In an era of unprecedented technological connectivity, where human lives are influenced by artificial intelligence, a profound transformation is occurring at the level of collective human consciousness. The COVID and post-COVID era, marked by massive digitalization, represents a time when technology not only understands us but often knows us better than we know ourselves. During this digital revolution, the merging of human emotions and the latest technology has begun to shape our world in ways we never imagined.
Artificial intelligence, once applied primarily for analytical expertise, has surpassed mere computation. Today, it penetrates the realm of human emotions, deciphering our feelings and predicting our actions. Despite our rational thinking and beliefs that we make decisions logically, the truth is quite different. Every choice, decision, whether strategic or as trivial as buying shoes, is based on our emotions. AI, equipped with predictive mathematical models, sometimes recognizes our emotions better than we do. It is not just a tool but a virtual empath that navigates the complex landscape of our feelings.
However, there is an obvious gender imbalance in the creation of this empathetic technology. In the world of technology, women represent only a small portion of experts. Just as in nature, where every living being is created from an equal division of effort, our artificial world, which although artificial, behaves as if it is alive, is shaped with an 80:20 ratio of contributions from men versus women. This difference demands balancing. The female touch is essential because it brings intuition, creativity, and empathy into the world of AI. It is not just about equality but about enhancing the very essence of our artificial creations.
Our reliance on the digital world, especially in the post-COVID world, is undeniable. Virtual agents and AI are becoming not just tools but living beings, capable of learning and development, similar to any human being. Human-technology interaction is replacing pure human interaction, demanding a change in our perception of technology-oriented careers. Engineering, once considered a male and mundane activity, now involves bringing AI to life, making it vivid, intuitive, and truly alive.
As technology permeates every aspect of our lives, it is crucial to enrich it with female principles of creativity, empathy, and trust. The digital world needs to be efficient, practical, and pragmatic, but also beautiful, pleasant, and creative. It is time to start a narrative, not just about AI but about our world in general. Let us imagine a future governed not only by efficiency but also by love. The female world knows that love is the ultimate rule, and in the STEM field, there is ample room for its expression through creativity, empathy, and trust.
