Malta will be capable of discussing the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia maturely and in its proper context in roughly 200 years, a new study has shown.
The study was carried out by Professor Imona Jetski at the American University of Malta.
“According to my calculations, the majority of the Maltese population will be able to discuss the brutal assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia without the need to resort to blind, visceral hatred or blind cult worship around about the year 2219,” Prof Jetski told Bis-Serjetà.
Prof Jetski said her prediction was based on the assumption that, by that time, all important decisions affecting the human race would be made by advanced artificial intelligence systems.
“It’s highly unlikely that our future robot overlords will allow people to make ridiculous comments on Facebook asking what happened to Daphne’s laptop, get angry at flowers placed at a memorial, or whitewash her more tabloid tendencies.
“Instead, they’ll calmly explain to people that Caruana Galizia’s murder was a stain on the nation that should have brought about fundamental changes to society but didn’t because most people were too brainwashed, uneducated and tribal to make that happen.”
Prof. Jetski added that, despite this newfound AI-inspired enlightenment, the case would probably not be solved, even in two centuries’ time.
“All my calculations suggest that one or more people will soon be jailed for her murder, but they will say they were framed and no one will accept the ending because it clashes with their own personal reality.
“Still, at least the robots will have all the trolls executed.”
