They see faster production, easier access to information, and machines capable of performing tasks that once required human effort. But I believe this optimism overlooks a much deeper danger. AI may increase economic growth and improve people’s lives for a short period. Yet those benefits could give way to a major crisis as humanoid robots take over human work and people become increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence to think for them. ## The gradual loss of independent thinking The danger begins with how people use artificial intelligence. Many people turn to AI for every question they have. They increasingly ask it to think, reason, and make judgments on their behalf. My concern is that, through this dependence, people will slowly but surely lose their ability to think clearly and independently. What begins as assistance could become dependence. If this continues, I believe we could face a growing number of people struggling with their memory, their thinking, and their mental well-being. These people would need support, placing additional demands on governments at precisely the moment when governments may be losing the resources to help them. ## A crisis of employment and government revenue Once humanoid robots are sufficiently trained, I believe AI and humanoids will eventually take over at least 80% of both manual and intellectual jobs. Production and productivity would increase. But alongside those gains would come a massive unemployment crisis. Governments depend on tax revenue to finance public services and support their populations. When people lose their jobs, they lose the income from which they pay taxes. At the same time, they become more dependent on government assistance to survive. This creates a dangerous situation: more people need help, while the government has less money available to provide it. How will governments support a population whose employment has been replaced by machines? ## Producing is one thing. Selling is another. Companies pursuing the replacement of workers with AI and humanoid robots are focused on increasing productivity, expanding production, and raising profits. But producing goods is one thing. Selling them is another. Workers are also consumers. Their wages allow them to purchase the goods and services that businesses produce. If roughly 80% of people lose their jobs, where will the purchasing power come from to buy an expanding volume of production? A company may produce more than ever before and still fail to sell enough to survive. Even if governments provide subsidies or unemployment benefits, that support may not be sufficient. With tax revenue declining and the number of people requiring assistance increasing, governments may struggle to provide enough money for basic needs, let alone enough to absorb the additional production generated by AI and humanoids. The result could be a growing surplus of goods that people cannot afford to buy. ## An economy moving toward a wall This is the crisis I believe the world is approaching. Companies replace people with AI and humanoids to increase production and profits. But the people who lose their jobs also lose their ability to consume. Businesses then discover that their sales fall short of their expectations. Instead of earning the profits they anticipated, companies could face substantial losses. Some could go bankrupt. Meanwhile, governments would face demands for unemployment benefits and other forms of assistance while collecting less tax revenue. Even where benefits remain available, they may not provide enough purchasing power to sustain demand for everything the automated economy produces. Governments may then be tempted to print more money to encourage consumption. In my view, that response could create another crisis: high inflation. We could therefore find ourselves in a world where machines can produce more, people cannot afford to consume enough, companies cannot sell enough, and governments cannot adequately support their populations. ## The question behind the excitement The world is celebrating the rise of machines. But behind that excitement lies a question we cannot afford to ignore: Who will buy what the machines produce when the people who once earned wages no longer have jobs? We must also ask what happens to humanity when people increasingly surrender their thinking to artificial intelligence. These are the dangers I see behind the promise of progress. Without confronting them, we risk moving blindly toward a wall with no way out. The world is celebrating today. Tomorrow, we may discover the crisis we failed to see coming.
