The future is about leading, not predicting. In today's era, many companies, technologists, and scientists find themselves leading beyond the bounds of merely predicting their futures. As mass production and mechanization replace manual labor, humans are exploring alternative occupations to coexist alongside machines. Gradually, humans are being supplanted by other entities.

Technology has caused unemployment among humans, with artificial intelligence being the quintessential example. Artificial intelligence, a branch of computer engineering, emulates human learning, reasoning, and perception abilities, essentially comprising computer programs. Engineers and CEOs spearheading artificial intelligence contemplate its future impact, whether positive or negative, yet all are committed to advancing and implementing artificial intelligence.

Numerous scholars forecast that AI will supplant many human jobs. In the coming years, humans must seek alternative vocations to avoid being replaced by AI and secure new employment opportunities. Failure to do so, coupled with the absence of new economic systems and theories, will lead to the collapse of the prevailing economic framework sustained by a majority of the unemployed populace. Without such progress, AI will persist as a looming threat to society.

Technological progress is an inevitable facet of our future. Whether artificial intelligence remains a passing trend or evolves into an indispensable element of our future is uncertain. Nevertheless, in a society marked by rapid change, adaptation is once again paramount.
