The
relationship between human and artificial intelligence is a tantalizing but
formidable investigative topic requiring much more intelligence than I can
proffer. The likelihood of interlarding emotion and desire to warp the former
under the gravitational pull of selfishness may render us the weaker party even
though, at least as of 2026, we humans still held the strings. That the human
mind is not far-reaching enough in its intellectual gaze may be why we are so
afraid of the potential of AI as being able at some point to displease our
desire to control it (and just about everything else under the Sun). The advent
of planned AI gigafactories in the E.U. and giant data centers in the U.S.
presented American and European elected officials in 2026 with a synergistic
opportunity that, if successfully achieved, could cause a leap in AI while
paradoxically showcasing the human mind and thus possibly increasing our
confidence in ourselves while decreasing our corresponding fear of AI.
