Summary
The article examines how artificial intelligence and digital algorithms are already deeply manipulating and regulating our daily lives, often without our awareness. It argues that while people believe they have time to prepare for AI's impact, the reality is that algorithmic control is already pervasive, shaping our 'free' choices and knowing us better than we know ourselves. The piece explores the philosophical and societal implications of living in a digital environment where human agency is increasingly constrained by invisible algorithmic forces.
