A.I. Only Functions to Accept & Reject

Telsla's ECO Elon Musk has said "Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence," while speaking to an attendance at the World Government Summit in Dubai.


Through computer technology and input-out-put programing computer scientists have come up with Artificial Intelligence. Our real intelligence is yet a natural ability of the mind. The mind's only function is to either accept or reject whatever the living being is focusing on. Both the Human and animal share this accepting or rejecting act and the act in it self is actually the sole function of the computer. This is how the computer operates. The computer is programed to respond to an input (some mathematical formula) and it gives an output (or response) of "0" or "1" (A YES OR NO).  Of coarse it is very fascinating to observe how quickly the computer can respond using mathematical equations but with a closer look we can observe that the basic mechanisms behind all computer technology is very simple: INPUT EQUATION AND THEN THE RESPONSE (ACCEPT OR REJECT).


Humans and animals alike have been doing this basic act of accepting and rejecting since time immemorial. With this new computer technology and a fancy new name; Artificial Intelligence has sprung wild imaginations of robots out learning humans and possible future robot-against-human wars. It sounds scary, maybe terrifying, overwhelming, maybe exciting at the same time. But the root of everything must be examined to get the better and clearer picture. Robots are nothing more than computers. A robotic or Artificial Intelligence can not occur on its own. A.I. must have been programed at one point in time by human intelligence first and then the Artificial Intelligence can learn with mathematical equations. Robots do not just appear out of no where, humans have created them over time. A tracing to the origin is the key to understanding the workings of everything. Robots and computers are simply chemical compounds intricately placed in working parts to perform the operation of the human mind TO ACCEPT AND REJECT.


So the problem with Artificial Intelligence is that the highest ranking scientists with whom the computer programmers are so enamored have not grasped the simple basic workings of all life, both human and animal. The highest ranking scientists are baffled by how all life has been created. They have made so many theories and yet they are still perplexed. Life or "consciousness" is not simply a combination of chemicals that appeared out of nowhere as they have been trying to prove. Life can only come from life. A computer or robot or Artificial Intelligence can only come from "life" or "consciousness". At no time did the computer just appear. At no time did the human just manifest. At no time did the animal just appear out of thin air.


We can find all this information in the ancient texts. Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita,

"na tv evāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ,
na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ ,
na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ ,
sarve vayam ataḥ param"

"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor any of these Kings and never will there be a time when we cease to be"(Bhagavad-Gita As It Is 2.12)


Just as a small boy maybe so enamored with the automatic sliding doors at the store, the current society is enamored by computer technology and Artificial Intelligence. The more experienced adult knows that there was some human intelligence that created the automatic doors that open when you walk up to them and so it is not very fascinating. But the child does not know and is therefore enamored and may even think that there was a huge BANG that created the automatic doors.


Computers can be programed to learn only what is known by humans. So first we must study the human's basic actions and the human's basic needs. What are the basic needs of humans?


What are the basic needs of all living beings?


Society is interested in four things. Every being in the universe is interested in sleeping comfortably, in mating excuisitly, in feasting on the most delicious food, and defending their point of view (physically or verbally). These are the four basic needs of all beings. In the animal life the Tiger, the dog, the sheep, the mouse; they all sleep, eat, mate, and defend. These four basic demands of the body are both found in the animals and in the human beings.


These for basic needs have been programed into the computers and so the byproduct is that the Artificial Intelligence will produce acceptance and rejection of all things geared to; better eating, better sleeping, better sex life, and better fighting. These are four basic needs of ALL LIVING BEINGS. So what separates the human "living beings" from the animal "living beings"?


The human beings have a unique attribute that is not found in animal life. The human being can question "WHAT AM I"? The dog will not ponder this, the Tiger will not, the mouse will not. The reason is that the animals are doers. They are engrossed in living their natural inclinations to the fullest degree. They are the epitome of their desires. Human life, on the other hand, is meant to understand his higher purpose and his position.


A being in a human form of life should use the intelligence to ask these three essential questions: "WHO AM I? HOW DID I GET HERE? AND WHERE AM I GOING?"


According to the Vedic literature there are 8,400,000 species of life and of those 8,400,000 species there are 400,000 different human species. That is a mere 5% of all life. Assuming a human form of life is a very precious thing and it should be taken seriously. Man only lives at most 100 years and this time can not be taken back. It can not be stopped. It is precious. A human who is only interested in the needs of eating sleeping, mating and fighting is no better than an animal. It is stated in the Bhagavad-gita



yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ
tyajaty ante kalevaram
taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya
sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ

"In whatever condition one quits his present body,
in his next life he will attain to that state of being without fail." (Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. CH8.TXT 6) . 



Should a human being be acting in the same manner as a particular animal, than that is what he will become at death. The body of the particular being suits the particular desires and activities of the being. Evidence of this "reincarnation" process can be found by observing the life of a human being (or even an animal being) through pictures. Observing pictures of the human being at a early stage of 5 years old and comparing that stage with a picture of the same human being at the age of 20 years, one can see clearly that the human being has reincarnated into a different body.


The modern human is bewildered, perplexed and fooled because of the false idea that they ARE their body. The animals do not have the intelligence to comprehend this question: WHAT AM I? The living being is not the body but is actually the soul that runs the body. In the Vedas this is called the "Jiva" (the soul). The Jiva takes different forms according to his different desires and activities ; sometimes as an ant, some times as a Human, sometimes as a Godly creature, sometimes as a Black man, a Chinese man, a Russian woman, a Russian man, a Hindu man, a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim and so on. These designations of the Jiva are according to his activities (Karma). But in whatever a state of being the Jiva is in, the constant fact remains the same: the body changes but the Jiva remains the same. The dead body is just like a lifeless robot machine that has not been charged by electricity or plugged into the powerhouse; it is useless. 

As stated previously, Artificial Intelligence is nothing more than a reflection of the human mind that accepts and rejects. There are two types intelligent men. One man is intelligent in material activities for the use of sense gratification and the other is introspective to cultivate self-realization. Simply by gratifying the senses, one can not be happy. The senses are only tools for the body to function and the mind can easily become dragged away by these senses.  Just like a boy flying a kite; the boy may become very intrigued by watching the kite in the sky and not pay attention to where he is walking. Therefore he may walk into a ditch and hurt himself.   In the Bhagavad-Gita it is stated: 

yā niśā sarva-bhūtānāṁ 
tasyāṁ jāgarti saṁyamī 
yasyāṁ jāgrati bhūtāni 
sā niśā paśyato muneḥ

"What is night for all beings is the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sage." (Bhagavad-Gita 2.69)


The introspective sage is the man who uses his intelligence to accept the things that will advance his eternal life and reject the things that are temporary in this life. That introspective man knows that when the body is dead that soul does not die but accepts another body according to his activities. 

It is said that the materialistic man that is busy making a comfortable life is "asleep" due to the fact that all of his hard work will come to an end when death comes to his material body. Everything that he worked for will be forgotten and again he will start over in the womb of a mother. Should this materialistic man be engaged in simply eating, sleeping, mating, and defending; then he may become an animal in his next life and not have the chance to understand his real eternal life. The hog may think that it is very nice to roll around in the mud and eat stool, but the intelligent man knows that this kind of life is not good for a living being. The man who introspects and uses his intelligence to advance his activities in order that he may not again come to a state of "sleep" where he can be dragged away by his senses into a life of an animal; this is a man of real freedom and a man of REAL INTELLIGENCE.
