One of the most pressing concerns many share is the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on our future, especially when it comes to jobs, critical thinking in education, and the economy.
One of the biggest fears is job displacement. As AI becomes more capable of performing tasks faster and more accurately than humans, industries from manufacturing to marketing and technology have been reducing the number of employees in their workforce. In 2025, thousands of people are facing layoffs while their companies find ways to automate their processes.
Equally concerning is the potential decline in critical thinking and soft skills. As AI tools write emails, summarize articles, and solve complex problems, there’s a risk that people may become overly reliant on machines.
Yet, it’s not all bleak. AI is also opening doors to incredible opportunities. Businesses can work more efficiently and compete effectively with those in similar industries. People are able to work faster, instead of spending time on repetitive tasks.
The key is balance. We need to prepare the workforce for an AI-driven world—through education, upskilling, and a renewed focus on human-centric skills like empathy, leadership, and problem-solving. If we embrace AI as a tool, we can shape a future where technology enhances our lives.
The future is uncertain, but with thoughtful adaptation, it can be bright.

I think the future is bright. When computerisation was done in banks, trade unions feared a massive layoff. Nothing happened. AI too will not displace, but substitute by creating other positions like those of AI trainers or AI planners.

We’ve adapted to new technologies countless times, I don’t see a reason why it would be different with AI.
