Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a powerful paradigm shift opportunity to human society as no other technology-dimension has done in the history of the human race. The reason for this is evident: past scientific and technological revolutions replaced human muscle power and this increased the value of human intelligence. Thus, in spite of labor displacement, mass human capital remained relevant and vital. In the information age, computers helped create, store, process and share vast quantities of digitized information, and human intelligence began to be valued even more highly for its capabilities to manage computing meaningfully and profitably. However, the dawn of the AI technology dimension challenges the human identity as never before as AI has begun competing for the crown of superior “intelligence” with human entities. AI is on a winning trajectory in many of the battles with human intelligence, as has been seen in gaming through the sustained victories of AI agents over the best of human Chess and Go grandmasters.
