be performed by humans that AI systems can not

perform, and at the same time, AI can also positively impact the workforce, and new work

will emerge with the changing scenarios. For example, when the first industrial revolution
19
occurred in the late 18th century, it had a profound impact on workforces and the nature of

work as the society was more traditional and characterised by a subsistence agriculture-based

economy with intensive labour, low levels of trading and a population that does not have

scientific perspectives.

Nonetheless, the workers faced challenges and struggles to cope with new things. However,

at the same time, it also generated opportunities for positive change. It contributed to the

eventual inequality through the collective efforts of workers, governments and societies to

address the challenges it posed. AI can also positively impact the workforce, contribute to

addressing inequalities and can work toward reducing inequalities.

Productivity and the changing nature of work

AI can be helpful in many tasks, including risk tasks in several ways that humans previously

did:

Manufacturing and Robotics:

● AI-driven robots and automation systems are used in manufacturing plants to perform

repetitive and precise tasks. For example, Japan and Germany have been using AI

robotics in industries like automotive and manufacturing to enhance productivity

efficiently.

● Waste management in the medical sector:

AI can be used to manage medical waste with a remarkable positive impact on human health

because there are risks of infectious diseases while disposing of medical waste. AI robotics

could be used to dispose of medical wastes properly, which would help to reduce risks to

20
human health and the environment. We can substitute AI in this sector and help people from

infected diseases and dying.

To help in the Environmentally Disaster prone areas:

AI can be used in environmentally disaster-prone areas as AI can help to predict and forecast

disasters accurately, and monitor and assess damage effectively, track hazardous waste,

dispose of waste, which can lead to reduced waste management costs and would save people

from injuries as some of these works are riskier for humans.

In many industries, AI has significantly increased productivity and reduced risks, so there is a

scope where we can address that AI would positively impact the workforce rather than

replace humans altogether.

Behavioural science Principles for deriving a sense, purpose and identity from work in

the era of AI :

Behavioural science can help people derive a sense of purpose and identity from their work

in the era of AI by motivating people with autonomy, mastery and purpose, which would

make them feel like they have a sense of control over their work, feel like they are improving

their skills, and this would lead to efficiency in the workforce. Behavioural science can help

people become supportive colleagues and manage to help people feel valued and respected

because this will not make people feel alienated and dehumanised. It would also help people

with soft skills, such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem-solving,

leading them to become even more valuable in the age of AI.

21
Chapter 6 Adaptability and Skill Development

Adaptability and skill development are crucial in the era of AI-driven changes in the job

market. AI is already doing many automated tasks that humans previously did, which will

continue in the future as well. So, people need to adapt to new tasks and roles to cope with

the changing scenario by developing new skills to survive in the changing nature of work and

the job market because adaptable workers can quickly learn new skills and use them in the

job market.

Ways in which workers can develop their adaptability and skill development:

Continuously Learning upskills and reskill: Workers can develop adaptability by

constantly learning new skills through formal education and upskilling, leading to improved

jobs. People can survive easily in the competitive market by taking courses in data analysis,

machine learning and software development.

Being Open to New Experience: By taking on new challenges and working on new roles,

workers can contribute to the development.

Adaptability can help workers to be more resilient to change: The job market is

constantly changing, and the workers who are adaptable to change can remain in the

competitive job market because they can think and solve problems and work collaboratively

with others.
22
Based on these facts, the role of government is crucial because governments could invest in

education and training programs to help the workers adopt change, increase productivity, and

ensure that everyone benefits from AI. By developing adaptability, workers on the backfoot

can prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities of an AI driven job market and

reduce unemployment.

23
Chapter 7 Artificial Intelligence and Preservation of
Free Will and Autonomy

AI can help in two ways in the Preservation of Free Will and Autonomy using AI

1. Preventing technostructures from influencing Human Behaviors

2. Enhancing Capabilities without Infringing Autonomy

Use of Advertisement and persuasion tactics used by Producers are prevalent practices in the

business world. In today's world, the rapid development of big data repositories and machine

learning has enabled us to detect patterns, preferences, and predictions about our choices,

allowing corporations to exploit and influence consumers to buy certain products and services

to maximize their profits. These tools use approaches like nudging to sway decision-making.

For example, the online marketplace giant, Amazon faced an anti-trust lawsuit claiming to

have a "Self-reinforcing cycle of dominance and harm" Fung, B. (2023, September 28). The

giant uses various tools to attract consumers and sellers to its platforms, creating barriers and

forcing consumers to stay on the platform. Amazon's " Iliad " project uses numerous layers of

questionnaires and tailored offerings to force consumers to stay in the system (Kim et al.,

2022, p. 21). Such barriers shape consumer behaviors and preferences. It can be identified as

"subconscious manipulation and persuasion" (Fung, B. 2023, September 28).

