Yuval Noah Harari reminds us that technology sets us free to focus on what is truly human: creativity, empathy, and solving complex problems.

Those who thrive in this new world see disruption as a chance to grow. AI is creating more possibilities, higher wages, and brand-new industries.

The true risk is not the technology itself, but missing out while others move ahead.
