Until yesterday, I was concerned about how the reading culture is slowly disappearing ,how people increasingly prefer reels, shorts, and fleeting snippets of content over books and deep reflection. But today, I find myself staring at an altogether different risk: the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence.

Are you also scared of Artificial Intelligence? You’re not alone. What was once just a buzzword has now become a reality and it is advancing at a pace so rapid that it feels like it’s not only coming after almost everyone’s job but posing a threat to human existence.

Sometimes I wonder: how will this world look in a few years? It almost feels theatrical, like a stage where human beings, for centuries, played the role of merciless actors. We introduced technologies and systems without mercy, extracted resources without pause, and damaged Mother Earth to the point of near irrecoverable harm.

And yet, after all this destruction, do we even pause for a moment of realisation? Or worse ,do we still dare to call climate change or global warming a hoax? That denial feels like the height of audacity.

When I think of Earth, I often picture her as a patient mother, quietly watching her children take advantage of her kindness. We have taken her for granted, over and over again. But perhaps, just like our real mothers, she is still proud of us. Proud that we, her children, have evolved into such intelligent beings that we are capable of creating super-intelligence something as powerful and transformative as Artificial Intelligence. And yet, the irony remains: we’ve built it without truly understanding its long-term consequences.

So, what lies ahead for us? Will we step into a new, technologically advanced world ;one that enhances life and uplifts humanity? Or will we find ourselves in chaos, in situations resembling Sci- Fi movies where AI is taking over the world and hold a capability to obliterate human beings from earth?

The answer, perhaps, depends not on Artificial Intelligence itself, but on us. On whether we choose greed over wisdom, recklessness over responsibility, and short-term gain over foresight once again, just like we did it every other time.

Because in the end, AI is not just a tool ,it’s a mirror, reflecting back the choices we make as a species.

What do you think ? Is AI the beginning of humanity’s golden age, or the start of its downfall? 🧐
