Sooner or later the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was going to come into our lives, as it has been a promise that has been on the horizon for decades, and that science fiction has always made us dream. However, this advancement has occurred stealthily, even though it has exploited the curiosity of many, since OpenAI launched ChatGPT.

Since then, we have witnessed an explosion of possibilities in which AI will transform our lives. From the workplace to art, education, our PowerPoint presentations… Anyway! Basically, anything with technology, as AI promises to change everything, including; our way of thinking. It is a phenomenon that seems not to have
limits to its potential impact on our world.

However, in the midst of this debate, there is one question that does not seem to be getting enough attention, and it is one of the most crucial: how can we use it to connect more deeply with our own humanity? This question is based on an undeniable truth: no matter what regulations are imposed or not, AI is ultimately a tool, and its impact will be shaped by how humanity employs it and integrates it into our lives, as well as At the time it was the discovery of fire and electricity.

Overall, there is a feeling that we have entered a new era. It is important to remember that periods of disruption and change offer unique opportunities for introspection and wisdom, both of which involve stripping away what is non-essential. That is precisely what we are experiencing now, and it is why many are optimistic that this moment will be a time of transformation and renewal.

Despite technological advances, certain aspects of life will remain fundamental, such as our social interactions, because ultimately, we are still human beings.

I think one of the crucial aspects of this transformative potential of AI is its ability to clear our minds, because as it automates repetitive and mundane tasks, we can focus on what really matters.

Instead of spending time on processes and activities that can be handled by machines, we can focus on cultivating our essential qualities that lead us to connect with what is truly human and meaningful in our lives.
