Experts warn of risks from near-conscious AI, with human agency at stake

An NDTV opinion piece argues that the main danger of increasingly human-like AI is not machines suddenly gaining souls. Instead, the concern is that people may voluntarily give up their own judgment and inner autonomy to these systems. The article frames this as a fourth major blow to human self-importance, following earlier scientific revelations. It draws on discussions involving AI developer Anthropic and contemplative perspectives such as Buddhist monks. The piece concludes that society should consider how it will preserve human agency as AI approaches consciousness-like qualities.
