Lovely and sharp overview of the left-right brain model in relation to AI. I have worked with the L-R brain paradigm in education (specifically I'm a math learning specialist) for decades and am now also a serious student of our current world trajectory, also using Schmachtenberger, Eisenstein as part of my guidance system. I also head up C.L.E.A.R., Citizen League Encouraging Awareness of Radiation, so am reminded of AI costs by seeing this article's and others' treatment of AI as regressive in amplifying data stream and electrical power use. There seems no limit to the multiple ways our current technological path takes us not toward utopia but closer to our demise. Thanks, Patricia!

You wrote, "There seems to be no limit to the multiple ways our current technological path takes us not toward utopia but closer to our demise." Agreed. It's definitely discouraging.

What keeps my hopes up is the possibility there'll be little uptake of AI and robots. I sense that although industries are excited about AI, most of the rest of us are saturated to wazoo with clumsy, cumbersome, mechanical, technologized stuff. There are likely a few good uses for AI such as researching a specific disease or such, but beyond that, prayerfully, sanity and real life will prevail.
