The Potential Threats of AI: A Global Reckoning

This article presents the potential threats which are usually faced while using artificial intelligence. The study looks at data from government organizations and prominent academic institutions such as Yoshua Bengio’s 2025 study, The International AI Safety study (2025), World Economic Forum assessments, McKinsey Global Institute projections, OECD monitoring frameworks, MIT Technology Review, and research from the International Labor Organization amongst others to investigate the complex risk environment associated with the development and use of AI. It also portrays that instead of processing any inherent moral attributes, AI reflects the objectives, values and errors of creators. Moreover, it focuses on the fact that at this critical juncture, the issue is mostly sociological rather than technical. It is finally concluded that AI Governance is a must, and not a choice.
