AI technology won’t destroy jobs, it will create new ones

OUR panic about AI is without foundation.

- YUMNA ZAHID ALI | Karachi, Pakistan

People love to panic. Every time something new is invented, someone screams, “Oh my God...This will destroy everything!” And now, that loud scream has a new name - artificial intelligence.

Everywhere you go, people say machines will take over all the jobs, all the creativity, all the power. But here's the truth: machines don't destroy humanity...laziness does. Fear does. The refusal to adapt does.

Let’s rewind a bit. When electricity replaced candles, candle makers cried because they believed their craft was being erased overnight. But that same change created something far bigger: electricians, light bulb manufacturers, electrical engineers, power plant workers, and lighting designers.

The world moved from wax and wicks to wires and switches. One job vanished, but a whole new industry was born.
