According to Rambam, during the time of the Redemption, the sole occupation of humanity will be the knowledge of the Almighty. This applies to all people — not only Jews but all nations of the world, as noted by the Rebbe, King Moshiach.
In the past, it was difficult to grasp this concept. If everyone is engaged in understanding the Almighty, then who will work, build, and prepare food? After all, we live in a material world.
However, now, with the development of artificial intelligence, it is becoming clear: the day is not far off when robots will handle all these tasks. Then, indeed, all nations will be able to devote themselves to comprehending the Almighty.
One might ask: who will develop the next generations of robots, processors, and computers? Who will program them?
The answer: the robots and artificial intelligence themselves!
Here, I provide a link to a fascinating article by Yohai Schwigger on the TECHTIME website. It describes how researchers tasked artificial intelligence with designing a new microchip for cellular communication.
The results were remarkable! First, artificial intelligence completed the task in just a few minutes, whereas human engineers would have needed weeks. It required no days off, no salary... Second, AI created more complex and advanced circuits — so original that the engineers could not even understand how it had done so!
The scientist who initiated this experiment stated: „This research allows us to look to the future with optimism. AI not only saves time but also opens up previously unknown possibilities for microchip programming and the creation of multifunctional devices beyond human comprehension. And this is just the beginning.“
Mark Zuckerberg, a Jew who founded Facebook and acquired WhatsApp, is already planning to implement AI in his companies this year to replace mid-level developers! If this trend continues, artificial intelligence may soon be managing enterprises...
Is this frightening? Will AI enslave humanity? Absolutely not! Why not? Because this is one of the stages of Redemption. Robots and artificial intelligence will increasingly take on roles in our lives so that we can focus on knowing the Almighty.
Of course, AI must be regulated, and scientists are working on this. But we must understand a fundamental principle: in the era of Redemption, the entire world — whether inanimate, plant, or animal — will fully support the holy people of Israel and completely, openly fulfill the will of the Creator. As the sages say, if someone attempts to pluck a fruit from a tree on Shabbat, the tree will cry out, forbidding them from doing so.
Robots and artificial intelligence are also part of this perfected world of Redemption. Consequently, they will be entirely subordinate to the Jewish people, as well as to the nations of the world, who will also fulfill the will of the Almighty and come to the Temple, as stated in the Prophets. Naturally, they will not enslave or harm us.
In short, there is no need to fear robots. They will serve us, program and develop themselves, and the more we advance spiritually, the more the entire world will assist us in this.
By the way, this is already relevant today. The more we strive to fulfill the will of the Creator, the more divinity is revealed within us, and the clearer the true purpose of creation becomes — to be a dwelling place for the Almighty. The future is almost upon us, and may G-d grant that we witness it right now with the true and complete Redemption.
