When Machines Think Faster Than Us

from The Inheritance Hosted by Open Book

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility lurking in science fiction. It is already reshaping finance, healthcare, warfare, politics, and even human behaviour itself. As machines grow faster, smarter, and more autonomous, humanity faces a question no civilisation has confronted before: what happens when intelligence itself escapes human control? The battle is no longer just about technology. It is about power, ethics, freedom, and ultimately, what it means to remain human in an age where machines are beginning to think beside us — and perhaps someday beyond us.
