5 Killer Habits: Be a Rebel is a self-help book by Sree Krishna Seelam, who is also the founder of an NGO called WeDidIt. Most of his books are available online as a free ebook—the digital platforms play a big role in the distribution of intent in the digital age.
Correlation as per the chapter titles in the book:
Arise, Awake & Kickass
Key Takeaway: The brain functions better in the early morning, and establishing discipline through time management optimizes mental output.
Connection with AI:
AI optimises productivity: Just as people can optimise their productivity by managing their time effectively, AI systems can also be programmed to work efficiently. Algorithms can be optimised to run during break hours or during off-time to utilize computing resources more effectively, creating a more efficient process.
Be A Hero
Key Takeaway: Volunteering fosters spiritual satisfaction and spreads joy through a humanistic approach to life
Connection with AI:
AI is purpose-driven: AI applications are designed to minimise the load on the human workers; anything that a person can do in a few hours, AI can do in a few minutes. Its purpose is to create less stress for its users. AI technologies also focus on social good—like healthcare solutions, educational tools, and platforms supporting volunteers, thus fostering a sense of community and purpose.
Become A Dromomaniac
Key Takeaway: Solo trips cultivate physical and mental independence along with valuable cultural exchange.
Connection with AI:
AI can personalise: AI can suggest travel experiences, recommend destinations based on independent preferences and cultural interests. And AI translators are a life-saviour in a foreign land where there’s a language barrier. This further facilitates a better cultural exchange.
Live A Hundred Lives
Key Takeaway: Reading helps a person develop critical thinking and is the food for thought.
Connection with AI:
Analyzing data: Just as the purpose of reading is to analyse it for something, AI can analyse large datasets to identify trends in human behavior, which further helps societies understand differences in culture and reduce polarization. Since prompt analysis is a key feature, AI can enhance learning by providing access to relevant resources in a field as per requests, thus improving knowledge.
Stay Curious
Key Takeaway: Asking “why”; questions must be targeted at the intentions, not the actions.
Connection with AI:
Increases credibility: Encouraging a culture of questioning in AI development leads to more responsible and ethical AI systems. By investigating the intent behind actions taken by AI we can improve system transparency. The increase in content being stolen from artists is raising questions behind the intent and usage of AI.
