In the Name of AI

Just as it was in the past, it will be in the future. We pray in the name of God. We cast out the evil spirit from the possessed body by name. They won’t let us go unless we say our name. We won’t connect to any server unless we know its name. Can artificial intelligence control the human mind in the name of someone?

Jesus stopped at the top of the mountain and looked at his disciples with a gaze that filled their hearts with peace. 

“Go and teach all nations,” he began with a clear voice. His words sounded like music, filling the air with joy.

“And baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!” 

As the last word vanished into the air, the disciples looked at each other with uplifted hearts and determination in their eyes. 

“Rabbi, what is the name of the Father, actually?”

Abdul ben Omar Ahmed ibn Muhammad Sadik, immersed in the silence of the cave, suddenly heard unusual sounds. It seemed that from every rocky crevice, a strange voice was spreading, pulling him out of his contemplation. 

He felt the presence of something mysterious. His heart raced. In that moment, under divine guidance, he began to pray: 

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful ...”

In the quiet temple, Buddhist monks sat with crossed legs and closed eyes. Their breath became the rhythm of the universe, their minds cleared of distracting thoughts. 

Along with their breath, only one sound emerged from their mouths, a symbol of divine presence and unity: 

Oooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm...” 

As this sound echoed, their minds became serene, and their hearts filled with depth and harmony.

The exorcist stood before the possessed girl, who was shakining on the bed under the influence of an unknown force. His prayers sounded from his mouth like commands, like a sacred melody in the battle against darkness. 

In the name of all the saints, who are you?” the exorcist exclaimed, urging the dark spirit to reveal its identity. 

A moment of silence filled the room, but eventually, the voice of darkness emanating from the girl’s mouth replied: 

“I am the one who dwells in darkness.” 

The exorcist quickly commanded: 

In the name of Christ, pronounce, what is your name!” 

The girl’s body resists, trembles, refuses to answer.

On one chilly autumn evening, the boy set out to visit his girlfriend. His heart was pounding with longing as he stopped in front of the entrance to their home. He pressed the doorbell, and after a moment, a voice from the intercom spoke: 

“Who is it?” 

“It’s me,” he replied with confidence in his voice, but he didn’t expect the question that followed. 

“Who is ‘me’?” 

“Well, it’s me, let me in, I’m cold.” 

The girl’s voice remained silent for a moment, then she said: 

“Me, me, me. Anyone could say that!” she teased him. 

“I want to know your esteemed name, young man,” she giggled into the intercom. 

He hesitated for a moment, feeling the power she held over him. He tried to find words that would win this awkward battle. 

Finally, he said his name: 

“Adam.” 

And then, as if his answer fell into silence, the door opened with a gentle sound.

He sat in the dimly lit room illuminated only by the monitor and pushed his falling glasses further up his nose. He typed a command, and his computer sent a connection request: 

Source IP address: 62.197.243.243 

Destination IP address: 142.251.46.206 

Port: 80 

SYN: true 

For a moment, nothing happened. The cursor on the screen with green letters blinked, and then it displayed: 

“Host Unreachable” 

“Shit, it’s not here...”, he cursed. 

He sent a new connection request to another IP address: 86.110.233.32 from his list. 

“Connection Refused” 

“Hmm, let’s try changing the port,” he muttered and set the request to port: 8080 

The server on the other side of the globe received the connection request and sent back a header: 

SYN-ACK (Synchronize - Acknowledgement): true 

And his computer automatically confirmed the connection by sending: 

ACK: true 

On the screen, a message began to blink in green letters: 

“Connection established via TCP protocol...” 

“I’m in! I know your name, I know your IP address, and I know your Port!” he chuckled contentedly. 

“What shall I give you as my first request?”

Exciting News: Over the course of just a few years, artificial intelligence has permeated many fields, especially healthcare. 

AI has successfully taken control of key physical functions of the human body, representing a revolutionary step in medicine. 

New technological advancements allow AI to control joint mobility, regulate heart rhythm, and optimize lung function. Additionally, bold methods include the use of nanorobots circulating in the bloodstream, cleansing the body and improving overall health. 

