AI has initiated an all-encompassing revolution. The industrial and commercial world has been reaping the benefits and enthusiastically ushering in AI innovations for higher and higher profits, and in the process, creating fears about job losses. Recently, Microsoft AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, raised an alarm about the growing psychological phenomenon, which he calls ‘AI psychosis’, that can cause users to lose contact with reality and suffer mental health problems.

There is no doubt a negative fallout from the commercial and industrial world. More worrying, though, are the larger financial and psychological damages arising from an atmosphere rife with fears and anxieties among people at large from cyberattacks, phishing, malware, online fraud, and blackmail.

The biggest fear is the possibility of loss of jobs on a large scale. History tells us that revolutionary times are chaotic and uncertain. Predictions are no better than shots in the dark.  An anxious and worried populace readily listens to cacophonous talk and writings. Fearful and confused crowds listen intently to contradictory opinions backed by statistics, which can be doubted, because, as they say, “lies, greater lies and statistics!”

The situation is highly confusing and unpredictable. When Ginni Rometty, former CEO of IBM, said, “AI will not replace humans, but those who use AI will replace those who don't,” many rushed to the quick-grasp courses on AI.

The hope created turned into despair with the subsequent news in AI Overview, “dedicating over a decade to pioneering artificial intelligence - only to receive a layoff notice alongside thousands of colleagues”. And then, on May 13, 2025, Microsoft revealed plans to cut about 6,000 jobs globally - roughly 3% of its workforce - as part of a strategic restructure to eliminate redundant management layers and accelerate the deployment of AI. Many other companies the world over followed suit.

And soon came a forecast: “How many jobs will be lost by 2030 due to AI?” AI Overview stated that, “By 2030, AI and automation are projected to displace a significant number of jobs globally, with estimates ranging from 2.4 million to 800 million. Some reports suggest that up to a third of the global workforce could be affected. The impact will vary across sectors, with routine and repetitive tasks being the most vulnerable to automation.” 

The range of “2.4 million to 800 million” is so wide that it stretches credibility and, in an atmosphere of fear and anxiety, scares everyone.

                                      

How to Gain and Retain Resilience

Historical Perspective

AI is still a tool lacking in the miraculous human faculties of instinct, imagination, and, more importantly, ‘intuitive sparks’ which lead to Eureka moments. Even psychologists admit that these moments come from ‘somewhere there’, referring to the source of human ingenuity and creativity. These rare, often called divine faculties, have helped humans to survive and thrive through the inventions of new, marvellous tools and technologies. Humanity survived and thrived despite apparently insurmountable calamities from the hunter-gatherer stage to recent times.

AI may lead to mass unemployment, but so did the Depression, particularly the most serious one in 1929-32, when most lost income and savings. Families struggled to afford food and basic necessities, leading to malnutrition and hunger. Soup kitchens emerged to provide meals, but demand often outstripped supply.

Families developed strategies for survival, including gardening, canning, repairing clothes, utilizing unusual food sources, sharing resources, and relying on community support networks and mutual aid from extended families and neighbours. 

The Industrial Revolution disrupted the agricultural economy with the introduction of manufacturing machines and the growth of factories that put at risk the farm and cottage industries. The distressed, jobless folk called “Luddites” took to breaking and forcibly destroying the new machine ‘monsters’.

But the ingenuity of some leaders spread the new skills and cooperative ventures and successfully overcame the negative consequences of industrialisation.

Such misery and suffering were also widespread during the two World Wars. Then, too, with ingenious new ways, societies overcame the crises.

Artificial Intelligence  V/S Authentic Intelligences/Augmented Intuitions

A report on the “Limits of AI in Intuitive Decision-Making” says, “AI can recognize patterns, analyse vast datasets, and predict outcomes, but it struggles with abstract reasoning, emotional intelligence, and moral judgment. Leaders often rely on intuition when facing unprecedented challenges – something AI cannot replicate. For instance, during a crisis, a CEO may need to make a split-second decision based on gut instinct, experience, and emotional cues from their team. AI, trained on historical data, may provide valuable insights but lacks the adaptability and human-centric nuance required in these situations.”

 

Creating New Marvels

Instead of losing confidence and getting virtually immobilised, we have to awaken and sharpen our intuitive power and be ready to be self-employed and create new markets with marvellous products and services.

Can everyone take this route? Yes indeed. According to psychologists, all children are 100% creative and do wondrous things just playing. It is a tragedy of sorts that by the age of 10, creativity declines to 7-10% as adults get bogged down by chores and repetitive activities. And when one gets a job, routine activities take up all the time.

According to psychologists, more than 6,000 thoughts cross the mind of almost every individual daily; some of them are about new items with creative changes, but these are not pursued further. Some do attempt to put ideas into action, but self-doubt and fear of failure and ridicule nip them in the bud. After hearing about something new in the market, many sigh and blurt, “Gosh, I’d thought of that but did not pursue it!”

 Real Life Examples of a Flash of Imagination Creating New Marvels

       LED Bulb

The originator of the LED bulb was strolling on the bank of a lake and noticed light emitting from the scales of some deep-sea fish when it turned in water. He caught one, studied its body scales, and designed LEDs with a jagged overlay to increase light output.

The Wright Brothers' Research - Helicopter

According to a report, Wilbur and Orville Wright were mechanically inclined brothers inspired by a toy helicopter. They devoted themselves to human flight, studying birds and conducting tests with gliders.

Birds Teach The Air Force A Better Way To Fly

In his very authentic piece (July 2013) on the history of flying, Scott Neuman candidly observes, “More than a century after the invention of powered flight, birds are still teaching us something about how to fly airplanes, with the Air Force studying the V-shaped formation of airborne geese as a way to save fuel.”

 Link between the Shinkansen and the kingfisher

The nose of the Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train) was inspired by the kingfisher's beak to address the problem of noise generated by the train entering tunnels, a phenomenon known as "tunnel boom".

 

So it is crystal clear that with All-round Integration Of Artificial Intelligence With Authentic Intelligences humans can create new products just by observing keenly and pursuing their creative instinct and inspiration. Here are a few inspiring quotes from eminent creative personalities:

·         “Creativity is intelligence having fun.”- Albert Einstein

·         “If you are alive, you are a creative person.”- Elizabeth Gilbert

·         The worst enemy of creativity is self-doubt.”- Sylvia Path
