The rapid growth of artificial intelligence raises serious questions about control over human life and its future.

She noted that many AI programs also monitor people and their locations. This means that under certain conditions, artificial intelligence could anticipate needs and make decisions on someone’s behalf in work, daily routines, and personal life. The trend suggests a shift toward machines guiding more of our choices, a shift that warrants thoughtful oversight. [Citation: RIAMO interview]
