Questioning the societal impact of technology

The introduction of technology to society brings about both losses and gains. This change is not neutral, and it raises the fundamental question of whether it makes society better. Two key questions arise: Are there good uses for AI, and will AI make society better? Often, people focus on technology as a solution without considering its impact on society. It's crucial to evaluate if a technology contributes to a better society. The Amish exemplify a community that carefully evaluates if a technology aligns with their values. When assessing technologies like the internet or cell phones, it's essential to consider their impact on a smaller scale, such as a town, to better understand their societal implications.
