THE world is on the cusp of a revolution that could rival, if not surpass, the industrial revolution in its scale and impact: artificial intelligence (AI). While it may sound idealistic, even utopian, the rise of AI presents a unique opportunity to reshape human society in ways we have never imagined.

Once the genie is out of the bottle, there will be no going back. It’s time to consider what kind of relationship we want to have with AI and how we can ensure it benefits all of humanity, not just the powerful few.

For centuries, humanity has been driven by the pursuit of power, wealth, and dominance. We have created systems of inequality, built on the subjugation of the lower and middle classes, all under the guise of economic progress.
