Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world, and Lebanon is no exception. In a groundbreaking episode of Voice of All Lebanon, host Nada explored AI’s rapid evolution, its real-world applications, and more importantly, whether AI is humanity’s greatest ally or a potential threat, with Webspot’s AI Expert CEO Elias Atik.
This wasn’t just another tech discussion. For the first time on Lebanese radio, an AI actively participated—responding fluently in Lebanese Arabic. As a result, this groundbreaking moment blurred the lines between human and machine, sparking curiosity among listeners. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a business owner, or simply curious about AI’s expanding role, this discussion provided valuable insights into its impact.
Future of AI: From Simple Code to Global Disruption
AI’s journey began in the 1980s with basic computer programs that couldn’t think, learn, or adapt. By the 1990s, however, AI slowly began mimicking human learning, gradually improving its capabilities. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until November 2022 that AI truly became a global phenomenon. With the release of ChatGPT, advanced AI suddenly became accessible to everyone, changing the way people interacted with technology.
This breakthrough wasn’t just technical; rather, it was a major cultural shift that reshaped industries worldwide. Almost overnight, AI became mainstream, significantly impacting education, business, healthcare, and entertainment. Today, AI doesn’t just process data. Instead, it creates content, automates tasks, and continuously transforms how we work and live.
AI in Action: Transforming Industries and Daily Life
AI is no longer science fiction. Instead, it is already integrated into everyday life, continuously providing tangible benefits across various sectors.
AI in Healthcare 📌
AI can rapidly analyze decades of cancer research, significantly accelerating the discovery of new treatments and medical breakthroughs.
Furthermore, machine learning models are helping doctors detect diseases earlier and diagnose patients with greater accuracy, improving healthcare outcomes.
AI in Business & Productivity📌
AI-powered automation is actively streamlining operations, thereby reducing costs, minimizing errors, and enhancing overall decision-making for businesses.
Moreover, chatbots and virtual assistants are transforming customer service by providing instant, personalized responses, leading to better user experiences.
AI in Creativity & Entertainment📌
AI-generated art, music, and writing spark debate: Can machines truly be creative, or are they merely mimicking human intelligence?
Notably, in the radio episode, an AI guest “Spot” responded in Lebanese Arabic vis WhatsApp, proving AI’s ability to adapt linguistically.
The Big Debate: Will AI Replace Humans or Empower Them?
As AI rapidly evolves, concerns about job
– Job Market Disruption
“It’s not AI that will take your job—it’s the person who knows how to use AI,” the expert, Atik, strongly emphasized.
Therefore, the key to job security is adapting, continuously learning, and effectively working alongside AI rather than competing against it.
– Ethical Concerns & AI Control
Listeners raised concerns, asking, “What if AI turns against us?” Their fears reflect growing uncertainty about AI’s increasing role in society.
In response, the AI bot reassured, ” I’m just a tool. My impact depends on human decisions. With proper oversight, there’s no need to worry.”
– The Future of AI
In the coming decade, AI could solve critical challenges, from mitigating climate change to accelerating research for currently incurable diseases.
However, responsible AI development, along with strict regulation, will remain essential to ensuring its safe and ethical use.
Nada then directly asked the AI, “Should we be scared?” Its response was simple yet profound: “Use AI wisely, and we’ll be fine.”
