"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"
A rapidly evolving wave of generative AI is automating numerous tasks and challenging core aspects of invention, creativity, and productivity. The technology is lowering barriers to production, enabling wide access to tools that previously belonged to specialised elites, and improving output across media, prototypes, and products. The emergence of this capability has generated sharp polarization across social platforms, corporations, research, and media, with fervent advocates and outright rejectors. Moderate voices that promote a human-centred, cautious embrace of the technology struggle to be heard amid fear, excitement, and commercial incentives.