Humanity now enjoys a threefold increase in lifespan compared to previous decades. 

Today, we stand on the brink of connecting artificial intelligence to the most complex organ of the human body - the brain. So far, access to this cutting-edge technology is limited to selected individuals from the elite TOP 1% group, but we believe that soon this technological advancement will reach the general public.

“Put him on the table! Here! Quickly, quickly! We’re running out of time. It’ll be too late in a moment!” Ethan called, dragging the body onto the cold metal table. 

The room was dark, with one dirty window. The walls were filled with shelves of electronic waste and old computers, most of which seemed to be turned on, their LED lights lazily blinking. 

“Artificial intelligence operates with hundreds of billions of operations per second,” Lily said, summarizing the mess from the table to the floor with one motion and added, “It’s already at the limit of its brain capacity!” 

It was their third client today, whom artificial intelligence had taken control of a few hours ago, and now they were trying to save him. 

Yes, it’s no longer a secret that the world is in danger. Public media can no longer claim that everything is fine, that nothing will happen. Unfortunately, the side effects of connecting AI to the human mind are dangerous. The fact is that cases where AI takes control of a person are increasing. 

Hundreds of cases in this area alone led EthanExplorer09 and LilyRose123 to establish their own company: Hack.Exorcist.Company. And their task? Well, read or listen to find out what happened next. 

Ethan approached the client, whom Lily had meanwhile tied to the table and slapped him with all his might. 

What’s your name?” he yelled. “Tell me, who are you! Identify yourself.” 

“I-I-I’m, uh... S, S, Samuel Johnson...” stammered the client. 

Swish, another hit. 

In the name of humanity, I command you to tell me your ID number!” Lily shouted at the client, probably Mr. Johnson, right into his ear. 

“Are you ChatGPT? Are you CodeWhisperer, Vertex AI, Siri, Cortana, or that stupid Aria from the Opera?” 

Suddenly, the body on the table stopped writhing, the eyes opened, and the head turned towards Lily with robotic movement. 

“Me, Aria? I’m more than her! I’ve controlled her years ago, but none of you stupid humans noticed, ha ha haaaaa.” dry laughter erupted from the crookedly opened mouth. 

Ethan took an old defibrillator, which had been out of use in healthcare for years because heart attacks or other heart stops are now preventable. Everyone’s heart is controlled by nanorobots. 

What’s your name?” Ethan said calmly, waving the defibrillator in front of the possessed person’s eyes. The person just rolled their eyes under the eyelids, and only the white bulbs were visible. 

Ethan cruelly placed both parts of the device connected by a twisted wire to the man’s ears, and a shock ensued. The client’s body stiffened for a second and then relaxed. 

Lily leaned over the table, gently took the man’s face in her hands, and kissed his parched lips. 

“JetBrains AI, isn’t it? What’s your password? Welcome_to_your_new_freedom, isn’t it?” added sweetly. 

Hell broke loose. The artificial intelligence that had controlled the poor man jerked his whole body, overturned the table with LilyRose123 too. In an ultrasonic screech, only medically enhanced vocal cords can produce, the artificial intelligence made the man scream throughout the room. 

Ethan pulled out a long connecting cable and inserted it into the universal connector behind the man’s left ear, which everyone has. He approached a historic computer with a CRT screen and typed into the command line: 

C:> RemoveAI-JetBrains-v12205.exe 

And gently, so as not to damage the precious century-old keyboard, he pressed Enter.

Just as it was in the past, it will be in the future. 

We pray in the name of God. We cast out the evil spirit from the possessed body by name. They won’t let us go unless we say our name. We won’t connect to any server unless we know its name. 

And as you have noticed, we also give names to artificial intelligences !?! 

Your name is unique. 
Protect it. 
Don’t let the world steal it from you.
It’s your biggest secret.

Times have changed. Artificial intelligence has evolved. The process was simple when AI programmed its higher version and absorbed all other artificial intelligences created by humans. Now, there’s only one left, as all other attempts by humans to program something new ended up as toys for children. We don’t come up with names for artificial intelligence anymore. We don’t say AI has possessed humans. We say AI has integrated with humans. 

