What they reflect is an issue that is very much of the present day: humanity itself is in play as these technologies advance. Society must make considered choices now to best shape the nature and value of our humanness in this new, algorithmic age. </p><p id="text_c629d7158c52469281818d76549818ab" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Or not. While some posit that the growing discussions around <a href="http://standards.ieee.org/develop/indconn/ec/autonomous_systems.html" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">AI ethics</a> may hinder innovation, others recognize the myriad ways that design favoring the &quot;move fast and break things&quot; model de facto prioritizes market-driven incentives over human well-being. Turner exists in a society guided by our existing consumer-centric model, valuing people primarily by what they purchase. Like any technology, AI is not to blame here. It has been designed based on the values we deem most significant. In Turner&#39;s case, when he can&#39;t increase the bottom line, he&#39;s invited to take his leave. </p><p id="text_c7a66c0be1024ee0ac59169735f3a395" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Christine lives in a dramatically different reality that is based on the informed and genuine consent she utilizes with her support network to boost her physical and mental health. Algorithmic personalization and brand affinity haven&#39;t disappeared with control of data intact. Quite the opposite: AI functionality and value will be improved when we can correct errors about our information, and we&#39;ll be happy to provide more details about our lives when we&#39;re provided trusted channels to share, in ways we can actually administer. </p><p id="text_ba80f0c1b0de4352bb324d5f22a5715d" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">So, how do we avoid a Turner-style future?

But growth defined by speed alone risks prioritizing profit over purpose. Bobby Kennedy&#39;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77IdKFqXbUY" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">&quot;beyond GDP&quot; speech</a> pointed out fifty years ago that what society doesn&#39;t measure isn&#39;t valued. People have been trained to consider their data something like pocket change, giving it away without recognizing it as the core currency of their identity. (Perhaps the Cambridge Analytica scandal will prove useful in changing that).  </p><p id="text_aa1cbf34701c4604893d72f837b86d9d" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">This devaluation of consent is one of today&#39;s most ubiquitous examples of human reductionism, where our agency over access to personal data is removed, even as that data is shaping how our identity is manifested to the world. I first learned this term from Joi Ito&#39;s seminal article, &quot;<a href="https://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/resisting-reduction" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">Resisting Reduction: A Manifesto</a>,&quot; which warns of the risks that artificial intelligence poses for society if we allow it to make all of our decisions. He notes that many of the experts building AI systems believe our minds are essentially computers, or &quot;wetware&quot; – a notion of <a href="https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computational-mind/" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">computationalism</a> that ignores the possibility of a spiritual realm or the benefits of systems thinking that is inclusive of the surrounding environment.   </p><p id="text_36a050af3ba04931ac7b3decd0b0ab88" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">In Turner&#39;s case, human reductionism meets the subject of <a href="https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs10506-017-9214-9.pdf" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">AI personhood</a>, or robot rights. He lives in a world where all electronic devices and systems are attributed the same legal rights as humans. This is a complex issue that recently garnered mainstream attention when Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/30/16552006/robot-rights-citizenship-saudi-arabia-sophia" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">Sophia, the robot</a>. While the legal notion of &quot;personhood&quot; as it applies to corporations has existed for decades, the introduction of a human-looking (or sounding) device into the mix distracts us from the pressing need to assign responsibility for actions taken by artificial intelligence (in any form – algorithmic, systems-level, or robotic). Should Voice or Mirror have been held accountable for pushing Turner over the edge? Possibly. But when humans are <a href="http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/tesla-crash-autopilot/" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">unjustly blamed</a> in conjunction with nascent AI technologies, dangerous precedents become embedded in code.   </p><p id="text_a0622aecfe054bb18fcd73877441e38f" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Beyond actual legal or safety protections, the reductionist narrative may deepen to the point where people address all objects as individuals, as Turner does. Where the behavior is a faith-based or culturally-driven practice (as in the Shinto tradition, where objects are seen as endowed with a <a href="http://www.roboethics.org/icra2007/contributions/KITANO%20Animism%20Rinri%20Modernization%20the%20Base%20of%20Japanese%20Robo.pdf" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">spirit harmonizing with its owner</a>), this is an individual&#39;s choice to make. But a future in which robots are afforded the same rights as humans won&#39;t be equitable if they can access our data and analyze our behavior, as devices already do today.  </p><p id="text_269fca74f5fd4f7c9db0811fad6de7cf" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Fortunately, the burgeoning field of <a href="https://www.inverse.com/article/28232-ieee-ron-arkin-robotic-nudging-q-a" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">robotic nudging</a> provides a precedent for clear demarcation between assistance and manipulation in AI technologies. Whereas Turner succumbs to harmful, manipulative techniques based on existing behavioral and advertising practices extrapolated into the future, Christine benefits from a pre-approved, consent-based model of intervention. Whatever the possibility of AI becoming sentient, we won&#39;t trust it when it&#39;s designed to drive surveillance capitalism and not genuine connection.  </p><figure id="image_069c994bc9184ec79d0b6310ebc3cbd8" class="Block ImageBlock -size--medium -position--center">

Where these connections are blocked or hindered, our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is diminished.

According to the World Health Organization, <a href="http://www.who.int/mental_health/management/depression/en/" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">depression</a> is the leading cause of ill health worldwide. &quot;More than 300 million people are now living with depression, an increase of more than 18% between 2005 and 2015,&quot; the WHO reports, also noting that suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-to-29-year-olds globally.</p><p id="text_f213bcfdd35d4283bdec5c37c3ae6209" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Artificial intelligence is not a direct cause of depression, but society should take a hard look at the risk that applications of these technologies could worsen the trend. Where AI-fueled automation <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/conversation-mental-health-we-need-have-regarding-jobs-john-c-havens/" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">accelerates job loss</a>, for example, the shame that follows will increase human isolation.

For senior citizens or anyone isolated from personal contact, I welcome the possibility of benefiting from feelings of computerized connectivity versus suffering alone. Numerous organizations are already working to harness the benefits of affective computing, and <a href="https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21612114-virtual-shrink-may-sometimes-be-better-real-thing-computer-will-see" data-external="true" class="Annotation -link">virtual, AI-enabled therapy</a> may help soldiers better recover from PTSD.

If we continue to prioritize shareholder-maximized growth, we need to acknowledge the reality that there is no business imperative to keep humans in jobs once their skills and attributes can be replaced by machines – and like Turner, once people can&#39;t work and consume, they&#39;re of no value to society at all.  </p><p id="text_67581bae4c214cb8a7757ef7ddf5e539" class="Block TextBlock -role--paragraph -align--left">Genuine prosperity means prioritizing people and planet at the same level as financial profit.
