Job loss & Automation
It is estimated that around 85 million people could lose their jobs to artificial intelligence by the end of 2025. I will always support humanity over artificial intelligence“AI” created by humans. Those at risk of losing their jobs must stand up against the unchecked use of AI, as many companies prioritize profits for their CEOs over the livelihoods of millions of families. These families are left wondering what their next job will be, hoping that AI doesn’t take it. AI is a creation of humans, yet it has grown into a force that cannot simply be destroyed. In May 2023, Geoffrey Hinton expressed his fear that AI could eventually surpass human intelligence and take control. The risk of AI dominance only increases over time. People should stand up if they want to preserve humanity. While AI may not be fully eliminable, there are strategies to slow its expansion and ensure that humans remain in control of their own future.
People use AI to benefit them in school or college classes
A staggering 80%–90% of college students and around 70% of high school students use artificial intelligence (AI). With its rapid rise, one must ask: how many students are genuinely learning? It is far too easy to rely on AI to write essays, complete homework, or even cheat on tests. How can we be sure that students are developing the skills they need to succeed academically and professionally? Many students even use AI to craft their college applications while others spend countless hours refining their essays. According to one article, 1 in 3 students use AI for college assignments. As students enter demanding degree programs, over reliance on AI leaves them unprepared. In fact, statistics show that more than 53% of college students feel “very unprepared” for their studies because they depend on AI to do their work. Consider the real-world consequences: a doctor who relied on AI throughout school may not know how to perform critical procedures, such as opening heart arteries. If a patient dies, the blame falls on the human, not AI. Similarly, a lawyer who relied on AI for all of college may be unprepared for their first courtroom case. If assigned a client facing a severe sentence, the lawyer may have no real knowledge to rely on and might turn to AI for guidance in critical moments. If we continue to overuse AI, we risk producing professionals who lack the skills and judgment necessary to handle real-life challenges. Students must take responsibility for their own learning, because no artificial intelligence can replace human knowledge, experience, and critical thinking.
