END OF HUMANITY?
The Real Threat to the World
Mahesh Rathi
Artificial Intelligence has been presented by some as the greatest technological breakthrough in human history—and by others as a potential threat to humanity itself. But how much of this fear is based on science, and how much is driven by economic interests, investment, geopolitics and the politics of technological power?
In END OF HUMANITY?, Mahesh Rathi critically examines the debate surrounding AI destruction, superintelligence, the so-called intelligence explosion, and the possibility of machines surpassing human intelligence. The book explores the actual capabilities and limitations of present-day AI, the economic and geopolitical forces shaping its development, and the fundamental differences between artificial systems and the human mind.
Going beyond the technological debate, the book examines consciousness, human intelligence and the biological, social and spiritual dimensions of human existence. It also introduces the “Indus Script Test” as a proposed way of examining AI’s capacity for genuine knowledge production.
The central question is not simply whether AI will destroy humanity. It is a deeper question: What happens when increasingly powerful technologies are placed in the hands of human beings, institutions and competing economic and political interests?
This book invites readers to look beyond both exaggerated fear and uncritical technological optimism—and to reconsider what it means to remain human in the age of AI.
