AI is not dangerous because it’s intelligent — it becomes dangerous when power is separated from understanding. As artificial intelligence moves faster than the systems meant to govern it, most people are being trained to consume AI tools without truly understanding how they work, where data goes, or where responsibility ends.

Digital work didn’t just change how we earn money — it changed how the human body is asked to exist. Most of us now spend hours seated, eyes forward, under artificial light, processing more information than our biology evolved for. When the body responds with tension, fatigue, or discomfort, we assume something is wrong with us. But the truth is simpler: digital work is biologically new, and your body knows it.
