The article, a review of Mark Duggan and Christoph Leib's The Naked Human, examines the radical shift in the relationship between humans and the self in the digital age.
In his article, Major General Dr. Saad Maan Al-Moussawi, head of the Security Media Cell, explains how digitalization is no longer just an innocent tool, but has become a new power structure, exercising its dominance over humans through algorithms that learn, persuade, and change.
He explains that humans have become exposed and vulnerable, as their daily details have been transformed into data to be exploited in a new economy based on exploiting the same behavior. He warns of the tyranny of technology when it is divorced from accountability, noting that the conflict today is between humans and algorithms that know them better than they know themselves. He calls on the reader to reclaim their consciousness and freedom in the face of this digital reality.
