The Proof: A hundred years ago, cars were essentially advanced robots powered by the Artificial Intelligence of the day, which was based on the Intelligence of combustion engines. These robots managed when to spark, ignite, consume energy, and make the wheels turn. With a driver’s assistance, this evolution of mobility has brought us to a critical crossroads.
Half the world is now confused about Artificial Intelligence, wielding smartphones—arguably the most potent and affordable robotic devices ever created. Meanwhile, we are surrounded by various forms of audiovisual and augmented reality technology that provide us with real-time human intelligence-type experiences.
Despite these advancements, many of us are fearful. We have become somewhat brainwashed and mesmerized by platforms like TikTok, which shape our perception of time and tempo. As a result, we nervously anticipate the arrival of artificial Intelligence, worrying that it will take our jobs, control our lives, steal our finances, remove our children, and even run away with our loved ones while lurking in the shadows of our dimly lit rooms.
Artificial Intelligence is artificial ignorance, sensationalized and branded superior software engineering, and the creation of human Intelligence to create global fascination to sell better at stock markets.

The race for artificial intelligence supremacy among nations has become increasingly competitive, and the achievement of Quantum Supremacy has been greeted as a significant global milestone.
Throughout the last century, various gadgets—from forklifts to trains and even alarm clocks—have been developed to improve our daily lives, ensure we arrive on time, and boost automation. With the advancement of technology and smart algorithms, the future looks much brighter.
