Episode 2: Do we deserve to be ruled by AI (Real life vs. Metal Gear Solid 2)

On This Episode:

We dig into the thought-provoking question: Should people be ruled by AI? We look at how artificial intelligence is woven into our everyday lives, from helping with mental health and keeping us organized to influencing big business choices and shaping our purpose. Using real-life examples, we talk about both the benefits and downsides of AI having more power…like how it can make life easier but also the dangers of becoming too dependent on it and losing our human connections. To mix things up, we relate these ideas to Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 2. In the game, AI is shown as both a manipulator of information and a possible guide for humanity, sparking important questions about free will, truth, and control. By looking at the links between the game and our reality, we explore if AI can ever really be a good thing, or if giving up control might mean losing what makes us human. Is AI just the next step in our evolution, or does it pose a danger to our freedom? Who should really steer the ship for our future?
