Abstract:
Brief critique of the prevailing AI “race” that frames fitness as speed, scale, and automation—arguing this socio-technical trajectory causes mass layoffs, devalues labour, and inflicts severe environmental costs from resource‑intensive data infrastructures. The piece contends this path is a political/economic choice, not inevitability, and calls for international ethical governance: algorithmic transparency, penalties for reckless automation, and alignment of AI development with sustainability and human welfare.
