Exploring Non-Violence as a disruptive force in Technology and A.I.

A.I. has been contributing to transform our everyday business practices in ways we couldn't imagine before, but could non-violence principles play a role in Rebirthing Old Patterns? Read on to begin a line of thought.

Virtual reality can become virtue'al reality?

"I'm excited about AR (Augmented Reality) because..AR allows individuals to be present in the world but hopefully allows an improvement on what's happening presently. Most people don't want to lock themselves out from the world."

— Tim Cook

In an era where technological advancements are rapidly reshaping our world, the concept of non-violence has emerged as a disruptive force, challenging traditional paradigms and prompting us to rethink our approach to innovation. At the forefront of this paradigm shift is the field of original humane intelligence facilitation (Oh! i), which holds the potential to redefine the very essence of how we interact with technology.

The principles of non-violence, rooted in the philosophies of luminaries like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., have long been championed as a means of achieving social change through peaceful resistance and civil disobedience. However, their application in the realm of technology has been largely unexplored – until now.

As A.I. systems become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into our daily lives, there is a growing recognition that these technologies must be imbued with a sense of ethical responsibility and a commitment to non-violence. This paradigm shift is not merely a philosophical exercise; it has profound implications for the development and deployment of A.I. technologies.

One of the key areas where non-violence can play a disruptive role is in the field of cybersecurity. Traditionally, cybersecurity has been viewed through a lens of aggression and retaliation, with nations and corporations engaged in a virtual arms race to develop ever-more-sophisticated offensive capabilities. However, the principles of non-violence challenge this paradigm, prompting us to explore alternative approaches that prioritize humanity, resilience, and the protection of innocent parties.

Crime and disease, then, could be seen from newer perspectives - not as a problem but as opportunities for re-sourcing what is to something better.

Moreover, the integration of non-violent principles into A.I. systems has the potential to reshape our understanding of conflict resolution and decision-making processes. By embedding these values into the algorithms that govern A.I. systems, we can create technologies that prioritize peaceful resolutions, empathy, and a deep respect for life's timeless virtues. Virtual Reality then becomes virtue'al reality.

Perhaps most significantly, the embrace of non-violence in the realm of A.I. has the power to catalyze a broader cultural shift, rebirthing old patterns of thought and behavior that have long been ingrained in our societies. As we grapple with the ethical implications of increasingly autonomous and intelligent systems, the principles of non-violence offer a beacon of hope, reminding us that technological progress need not come at the expense of our fundamental human values.

Technology is a force to recon with and force tends to beget force. With the inclusion of non-violence, 'things' could be seen from a humaner perspective and biologic intelligence as a force of no-force. No-force can then counterbalance force, so creative constructivism does not explode into disruption. This gives violence as a disruptive marketing pattern another chance at reevaluating values. Power dynamics could then come to wower dynamics and we would have more #humanityacrossboundaries.

In the end, the integration of non-violence into the development and deployment of A.I. technologies represents a profound challenge to the status quo – a disruptive force that has the potential to reshape our relationship with technology and chart a course toward a more peaceful, ethical, and sustainable future.​
