Artificially Disabled: Is There Anybody Out There?

In this piece, I explore the unsettling ethical landscape of AI as a tool not just for enhancement, but for intentional harm. Through a personal lens, I detail how AI was used to disable my own capabilities—raising critical questions about its potential for manipulation and control. This is not just an academic exercise; it’s an urgent conversation about the unintended (or perhaps intentional) consequences of AI systems designed without regard for human autonomy.

AI researchers and technologists alike should consider the broader impact of their work: How easily can we create systems that inadvertently—or deliberately—disempower rather than empower? This piece offers a deep, raw look at the intersection of AI, ethics, and human agency, providing invaluable insights for those navigating the moral complexities of emerging technologies.

It's all in Broken English, and I expand the concept of functional BCIs from a previous post.
