Job and AI Balance. Ensuring Human Engagement: The Crucial Role of Jobs in an AI-Driven World

 As AI efficiency soars, the need for meaningful human occupation remains paramount to avoid global unemployment crises.

Gladwell Stone

In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, there is a pressing need to emphasize the importance of human engagement through meaningful employment. While AI undeniably offers unparalleled efficiency and cost-cutting benefits, the potential consequences of overlooking the role of jobs in people's lives could lead to dire global crises of unemployment.

As technology advances and automation becomes more prevalent, some may argue that AI-driven systems are rendering human labor obsolete. However, the consequences of mass unemployment are far-reaching and detrimental to society as a whole. By recognizing the inherent value of human engagement, we can proactively address this challenge and foster a more inclusive and sustainable future.

One crucial aspect of the human experience is the sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from gainful employment. Jobs provide individuals with a sense of identity, dignity, and personal growth. They create opportunities for skill development, economic independence, and social mobility. Without meaningful work, individuals may struggle with feelings of disenfranchisement, leading to a host of societal issues, including mental health problems, social unrest, and economic inequality.

Moreover, the benefits of human engagement extend beyond the individual. A thriving workforce drives economic growth, as income generated from jobs fuels consumer spending and stimulates demand for goods and services. This, in turn, supports a healthy economy and sustains the functioning of society. When individuals are employed, they contribute to the tax base, reducing the burden on governments and enabling investments in crucial public services, infrastructure, and social welfare programs.

Furthermore, human workers possess unique qualities that are difficult to replicate by AI. While machines excel at tasks involving data analysis, pattern recognition, and repetitive operations, humans possess creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving abilities. These uniquely human attributes are vital in areas such as innovation, customer service, leadership, and other fields that require a nuanced understanding of human emotions and interactions.

To bridge the gap between AI-driven automation and the need for human engagement, policymakers, business leaders, and society at large must invest in retraining and reskilling initiatives. By equipping individuals with the skills required for the jobs of the future, we can ensure a smooth transition into new roles that complement AI technologies rather than competing with them. This will enable workers to stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market and tap into emerging sectors that demand human expertise.

Jobs provide not only economic stability but also a sense of purpose, personal growth, and societal well-being. By prioritizing human occupation, investing in reskilling initiatives, and harnessing the unique qualities humans bring to the table, we can build a future where AI and humans work synergistically, avoiding global crises of unemployment and fostering a prosperous and inclusive society.

Indigenes of Edo Express Deep Dissatisfaction with Retired General Charles Airhiavbere's Treatment

By Gladwell Stone In a resounding declaration of unity, the indigenes of Edo State have stood firm against the actions of Retired General Charles Airhiavbere, expressing their profound disappointment and anger over his treatment of their people during his tenure as the Executive Director of Finance on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). At the center of the storm is the stark reality that General Airhiavbere, while in a position of significant influence, allegedly chose to withhold support and assistance from the Edo people. His reported vow to deny aid to the very people he was appointed to serve has ignited a wave of resentment, painting a picture of political vindictiveness that has marred his tenure. It is suggested that this stance stems from the perceived lack of support from the Edo community during his bid for the position, though this claim is yet to be substantiated. Even more disheartening is the purported treatment of Edo individuals working within t
