The Cyber domain has been birthing newer technologies and making its way into many functions and process of our physical and mental lives. Fragmentation of the ecosystem has been a natural outcome of the pace and divergence of the technological spread.
Information seeking and gathering has been externalized to digital search engines rather than the previous culture of Introspection and Self referencing for information, knowledge and cognition.
Digiverse provides the food for our thoughts, imaginations, fancies and fantasies. The Hybridization of our physical life and cyber life is called phygital. Digi referencing is the mode of forming our perceptions and influencing our Cognitions.
Artificial Intelligence, the advancing technology along with its cognitive computing abilities will gather and consolidate the Data estate of the Digiverse. Apart from the good tech and bad tech divide and the Ethics debate, AI will bring a Convergence of the Digital architecture.
AI will be the new layer of Ego for our Mind’s to experience, collude, contend and mature.
Will it become our Cognitive assistant or another Alter Ego !
If we are talking about someone who struggles with executive functions, AI acts as a secondary brain to help them navigate through decisions and take actions accordingly. We are already in the era of cyborg beings. Assisting genuine use case for people and empowering their lives. Adding on to the comment, I feel AI is already being used to interpret ones reality but it’s not interacting with our reality for us, up until now.
