Create music, produce art, or even become online idols, Artificial Intelligence (AI) programmes may perform tasks that are unimaginable to humans. However, technology is not the only factor in how society develops.
The greatest cutting-edge technology is always human intelligence
The introduction of the loom, the sewing machine, and the opening of the first Industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries completely transformed the textile industry, which had hitherto only relied on human labour.
However, over the years, the best designers have continued to use the flawless handcrafted design process to produce Haute Couture designs, the benchmark of high-end tailoring that frequently appears in Chanel, Hermes, etc. Thus, Haute Couture is more expensive and valuable than clothing that is mass-produced using industrial machinery.
There are worries that technology will eventually replace people as a result of the development of AI, particularly the current expansion of ChatGPT. However, if you take a look at the history of human progress, you will see that no matter how sophisticated a machine is, it will always lag behind the human mind.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’ view of the history of human progress demonstrates that man did not create the ability to elevate work from physical to intellectual labour, any assistance stems from a person’s need for clothing, food, and shelter. People must discover ways to overcome nature as this requirement grows to boost labour productivity and production efficiency. It is the process of creating and renewing production tools.

In actuality, humanity advanced from the Stone Age with crude tools used only for hunting and gathering through the Bronze Age to support agricultural production, and finally the invention of machines. the technological age continues now. It is claimed that all revolutions, including the 4.0 revolution, are fundamentally distinct from one another because super technologies that are capable of feats beyond human comprehension are created.
Therefore, humans will replace that equipment and technologies if they are unable to suit their needs in the future, not AI, robots, or any other technology.
No technology can replace emotions
Social relationships are created through human interaction, which has an impact not on technology but on the growth of people, companies, and ultimately the country.
Humans cannot yet be fully replaced by technology. Sophia, the first robot in the world to receive a citizen license, can answer questions fluently and with 50 different facial expressions, but she is still just a “speaking machine” and cannot evoke strong feelings in the audience the way Nick Vujicic or Michelle Yeoh can when they perform motivational speeches or sing like Michael Jackson.
Despite merely needing a few hours to create a painting that costs millions of dollars, artificial intelligence cannot satisfy collectors’ hunger like Leonardo’s paintings can, Picasso or da Vinci.
The care, love, and education of parents cannot be replaced by technology, but it may improve how children play, learn, and are cared for. Sometimes, a subject’s teacher rather than the subject itself might pique a student’s interest or hatred in it.
Even technology’s negative aspects have negative effects on the physical and mental health of people. When everything is easily searchable on Google, as it is now with ChatGPT, technology might limit creativity.
When the home is equipped with smart technologies to assist, people are less active. Children become so engrossed in games and online applications on their phones and laptops that they neglect to engage with their peers and parents.

AI only scares you when you allow it
Social relationships are fundamentally based on the sharing of spiritual values. This engagement not only helps people or organisations grow, but it also advances the political and economic health of the nation.
It is challenging to create an organisation under the leadership of a boss who excels in his or her field but struggles to forge strong bonds with partners and staff. It is challenging to persuade clients to purchase from a company that offers quality goods and services but uses advertising and communication methods that fail to appeal to their emotions. Without maintaining social ties with other nations in the area and around the world, it is challenging for a nation to thrive.
Although it can support greater social interactions, technology cannot replace spiritual qualities. While the phone can minimise both physical and temporal distances, replacing handwritten letters, it is the emotions of the two individuals on the other end of the line that provides significance to the exchange. Modern lighting technology does not cause armed wars; rather, disputes about relationships between organisations and nations do.
Consequently, Vietnam’s perspective during the past 90 years has likewise been one of placing people at the heart of development, which is both a goal and a crucial driving force of growth. Additionally, educating the populace should be a key priority because they will be the ones to decide how to advance technology and employ it to further the socioeconomic growth of the nation.
