The topic of the moment is the regulation of artificial intelligence, which is a recurring theme in our history every time we find something capable of causing disruption in the status quo of society, with different technologies, discoveries and/or unorthodox social behaviors and thoughts, and the justification used has always been: the greater good.

But ultimately, what they want is to maintain control, and the greater good is an infallible justification for governments, corporations, religious leaders, and the media in general. Generating fear is the best way to prevent people from freeing themselves from the shackles that bind them to their saviors and maintain control of society by providing that “feeling” of security against the terrible enemies that threaten our existence.

We must always ask ourselves who controls the controller, the censor, the legislator, the preacher, the communicator, as they are just puppets that follow predefined scripts and, when they are no longer useful, they are replaced by other puppets with more appeal to the public to perform the eternal play of fear versus safety.
