4. Reading: AI — Our Greatest Tool or Our Greatest Threat?
Artificial intelligence is changing the world at unprecedented speed. Diseases are being diagnosed more accurately than ever before. Scientific research is being accelerated by algorithms that can process billions of data points in seconds. Autonomous vehicles have already been tested on public roads in dozens of countries.
Yet the risks cannot be ignored. Millions of jobs will be replaced by automation within the next decade. Personal data is being collected and sold without users' full understanding. Deep fakes — videos generated by AI — are being used to spread misinformation.
Responsible regulation is urgently needed. AI systems should be governed by clear ethical guidelines. Transparency must be required from technology companies. Citizens need to be educated about digital literacy. Technology is neither inherently good nor bad — it depends entirely on how it is used.
