 Dear Disaster Diary,


Too many people expect wonders from democracy, when the most wonderful thing of all is just having it.
- Walter Winchell



Misinformation And Disinformation

Part 2: AI in charge


The number 1. Global risk according to the WEF
( World Economic Forum 2024 )

Access to Advanced Technology:
  1. As technology like AI gets more advanced, it's not just big governments that can use it. Smaller groups or even individuals might get access to really powerful tools. This could lead to the creation of dangerous things like computer viruses or even biological weapons.


  2. Winners and Losers:


  3. The mix of technology progress and global politics will create winners and losers among both rich and poor countries.


  4. If companies and countries are mainly interested in making money or gaining power, instead of helping everyone, then poorer countries and communities will fall further behind.


  5. They won't benefit from the amazing things AI can do, like helping economies, fighting climate change, or improving healthcare and education. This could also affect job opportunities.


  6. Truth and Reality:


  7. In the future, it might get harder to know what's really true, especially with things like health or social issues. People might have very different opinions on what's real, which could make it harder for everyone to agree on important matters.


  8. Also, governments might try to control what information people can see or share to combat fake news. This could lead to less freedom online and less access to different viewpoints.

So, in simpler terms, advanced technology like AI could give some people more power but leave others behind. It could also make it harder to know what's true and lead to less freedom online.

Here is a thought:....Go and vote for the less evil party. If they support breathable air, clean water and healthy soil for quality food it should be a no-brainer!
