Inspired by visual references that I generated through Artificial Intelligence (AI), this portrait reveals the duality of AI - the interplay between its potential for good and the looming shadows of its potential evil. It raises questions about the nature of AI and its connection to our own human existence.
Just like Adam faced the temptation of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, 'Adam' in this artwork confronts the allure of technology through an iPhone—an embodiment of the forbidden fruit of AI. It's a symbolic representation of the choices we face in this rapidly evolving digital landscape.
It’s worth reflecting on the voices of leading AI researchers, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates who have urged us to consider the profound risks that AI might pose to society and humanity. Short-term concerns, such as disinformation, loss of jobs and privacy give way to profound long-term implications, like the concept of singularity in which AI surpasses human intelligence and becomes autonomous.
Could this be our own Adam and Eve moment in which the pursuit of knowledge proves to be our very undoing?
