Why Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence When Our Own Natural Intelligence is Proven to Be More Dangerous? Artificial Intelligence (AI) often evokes fear and skepticism, with concerns about its potential to surpass human control and cause harm. However, a closer examination reveals that our own natural intelligence, particularly in the realm of engineering and technology, has already proven to be significantly dangerous to humanity. This essay explores the paradox of fearing AI while our own creations, designed by highly qualified engineers and technologists, have led to critical issues in transportation systems, resulting in numerous fatalities, injuries, and environmental damage. The Perils of Human-Engineered Transportation Systems Every year, approximately 1.5 million people die and about 50 million suffer grievous injuries due to transportation-related incidents¹. These staggering numbers highlight the inherent dangers in our current transportation systems, which are p...
