AI technology is rapidly evolving and is set to automate numerous tasks, fundamentally changing invention, creativity, and productivity. This democratization of tools allows anyone to produce high-quality outputs, previously limited to specialized elites. However, this disruption has led to polarization, with strong opinions on both sides—unconditional advocates of AI hype versus those who reject it. The middle voices advocating for a balanced, human-centered approach often get drowned out in the prevailing noise of fear and excitement.
We are witnessing in real time how AI is quickly democratising what before was considered the work of a well-formed elite in multiple areas of specialisation.
Polarisation is not missed in the picture. Nowadays, social networks, corporate statement releases, research papers and media outlets feel like ideological battlegrounds.
On one side, we have unconditional AI advocates fuelling the existing hype. On the other hand, those who totally or partially reject the emergence of Generative AI.
Somewhere in between, the voices aiming for the underrated middle ground of embracing the technology while keeping a human-centred approach get lost in the noise of fear, excitement, and greed.
