Addressing the Dependency Culture: Leveraging AI for Ethical Governance and Civic Responsibility
Politicians often use freebies to lure the public into voting for them, creating a dependency culture where most of the population relies on free food, stipends, travel, and subsidies. This practice, coupled with reservations in education, services, and political seats, has led to an increasingly dependent and less self-sufficient society. Over decades, this trend has resulted in a populace accustomed to these “freebies,” leading to a decline in civic responsibility and an increase in unruly behavior, such as property damage and harassment. People receive life’s essentials without any effort. Imagine the impact if this workforce being mobilized to contribute to nation-building.
The situation is grave and increasingly witnessed in budgets and discussions in parliaments, media, and speeches outside. The solution needs a strong medicine. AI, including brain mapping, can be employed to assess individuals’ love for the nation and humanity, ethical bent of mind, honesty, and long-term vision for the country before placing them in positions of responsibility in politics, administration, and judiciary. By ensuring that only those with a genuine commitment to the nation’s welfare are entrusted with power, we can foster a more responsible and self-sufficient society.
