The digital revolution, characterized by unprecedented data volumes, processing power, and Artificial Intelligence, has brought us to a critical juncture where decisions about our future must be made. As society moves towards automation, we face two distinct paths: a centralized, top-down control model or a distributed approach that fosters local self-organization. Current trends suggest that entities like governments and companies such as Google are leaning towards the former, potentially aiming to create a "digital God" that governs our actions. With billions spent on forecasting and controlling our world, and with data production now exceeding all of human history, the question arises: can we leverage this abundance to create a better society? This data-driven paradigm could lead to the development of tools akin to a "crystal ball" for predicting the future or a "magic wand" for effective governance. The digital revolution may empower a "wise king" or "benevolent dictator" through AI, but we must consider whether large-scale surveillance is necessary to manage our complex systems or if it leads us toward a totalitarian nightmare. The choices we make now will shape the future landscape of our societies.
