      <abstract>
        <p>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.</p>
