Society By Humans Not By Robots: Robot Control, Human Resistance

Artificial intelligence and robots together with fake news have challenged irrevocably our society at global and local level. Global freedom declined for the 18th consecutive year in 2023. The breadth and depth of the deterioration were extensive. Political rights and civil liberties were diminished in 52 countries, while only 21 countries made improvements. In 2024, our social systems will need to develop a new socio-technic paradigm (i.e., the human intelligence culture [HIC]) in order to understand that human resources, public interest and regulation of artificial intelligence are the main issues in digital transformation. Recently, a new social order and digital systems had been exposed to AI developments in our democratic systems. At the same time, digitization in cultural and social systems has meant that nation-states have become more socially plural and multicultural. These developments have provoked counterpressure’s for governments to maintain or restore national social order in globalization. Within this context, we can identify the contrasting principles between the global versus local interests and between social rights, democratic citizenship, human’s rights and automatic decision-making systems. This chapter examines and analyses artificial intelligence, robots, and human decision-making process together with the role of public interest and regulation in artificial intelligence and robots. It considers critical questions regarding global regulation, social standards and public interest. It examines the need for regulation in digital society. Finally, it outlines the model’s human intelligence culture (HIC) and “Product and Process Regulation” (2PR) as methodological tools to analyze human and social rights in the digital transformation era.
