Downtime is essential for reflecting and reviewing, improvising what you already know, unlearning many things, and taking in new learnings. Such creative breaks make you venture into blue ocean thought processes and clear ambiguity While all this makes sense but learning and unlearning have no value if you don’t get to implement it and experience how in real life it works. This blog is an attempt to process the dichotomy of changing landscape of upcoming trends and its caveats.

Just in the recent past, we all have got real exposure of how AI works which earlier was open to a handful of those who can write code and get the output. Natural language processing has enabled a lot of us to talk to AI models and get our work eased out, while we are talking about the danger of AI to labour market.

Those instrumental in building this radical innovation and reiterating it’s a powerful technology that brings in exponential growth, on the flipside there is risk associated with new evolution and how it can be used for bioterrorism, cybersecurity, etc. AI does open up opportunities for receiving quality education for everyone, medical care, scientific progress, and such benefits associated with it but there are many ways it can go wrong if safety practices and global regulation is not in place.

“Through advances in genetic, robotic, information, and nanotechnologies, we are altering our minds, our memories, our metabolisms, our personalities, our progeny–and perhaps our very souls.  “

Every generation is threatened by the perceived drawbacks of new technologies, like when we first saw the impact of the internet and mobile phones in our day-to-day life. In my opinion, new technology poses threats only till the time Power is not democratized or is inequitable by design violating basic civil and human rights. Just like everything, technology also has two sides – good and bad. It’s important to be aware of this and avoid manipulation and control. We need to have a visionary outlook, an adventurous spirit, make our choices for the right reasons, stand by for opportunities, take action, and claim them as ours.
