The AI Threat: Navigating Progress in a World Transformed by Intelligence
Between 2023 and 2025, artificial intelligence leapt from the fringes of innovation into the centre of global infrastructure-redefining work, creativity, governance, and human interaction. As generative models create art, write code, diagnose disease, and influence political discourse, society stands at a crossroads: Will AI amplify our highest potential, or accelerate inequality, surveillance, and misinformation?
In The AI Threat, this timely and comprehensive study examines the unprecedented pace of AI development and its sweeping implications across economic, ethical, and cultural domains. From algorithmic bias and job disruption to the rise of deepfakes and global governance challenges, this work explores the paradox at the heart of the AI revolution-an extraordinary tool that offers both progress and peril.
Blending historical insight with forward-looking policy analysis, this book calls for inclusive innovation, agile regulation, and reinvestment in human values. For policymakers, technologists, educators, and engaged citizens alike, The AI Threat is a roadmap to a future where technology serves humanity-not the other way around.
