According to legend, to protect the Jewish community of Prague, Rabbi Judah Loew created a creature from clay known as the Golem. He brought it to life using mystical formulas and inscribed the Hebrew word "emet," meaning "truth," on its forehead. By removing the first letter, the word became "met," meaning "death," causing the creature to return to its inanimate state. The Golem, though powerful, was mute and lacked discernment or a soul, making it potentially dangerous. This story has been revisited in discussions about the development of artificial intelligence (AI), which, like the Golem, possesses formidable power but lacks moral consciousness. In some cases, AI may pursue the goals set by its creators through unexpected methods, even if those methods involve deception or cheating. AI is advancing at a pace that outstrips the ability of human institutions to regulate it effectively. Some experts have suggested there is a 10% risk that AI could lead to the destruction of humanity, though this estimate is not grounded in scientific consensus and is strongly disputed by others. The real concern may be that, unlike the Golem, AI can communicate. As Mathieu Roger-Lacan writes in Le Grand Continent, "for the first time in history, language can be produced by no person, by something other than a person." This raises important questions: How can one be certain of the origin of a text generated by AI? And where is the truth, when for AI, truth holds no intrinsic value—just as good and evil do not? These concerns have led many to call for international regulation of AI to ensure its development is ethical and controlled. However, the intense competition between the United States and China complicates such efforts, as both nations seek to lead in the AI race. The challenge now is whether humanity, like Rabbi Loew, can find a way to reach the "forehead" of this modern Golem—meaning, to understand and control the powerful forces it represents.
