The Parallel Revolution of Artificial Intelligence and the Cognitive Design of the Human Species: The Emergence of Societal Prioritization of Electricity, Water, and Employment

The pursuit of rapid information and solution-based problem-solving has led technologists to acquire extensive knowledge and behavioral data to advance the functionality of artificial intelligence (AI). This cognitive shift towards accelerated access to information and problem-solving has, unintentionally, generated competition between humans and AI for natural and societal resources. The resources are the energy and water required by data centers, as well as societal factors related to employment opportunities, particularly in sectors undergoing automation.
