When Machines Learn to Think Better Than We Do
Picture a world where your job vanishes overnight-not because you made a mistake, but because a machine learned to do it better. This isn't a distant dystopian fantasy. Within the next two decades, artificial intelligence may render most human labor economically obsolete, creating what economists call the "economic singularity"-a point where the rules governing work, wealth, and human purpose fundamentally break down. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking have all sounded alarms about this transformation. Yet most of us continue as if nothing will change, like passengers on the Titanic debating dinner plans after hitting the iceberg. The question isn't whether this transformation will happen, but whether we'll prepare for it in time. Humans have been automating work since the first water wheel turned grain into flour, but today's artificial intelligence doesn't just replace our physical labor-it's coming for our minds. When machines can think, learn, and make decisions better than we can, where exactly do we retreat to on the economic ladder?
