FORGETTING THE INBUILT AUTOMATION — AND BECOMING A

SLAVE TO ARTIFICIAL AUTOMATION! Are We Becoming More

Intelligent with Technology — Or More Dependent on It? A friend who

seemed increasingly dependent on his health-tracking watch made Dr.

Abhishek Gilara ask an alarming question: Have human beings become

so fascinated by artificial intelligence, gadgets and machines that we are

gradually forgetting the extraordinary abilities already built within us?

Our hearts beat without digital instructions, our bodies possess complex

systems that regulate essential functions, our brains can learn, reason and

create, our muscles respond to training, and our senses help us understand

the world.

Yet we increasingly purchase machines to remind us to move, applications to monitor our sleep, gadgets

to interpret our bodies and artificial intelligence systems to make decisions. Are these inventions making

us healthier and more capable, or are we sometimes becoming unnecessarily dependent on them?

Inspired by a friend’s relationship with his health-monitoring device and an unforgettable imagined conversation

with a dog seller, Dr. Abhishek Gilara takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through

eleven chapters examining the growing relationship between natural intelligence and artificial automation.

Drawing upon personal experiences, business leadership, fitness discipline, spiritual reflection and

scientific research, he explores how technology influences our thinking, health, habits, relationships and

independence. This is not a book against technology; it is a book against blind dependency. It challenges

readers to distinguish genuine progress from unnecessary convenience, scientific benefit from marketing

influence, and useful assistance from the gradual surrender of human judgement. Above all, it offers a

powerful message to the next generation: use artificial intelligence, but never stop exercising your own

intelligence; use health technology, but never forget to practise healthy habits; use machines to improve

your life, but never allow them to become your masters. Because the greatest automation is not always

something you purchase. Much of it is already working within you. And the greatest responsibility you

must never outsource is the responsibility to live wisely.