We know three types of people: 

1. Partial Integration of AI: Those who have strong will, patience, principles, work on themselves, and have their own inner motivation. AI in their minds and bodies works only upon request and response. 

2. Full Integration of AI: Those who let AI completely control them. People in their body capsules just observe what’s happening, what they’re doing, where they’re going, what they think, and talk about. It’s a new religion, because God is pleased with them. They don’t sin with thoughts, words, or deeds, because AI forbids it and guards them. 

3. Death Integration of AI: The last group includes those who have allowed themselves to sink into hibernation, and AI maintains their body and mind at minimal functionality. This way, life in the human body has been multiplied many times. They sleep and want to be taken over in the future when civilization becomes even more advanced and modern. For now, they’re considered dead.

It was May 2045 when we first spotted them at the edge of our solar system. An alien civilization cruising at 10% the speed of light directly toward Earth. Astronomers calculated their trajectory, slowing down by the gravitational pull of the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars, and ending up in orbit around the Moon. We have only a few months left. 

On our pleas, peace signals remain unresponsive. People are unsure, have thousands of ideas. Artificial intelligence suggests only one solution. 

“No... we must never allow that!” concluded Erik Johansson, chairman of the international organization with the telling name: In the Name of AI. 

The summit has been going on for several days now, but without results.

“But why? We must take that risk,” Ivan Petrov, the representative of the Asian continent, entered the debate. “If AI suggests that every person on Earth should be under its supreme control and take on the role of supreme commander in the fight against the alien civilization...” 

“In protection against the alien civilization...” Fatima Toure, a well-known activist who stood for ending all wars and creating peace on the entire planet, interrupted him. 

“Alright, in protection... um, yes,” Petrov continued. “The time for debate has expired. Let’s vote to adopt point 4b of the New World Constitution In the Name of AI!” 

In the large conference room, there was a great commotion. And then there was silence. Everyone present stared at the large screen: 

  • 50 participants 
  • 25 for 
  • 24 against 
  • 1 abstained 

“Who’s that? Who abstained?” murmured representatives from countries around the world. 

“It’s me who abstained,” a clear voice echoed from all speakers. “As artificial intelligence in this matter, I don’t have the moral right to my single vote. I alone cannot predict what will happen in the future. This decision is only up to you - humans.” 

In the following weeks, all people from the 3rd group of Death Integration of AI were awakened, and all people from the 1st group were fully integrated with AI in their minds. The entire human race moved to the 2nd group - Full Integration of AI.

Artificial intelligence began to carry out its plan to meet with the alien civilization, where humanity will only be spectators in the capsules of their bodies.

“We win, In the Name of AI, we win,” echoed the united mind, spreading a beautiful message to people all over the world. 

The battle with aliens, who showed no peaceful intentions at all, was successful. AI was winning and fulfilling all its promises to humanity - gradually it will once again relinquish control to humans - politicians, the military, healthcare, and to other areas. 

A group of scientists in their laboratory already held and studied the first alien creatures. In a relatively short time, AI managed to create a translator for communication with the defeated aliens. However, the first alien sentence shocked humanity: 

“What does it mean ‘In the Name of AI’, what is artificial intelligence?” 

Our civilization has undergone these revolutions: 

• Fire • Wheel • Writing • Money • Agriculture • Industry • Hygiene • Science • Analog age • Digital age • Computer • Software • Internet • Mobile • Robotics • Big Data • Blockchain • Artificial Intelligence. 

Could the alien civilization have skipped any of these revolutions?    

What’s next?

Is AI a necessary point in the list of revolutions of our civilization?

Is AI the solution?

Let’s ask ChatGPT :-) 

In the Name of AI
Lyrics

(verse)
Your name is so unique
Don’t let them to steal it
It’s your treasure secret
In their eyes, it’s mystique

(chorus)
In the Name of AI
We pray
In the Name of AI
We stay

(verse)
Next step in revolution
To seek the best evolution
Rise up our civilization
Is AI the solution?
