Great read, Benjamin! Your insights on AI and industrial transformation really resonate with me. It reminds me of how people once debated tractors as a threat to humanity, yet today we’ve forgotten how to use a hoe, and the world hasn't ended — we just evolved.
​I completely agree that risks exist, but aren't we setting ourselves up for them? In today’s world, you can’t even use basic services without leaving a digital footprint. We voluntarily (or forced by circumstances) produce so much 'digital trash' that the real risk might not be the AI itself, but how much of our privacy we’ve already surrendered just to stay connected. Looking forward to more of your work!

Thank you! You made an excellent point. I agree with you completely 100% concerning privacy. I think that we need to create more policies to govern AI today. Our society is evolving with new form of technology everyday.
