AI is not inherently dangerous. But it can become dangerous—if we surrender our agency to it.In this episode, I share my perspective on whether AI will become the greatest tool humanity has ever created… or the greatest idol we’ve ever worshipped.The difference has nothing to do with AI itself. It has everything to do with how we think—and how we choose to use it.You’ll learn:• Why belief alone can create economic bubbles (and why they always burst)• The two cycles that shape every life: abundance and scarcity• How AI amplifies whichever mindset you bring to it• The critical difference between a tool and an idol• Why agency—not technology—determines your futureAI can produce output. But only humans create value.Value requires judgment. Creativity. Usefulness. Beauty. Agency.And in the age of AI, preserving your agency may be the most important decision you ever make.If you want help making clearer, faster decisions, I created a free tool for you:Download the One-Minute Decision Filter:https://aprilbragg.com/decideYour time is your greatest asset.
