AI vs Human Intelligence: Who Will Lead the Future?
Artificial intelligence and human intelligence are often presented as rivals, but the reality is more complex. AI has advanced quickly in pattern recognition, text generation, image analysis, forecasting, automation, and decision support, and it is increasingly used in real products and workflows. At the same time, governments and standards bodies continue to stress the importance of risk management, ethics, and human oversight because AI systems can also produce harmful or unreliable outcomes.
