The safest response is neither resistance nor passive adoption. Individuals need a clear understanding of their distinct human contribution, practical AI fluency and pathways into ownership—not only efficiency.
What this changes for cities
Cities that connect education, local firms, public services and new enterprise formation can turn AI into distributed capability. Cities that treat it only as a procurement tool may deepen dependency.
