Faced with a box that asks to accept conditions to continue downloading content, the response is mechanical, accepting without even reading the warning message, however disturbing it may be, as well as any kilometric text that bears the title of license or terms of use, so that the network merchants know that retaining the entry ticket allows them to impose any condition, demand or requirement, which will not be objected to, because it will not even be reviewed.
Personal, family, patrimonial and financial information is delivered blindly, to accumulate in a collection that has been growing geometrically for more than a quarter of a century, which, gradually, has been growing unsuspected through videos, digitization of files and of the very bulky bundles of forms that we fill out almost daily. Everything is captured, scanned, photographed, attached to emails, and sooner or later forwarded.
The information is found, all, in a human representation of the intangible, invisible and imponderable, the cloud.
In exchange for comfort, we have placed the security of homes, commercial and industrial records, and even the military, in possession of devices that, little by little, and through the relationship of data and information, acquired the ability to learn beyond of its initial programming.
The clumsy movements of the first automata are a thing of the past, and now modern versions can easily outperform us in any number of activities.
The brutal encounter with artificial intelligence is not the first time that we have reached the brink, a breaking point. In recent times, cloning has made us realize that we are capable of creating or generating entities that we do not understand and cannot control.
It is already very clear that the videos, documents and all the data interact and that the reservoir of them is capable of correlating them to obtain conclusions. Spontaneous generation of motives, goals, or ends is not far off, and yet we have chosen to be negligent about it, some ignoring the process and others encouraging faster progress.
