AI Is Not Taking Over, Tech Industrialists Are!

Whenever I hear people say, "AI is taking over," I just laugh in Pidgin.

AI no really dey take over like that, if na so you think, e mean say you never see the full picture.

The truth is, AI is not some self-aware force that suddenly woke up one day and decided to replace humans.

AI no get mind of its own.

AI no get personal ambition.

AI no wake up one morning talk say e wan take over anybody job.

So, if AI no be the mastermind behind all these changes wey dey happen, who come dey push this movement?

Who dey make people lose jobs to AI?

Who dey restructure industries with AI as the tool?

The real answer dey simple: Tech Industrialists!

Who Are the Tech Industrialists?

Tech Industrialists are the people wey dey control the technology industry, big CEOs, tech billionaires and major investors.

These people are not just developing AI for fun or for the general progress of society.

Dem dey build AI because e dey favor their business interests.

AI is just a tool, and like every tool, na who dey control am dey determine how e dem go use am.

AI no be the problem, the real issue na the agenda of the people wey dey develop, fund and implement AI solutions.

These Tech Industrialists are the ones creating the so-called "competition" between AI and humans.

Dem dey use AI take restructure industries, remove human workers, and replace them with automated systems.

But make we break am down so you go understand their main strategy.

The Three Major Goals of Tech Industrialists

Tech Industrialists are not pushing AI to help humanity live better lives.

Their main goal na profit, and to achieve that, dem dey focus on three key areas:

1. Replacing the Human Workforce.

The first thing wey dem dey try do na to remove human labour from industries, both inside and outside the technology space.

Many companies don already use AI and automation to replace workers for jobs like customer service, content writing, video editing and even programming.

Factories don dey reduce human workers and replace them with robots.

Restaurants don dey introduce automated ordering systems, reducing the need for waiters.

Self-driving cars go soon eliminate taxi and truck drivers.

The more AI takes over these roles, the more humans go dey pushed out of work.

But remember say, no be AI dey decide say e wan take work from you, na the people wey dey own the businesses dey make that decision.

2. Dominating the Global Economy

The second major goal na total control of the economy.

AI gives these Tech Industrialists a competitive edge because:

AI-powered businesses can operate faster, cheaper and more efficiently than traditional businesses wey still dey use human labour.

AI can analyze markets, predict trends and help businesses make better decisions, making big corporations even stronger.

Smaller businesses wey no fit afford AI go gradually die out, making the big players more powerful.

At the end of the day, na the same few companies go control everything, because dem go be the only ones wey fit afford the most advanced AI systems.

3. Reducing Expenses and Maximizing Profit

Every business owner wan reduce costs and increase profit.

The easiest way to do that na to cut out human workers, because:

AI no dey collect salary.

AI no dey ask for pension.

AI no need work-life balance.

AI no dey go on strike.

AI no dey ask for promotion or better working conditions.

By replacing employees with AI, big corporations go dey save billions of dollars, but at the cost of millions of jobs disappearing.

This is why companies dey rush to embrace AI, not because AI is some unstoppable force, but because AI helps them make more money.

So, What Can You Do?

Now wey you don understand the real picture, the question wey remain be:

What can you do to survive in this AI-driven world?

1. Stop Seeing AI as the Enemy

The first step na to change your mindset.

AI no be your enemy.

The real problem na how AI is being used.

If you spend all your time complaining say AI dey take over, you go only waste valuable time wey you fit take adapt and position yourself.

2. Learn How AI Works

The best way to avoid being replaced by AI na to understand how AI works.

Instead of running from technology, embrace am.

Learn am.

Study am.

Some key areas you fit focus on include:

AI tools for your industry.

No matter your field, AI don already dey play a role. Find out the AI tools wey dey relevant to your profession and learn how to use them.

AI-assisted skills.

Many jobs no go disappear completely, but they go require people wey sabi work with AI instead of being replaced by it. Learn how to integrate AI into your workflow.

Data and Automation.

The more you sabi about how AI dey process data and automate tasks, the more valuable you go be in the job market.

3. Find a Niche AI Cannot Easily Replace

While AI go continue to advance, there are still many areas wey e no fit easily replace humans, such as:

Creative professions:

AI fit help, but e no fit fully replace originality, storytelling, and deep human emotions.

Leadership and Strategy:

AI no fit make strategic decisions like a human leader.

Personalized services:

AI no fit replace real human connections in areas like counseling, coaching and customer relations.

Find your strength, refine your skills and position yourself inside one of these irreplaceable niches.

4. Start Building with AI Instead of Fighting It

Instead of seeing AI as a threat, think of how you fit use AI to your advantage.

Many people dey make money today by building AI-driven businesses, using AI to improve their work and even teaching others how to use AI effectively.

Some ways to take advantage of AI include:

Starting an AI-driven business:

If you understand AI, you fit build services wey take advantage of its power.

Offering AI consulting:

Many businesses dey struggle to understand AI. If you sabi am, you fit offer consulting services.

Teaching AI skills:

As AI continues to grow, demand for AI education go continue to rise.

If You Forget Everything, No Forget This One:

AI is not taking over, Tech Industrialists are!

AI na just a tool, and how e go affect your life depends on how you decide to interact with it.

If you ignore AI, e go become a weapon wey go work against you.

But if you study am, embrace am and position yourself well, you go turn AI into an asset wey go work for you.

Peace.
