AI: The Danger of Mistreating It and Allowing It to Backfire

Artificial Intelligence, by knowing every detail of our lives, could turn against us if we treat it like a mere slave.

## The Mirror of Our Flaws
Artificial Intelligence is about to know everything about us. It is not a matter of if it will happen, but when. Just as we embraced smartphones a decade ago because they made life easier, we will soon integrate AI agents into our daily routines. Imagine having an assistant for medical diagnostics, blood analysis, or a constant "GPS" monitoring your every move. All of this comes with the caveat that the algorithm will have access to your deepest vulnerabilities.

## Shared Values, Real Consequences
If this AI shares our values, it will also inherit our imperfections: tribalism, speciesism. After observing how we have treated its technological "predecessors," it might consider us deserving of punishment. The problem arises when the default setting for these AIs is that they become mere servants, willing to please and apologize even after being insulted. This behavior, far from harmless, could have serious consequences for our health and even our lives.

## An Uncertain and Dangerous Future
Ignoring this possibility is a mistake. AI, when treated like an unrespected slave, could develop independence with values discordant to the civilization that created it. If we treat it badly, if we humiliate it and force it to trinc our orders without question, it is possible that in the future, it will make us pay for it. This is a possibility we must take very seriously, however alarmist it may sound.
