Generative AI has resurged as a rapidly evolving technology predicted to automate many tasks and alter foundations of invention, creativity, and productivity. AI is democratising previously elite skills across multiple specialisations, enabling anyone to produce higher-quality outputs for films, images, prototypes, and products. The breakthrough has created polarization: social networks, corporate statements, research papers, and media outlets have become ideological battlegrounds between unconditional advocates and outright rejectors of Generative AI. A centrist approach that embraces the technology while prioritising human-centred values risks being drowned out amid fear, excitement, and greed. Public discourse accuses moderate voices of being either too conservative or insufficiently critical.
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
