"We live in interesting times. At the time of writing these lines, we have witnessed the resurgence of a technology that is not new, but rapidly evolving, which is predicted to automate multiple tasks. More importantly, it is poised to shake the very foundations of human invention, creativity, and productivity. 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."
"Like with any disruptive breakthrough, 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. And somewhere in between, as often happens, 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,"
Generative AI has resurged as a rapidly evolving technology capable of automating many tasks and reshaping invention, creativity, and productivity. AI tools enable individuals to produce higher-quality outputs across films, images, prototypes, and products, eroding traditional boundaries of specialized expertise. The emergence provokes sharp polarization across social networks, corporations, research, and media, splitting unconditional advocates and outright critics. A nuanced middle ground seeks to embrace AI while preserving human-centered values, but those voices often get drowned by fear, excitement, and greed. The tension raises questions about ethics, governance, and the future role of human creativity.