Another example of persuasion tactics is on the Google search engine algorithms. Currently,

83-94% of all search queries are generated in the Google search engine, thus making Google

a powerful player in determining consumer free will and autonomy. Bianchi, T. (2023,

February 24). Google's search engine uses two methods to show the search results.
24
1. Crawling, Indexing, and raking of the website through search engine optimization

2. Personalized search engine optimization & advertisements

A random search quarry containing "MSI motherboard price in the US" will give the

following result.

Figure 7(a): Output of Google query containing keywords “MSI motherboard price in the

US”

Analyzing the image shows that Google has more than 20.8 million web pages containing the

keywords. However, the first result of the search is from an e-commerce website rather than

the company that builds and sells the particular product. According to Leverage Marketing

(2017, August 14), 67% of the users decide based on the first five search results. Thus,

companies pay hefty money to search engine optimization agencies to place themselves in the

25
top 5. Training Artificial Intelligence to provide outcomes based on the user's parameters

might mitigate the risk and strengthen the free will of the consumers to buy the products they

want. In Institutional Economics, Transaction costs like Search, Information, Sourcing,

Opportunity, and Switching costs are essential to improve consumer welfare and

empowerment. Higher transaction costs lead to inefficiency in the market structure and are

beneficial for powerful corporations. In such cases, Artificial Intelligence can give us a

comparative analysis (with reference) by ploughing through vast data and web pages. In

today's web search, such unbiased information is problematic to come by for consumers.

Enhancing Capabilities without Infringing Autonomy

The role of Artificial Intelligence should be codified and applied to prevent misuse and

ethical dilemmas. If we look at the development of robots and ethical issues, the law of

robotics was first proposed by the famous writer Isaac Asimov in his book "Three Laws of

Robotics". After that, numerous guidelines and ethical standards are published by relevant

authorities, such as

1. Safety standard requirements for human worker-robot interaction in the workplace by

the OSHA

2. Framework for commercial and recreational drone operations by FAA

3. Development and Deployment of autonomous vehicles by the NHTSA

4. HIPAA act (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) for limiting data

collection for robots ( in some contextual cases)

In the UK, A list of "The Five Ethical Principles for Designers, builders, and Users of

Robots" is jointly developed by the EPSRC AHRC.

26
Like AI, another emerging technology is Stem Cell research and cloning. Government

authorities and scientific bodies heavily regulate cloning, especially human cloning.

However, no particular act prevents human cloning, but the Dickey-Wicker Amendment

prevents the creation of human embryos using government funding for any purpose

(including research). Similarly, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act of 1990

prevents stem cell and embryonic research for human cloning. This act was updated in 2008

to accommodate technological advancement and new findings.

Based on this argument, there is a scope where we can address how AI will augment human

capacities or enhance capabilities rather than act like a sentient human being. Based on the

current research and technological developments, creating such sapient AI requires at least

Type I Civilization in the Kardashev Scale. According to Hamish, Clift, Mandeville, & Tom

(2012), Carl Sagan argued that such Civilization can only be reached within the 22nd

Century. In 2016, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, published an interview in Slate,

underpinning the philosophical "Essential" understandings and principles for AI development

(Nadella, S. 2016, June 28). He argued that the AI should offer recommendations rather than

dictate its agenda, i.e. manipulative tactics to influence human behaviour. Users must have

the ability to give their consent and opt-out mechanisms to adjust AI influence and their

impact. There are already moderation tools and bias mitigation (bias generated by the

developers) to make Artificial Intelligence more transparent without infringing the rights of

human beings. Apart from the uncharted territory of Sentient AI, current iterations of

Artificial Intelligence act within the mathematical models and self-moderation.

27
Conclusion
In the ever-shifting landscape of technology, the introduction of AI is a pivotal milestone in

human history. We are traversing the terrain of AI's impact on various facets of human

existence, from economics and healthcare to ethics and personal agency. Standing at the

threshold of a future intertwined with intelligent machines, we must approach this juncture

with tempered optimism and a solid ethical compass.

The potential benefits of AI are boundless, promising to revolutionize industries, augment

human capabilities, and alleviate societal challenges. The symbiotic relationship between

humans and AI presents an opportunity for collaboration and innovation on an unprecedented

scale. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for human ingenuity, we must harness its

potential to amplify our collective intelligence, enabling us to tackle complex global issues

ranging from climate change to public health crises.

In imagining the future of humans in the age of AI, it is evident that our adaptability,

creativity, and capacity for empathy remain irreplaceable assets. As we progress, it is

incumbent upon us to foster a culture of inclusivity, ensuring that the benefits of AI are

accessible to all rather than exacerbating existing disparities.

In closing, AI is one of the final puzzles that humans will solve in the coming centuries. By

embracing the opportunities while remaining vigilant of the challenges, we can navigate this

new frontier with wisdom, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the betterment of

humanity.
