In the early 21st century, Artificial Intelligence is still
in its infancy --- its ultimate purpose and direction unknown. Nevertheless,
people are grappling to interact with A.I. to provide guidance and insight.
This is a complex relationship.
Well over 3,000 years ago, the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt had
their own kind of “Artificial Intelligence,” but there was nothing artificial
about it. The Pharaohs used their dreams to help them with answering questions,
providing help with decisions, and showing guidance. Priests would help to
interpret the dreams. In that long ago
era, the Egyptian elite kept “dream books.” We call these books but were
actually rolls of papyri. The Pharaohs wanted and needed the dreams and priests
to help the Pharaohs acquire the best foundation for their rule.
The human mind and subconscious are a powerful means, a
secure gateway to creativity and intuitive understanding. There is nothing
“artificial” about this.
In the early 21st century, people use the power
of complex algorithms of “artificial” intelligence.
From ancient Pharaohs to “modern” people, the search for
answers and guidance is eerily similar.
