In the year 2025, asking whether we should use Artificial Intelligence (AI) is like asking two decades ago whether it was worth learning how to use the internet. The answer is simple, direct, and categorical: yes, without a doubt. And not because it's a fad or a passing trend, but because AI is already with us, influencing our lives, even if we don't know it. The smartest thing we can do is to know it, understand it, and learn to use it to our advantage.
We are living in a time of unprecedented technological transformation. News headlines announce mass layoffs due to automation, while others predict dystopian futures controlled by machines. The reality is probably somewhere in between, but what is clear is that Artificial Intelligence is redefining the world of work, education, healthcare, and virtually every productive sector.
Inaction is not an option. Faced with this scenario, many people are afraid. Others, simply bewilderment. It's normal: every revolution generates uncertainty. The same thing happened with the arrival of personal computers, with the rise of the internet, with the emergence of smartphones, etc. And in all these cases, those who adapted best were those who adopted the technology early, not those who resisted change.
AI isn't a threat in itself. What is a threat is not understanding it, not training, not knowing how it can impact or benefit us. Because, like any powerful tool, it can be used to create or destroy, to facilitate or control. And that's where individual and collective responsibility comes in.
AI already affects you (even if you don't know it). When you shop online and receive recommendations, there's AI. When you watch series on streaming platforms, there's AI behind it. When you use your smartphone to translate, organize your schedule, or search for an address, you're interacting with AI models. Even personnel selection processes, medical diagnoses, or financial decisions are beginning to be influenced by algorithms. It's not a question of whether you're going to use AI. You're already using it, whether you know it or not.
That's why training in Artificial Intelligence is now a basic necessity for any professional, entrepreneur, or citizen who wants to stay relevant in an increasingly automated and competitive world.
Will it destroy jobs? Yes. Will it create new ones? Yes. It's naive to deny that AI is already displacing jobs, especially those that are routine, mechanical, or easily automated. From call center operators to basic administrative tasks, we're already seeing this change.
But new opportunities are also emerging in areas that didn't even exist five years ago: AI specialists, prompt designers, algorithm auditors, model trainers, human supervisors in automated systems, technology ethics experts, etc. And beyond the technology sector, traditional professions are being transformed, from medicine to agriculture, law to education.
In this new era, attitude makes the difference. The ability to learn, to adapt, to collaborate with machines rather than compete against them will be essential. What was once valued as experience must now be accompanied by mental agility and technological curiosity.
Shutting yourself away in a shell, waiting for the "storm to pass" is a suicidal strategy. This isn't going to happen. This is here to stay. And those who cling to the past will be swept away by the wave.
AI will replace some people. But it will certainly replace those who don't know how to use it. That's the uncomfortable but necessary truth. AI is not the enemy. The real danger is not being prepared. Therefore, training, experimenting, and becoming familiar with these tools is the best personal and professional investment you can make right now.
In short: it's not a question of whether we "should" use Artificial Intelligence. It's a question of when and how we're going to do it. Because the sooner we begin to understand it, the sooner we'll know how to use it for our own benefit, as has already happened with other disruptive technologies.
Adapt or be left behind. There's no other way. And you, what path are you going to take?
