While the
world obsesses over conflicts in Europe and the Middle East and President Trump
unleashes an unprecedented global trade war over tariffs, AI or Artificial
Intelligence is quietly reshaping the way businesses and organisations around
the world conduct their affairs.
AI is
slowly and inexorably stepping in to replace humans in carrying out not just
routine functions that they are expected to perform in their jobs, but
increasingly very complex tasks requiring critical thinking ability as well.
Very soon, AI will be able to take autonomous decisions without consulting
humans.
The question
is no longer, whether such a scenario will unfold, but when. Are we ready for
such a fundamental change in the relationship between AI and human beings in
terms of how it will change the way that we understand and live our lives? With
more and more businesses adopting AI, especially in advanced economies like the
US, there is a real possibility of a decline in both wages and availability of
jobs. In fact, AI is expected to contribute 21% of US GDP by 2030.[1]
The way AI
is progressing will upend the military, geo-strategic, economic and financial
power structures of the world in the very near future. Nations that are able to
leverage the gargantuan power of AI first will lord it over the rest of the
world. The on-going tariff war between the US and China is but a precursor to
the great AI race that has already begun between the two behemoths. The rest of
the world does not have a clue about what is to come and live under the
mistaken illusion that things will continue like before. Nothing can be further
from the truth. Mankind stands on the cusp of a new world order, which will be
dictated by AI and those humans who control or collaborate with it (hopefully).
