Opinion: How humans can control risks arising from AI

An opinion piece syndicated from China Daily and published by Pakistan’s Dawn argues that AI is a qualitatively different technology from past inventions because it rivals humans’ core knowledge‑producing abilities, creating deep risks to social stability, identity and economic structures. The article calls for stronger global governance frameworks, public awareness and ethical norms to ensure AI systems remain under meaningful human control and are steered toward broadly beneficial outcomes rather than concentrated power or military escalation.
