The Prophetic Vision Of J. Krishnamurti On AI’S Impact On Humanity: Released As A Free-To-Download Digital Booklet

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 9: The Krishnamurti Foundation India has released a free-to-download digital booklet—The Future of Humanity in the Age of AI—on J. Krishnamurti’s vision of how AI will impact humanity. What is remarkable is that Krishnamurti talked about this more than 60 years ago. He spoke about the challenges that humanity will face from the ‘intelligent machines’ that were being developed then. With stunning accuracy, he foresaw the effect of AI that today is a reality. Krishnamurti asks, “So, what is the future of man when the computer can outdo everything that man has done or will do?’

With AI taking global centre-stage, this digital compilation is a timely wake-up call for any human being interested in responding adequately and with clarity to its challenge. In 1981 at a talk in Madras (Chennai) Krishnamurti warned, ‘Society is going to be turned upside down. It is coming, whether you like it or not; it is at your door.’ This was in reference to the rise of ‘computers.’ Further in the talk,he poses a profound question: ‘In about ten years, more or less, the mechanical intelligence will outdo man. What then is man?’

Krishnamurti talked about the computer’s ability to learn and correct themselves. He was talking about AI as we know it today. His comparison of it to the human mind makes our problem clear: ‘We are always moving from the known to the known and acting from the known, like the latest computers, which have the capacity to correct themselves, which can experience and learn, and so can go much faster than man in thought in solving problems.’ ‘What are you?’, he then asks.
