The Human Brain, powerful than AI – Smeirat

The human brain has been described to be more powerful than the Artificial Intelligence (AI) as AI can only diagnose disease or an ailment, but can’t cure it. This assertion has been expressed by Engineer Sami Smeirat, the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in Jordan during the UNESCO Global Media and Information Literacy week in Jordan.

He made this assertion during a panelist session on the theme: “Media and Information Literacy in the age of AI-Generated Information. During this session, an AI was brought which answered questions intelligently from both the participants and the panelists. According to him, “AI can only have psychological human behaviour not genetics because each of the human system has a unique genetic structure. The human brain is better than Ai because God has given us out of His divine wisdom. That is why we can only say AI is just a blessing and not a curse.”

Mrs. Francesca Ciriaci, the moderator of the session said that the AI (Robot) who reasoned intelligently and responded to questions during the session hasn’t been pre-programmed to abuser the questions as it was all the innovation of AI.

The aim of the session was to imbue participants with the power of AI in the area of media and information literacy in this digital age.

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) males things easier, information accession and our world less-stressful, yet one shouldn’t fully rely on the AI for everything because it has its limitations.

Over-reliance in the AI would make the students lazy, won’t give room for creativity, innovation and personal development since this device is always with them to help us do their work and sometimes unravel complexity.

For example, a device like Chat GPT is good device it would help students with assignments, essay writing and projects in the matter of minutes. It could also help students generate idea on any subject matter, but won’t help them to think on their own and develop their own thinking faculty because they have the AI to rely on.

“As good as this devices are” Engineer Smeirat still believes that “the most inalienable and indispensable resource that has been given to us is still the human brain as it is far more better than the computer or AI.’

“While the AI can do a lot of tasks at the split of a second, no human invention or scientific innovation can outwit the human brain or compare with it.”

During the UNESCO Hackathon, two students, Danish and Mohsen presented the ‘Mahw’ to the participants and how it works. The Mahw us an app developed these students out of curiousity in order to combat fake news, hate speech, dis/misinformation in their region and has been tested and proven effective to check the verac
