It is not a topic of debate or a matter of sensational headlines only in Albania. The topic is current, but the answer in democratic societies comes through policies that are based on well-documented studies.
Creative work always comes through painstaking effort. Hours spent staring at a blank page, projects discarded and restarted from scratch. In short, every creative work and every project requires time and dedication. Can Artificial Intelligence change this? Can we have a product without work and without effort? Can Artificial Intelligence replace humans?
A recent study by Harvard University concludes that Artificial Intelligence, although it has significantly made our lives easier, cannot replace humans, nor can it serve as a cure for human vice.
Certain elements of the human work process can be entrusted to Artificial Intelligence. But in cases where the work is directly related to individual responsibility, legal or intellectual property, Artificial Intelligence cannot replace humans.
Artificial Intelligence requires the preparation of human resources and a high institutional culture, which we often lack. Its use, without creating a system based on knowledge and merit, does not solve our problems with corruption or mismanagement. It is good to focus on how Artificial Intelligence can improve our work in a specific aspect or field. The world knows many such discoveries, such as: discoveries in the field of drugs, proteins or medicine.
Thanks to technological developments, anyone preparing a law, specific documentation for a competition, writing an article or a book can do it faster with an artificial intelligence co-author. For example, I have called on Artificial Intelligence to help improve a job that could have taken me days or weeks.
Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence has improved it in just a few seconds. I deliberately considered it "co-author" because it is not just writing. Everything starts from thinking. So, in no case can human responsibility be contracted, because human judgment remains irreplaceable for society.
Therefore, we must promote education that develops human capacity by reading, for example, a specific text, and not by taking it ready-made from Artificial Intelligence. We must fight laziness and policies that are offered as acquiring skills for the sake of skills.
Young people should be motivated to maintain the level of human excellence that previous generations have made possible, even though it is tempting to contract it. We must find ways to focus on living a human life, without compromising it, by improving standards through the appreciation of human knowledge and effort, rather than by pursuing harmful experiments.
