In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Let’s Not Forget Human Intelligence

Generative artificial intelligence: where we stand in AI with humanity and education

Hello to all the human intelligence reading this blog.

Today, we’re talking about Artificial Intelligence—specifically Generative AI. But before diving in, let’s remind ourselves: while we’re discussing AI, are we still using our own humanity the right way?

Think about this: If I say "Hello" to Gemini or ChatGPT and they don’t respond, it’s okay—they’re just machines. But if we humans don’t respond to a simple "Hello," then maybe it’s time to ask—has our human intelligence, or worse, our humanity, started to fade?

So here I am…  

Hello.  

Did your mind instinctively reply “Hello”? If yes, there’s still a human inside you. If not, maybe you're unknowingly slipping toward artificial behavior.

This simple “test” matters. Because in this world of rapidly advancing AI, we must ensure we’re using AI not to replace ourselves, but to enhance our human intelligence and preserve our humanity.

The Spark That Ignited This Thought

For days, I’ve been thinking about those pioneers who started from zero and built today’s powerful LLMs (Large Language Models). They’ve dedicated their minds, bodies, and resources to AI. I’m not an expert in artificial intelligence, nor am I an education specialist. But after completing Google’s 5-day Generative AI course, something clicked.

I realized that AI can do more than automate work—it can help us learn, grow, and evolve. We can redirect intelligence, amplify it, and give it purpose. And most importantly, no matter how advanced machines get, they can’t take away my human intelligence—they can only enhance it.

So, I say with conviction:  

I am human intelligence. That is mine. That is my power.

The World of Versions—and the World of Values

Let me ask you:  

Do you know the latest versions of ChatGPT and Gemini?  

Yes—GPT-4.5 and Gemini 2.5.

Now ask yourself—what did they replace? GPT-4.0 and Gemini 2.0.  

And soon, GPT-5.0 and Gemini 3.0 will replace them.

That’s how AI works.  

Every new version replaces the old one.

But does the same happen with human intelligence?  

No. Human growth builds upon the old. It doesn’t discard it. That’s our superpower. And it’s a strength we must now intentionally cultivate with the help of generative AI.

This blog is my humble attempt to reflect on that.

 Education: From Atoms to Intelligence

Let’s travel back in time.

Perhaps education began when the first human evolved from a single cell. Maybe a mother taught her child something. Or maybe, metaphorically, the first atom "taught" the second. Either way, we’ve been learning since the beginning of time.

Early on, education taught us how to use our hands—to shape stones, make tools, hunt, survive.  

Then came machines. They took over physical work. Education shifted gears:  

 "Let’s teach how to use the brain."

And for centuries, it did.  

Until the market arrived, saying, “Why use the human brain? Computers can do that too.”

Another shift. Education began teaching intelligence —management, creativity, poetry, logic, algorithms.

But now, AI is taking over even that.

So the question arises—what is left to teach?

Real-World AI: From Classrooms to Crime Prevention

Let’s not deny it—AI is improving our lives:

- Navigation: Google Maps shows us traffic-free routes in seconds.

- Homework Help: AI models like ChatGPT help solve complex problems effortlessly.

- Fake News: Students in rural India built chatbot APIs to fact-check viral fake news—preserving peace in their communities.

- Classroom Analytics: In countries like China and Korea, AI-powered cameras detect boredom in students and alert teachers to improve their lectures in real time.

- Cybersecurity: AI predicts threats faster than ever.

- Highway Safety: Smart cameras detect when truck drivers are struggling—sometimes even catching hijackers before a crime happens.

- Sports: AI tracks athlete performance to boost results with intelligent feedback.

The impact is real. The technology is powerful.

But there’s a critical layer we’re missing...

 The Mission We’re Overlooking: Rebuilding Humanity

We’ve talked about how AI helps with tasks. But how can it help us become more human?

- What if we taught children that true beauty is emotional, not physical?

- What if we used AI to prevent hatred between nations, religions, and communities?

- What if we used LLMs to detect misinformation, encourage empathy, and promote unity?

AI is powerful—but it’s neutral. We decide how it’s used.

Let’s use it to build character, spread compassion, and strengthen values—in children, adults, leaders, and learners alike.

A New Era of Education Begins

We no longer need to spend years training people to use their hands or memorize complex calculations.

We have machines for that.

Now, our time and energy must go into teaching values, empathy, humanity.

If we get this right, we’ll solve not just technical problems, but deep-rooted social issues—hatred, inequality, division.

This is the real-world challenge we must tackle.  

This blog was written with that mission at heart.

Thank you so much for reading.  

You might agree, you might not—and that’s okay. Debate is part of being human.

But if the pioneers of AI taught us anything, it’s this: to move forward, we must think differently.

 Think beyond the machine. Think humanity.

Let’s not lose ourselves in artificial intelligence—let’s use it to find our humanity again.

Thank you. Truly.🙏
