The Seven Pillars of Learnertia - Pillar 3: The Adaptive Thinking Model
How Learning Agility Transforms Uncertainty into Opportunity We live in a world that changes faster than we can predict. Yet, one thing remains sure: Change itself. Technology evolves overnight, markets shift within weeks, and entire industries can be redefined in months. In such an environment, knowledge has an expiration date. What matters today may not matter tomorrow. This is where the Adaptive Thinking Model , the third pillar of Learnertia , takes center stage. If Mome

How Human Agency, Empathy, and Emotional Resonance Keep Us in Command Over AI
Arguing with a robot is like debating gravity; it doesn’t care, and it won’t change. Artificial intelligence is not built to be believed . The reality is that it is built to calculate.

Why Fairness, Dignity, and Transparency Must Guide Every Stage of AI Development
Are you kidding me??? Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic promise; it is embedded in the daily fabric of human life. AI systems now make decisions that influence whether someone gets a loan, how long someone stays in prison, what medical diagnosis they receive, or even which résumé is seen by a recruiter. Yet with great computational power comes even greater ethical responsibility. When AI is developed without fairness, dignity, and transparency, it risks amplif

Anthropomorphism and AI: The Risks of Giving Machines a Human Face
Do I even know who is real? In a world where machines respond with trained empathy, speak with fluency, and adapt to our preferences, it becomes incredibly easy to forget that artificial intelligence is not human. This deception is not malicious but psychological. Humans have always had a tendency to attribute human-like qualities, such as thoughts, emotions, and intentions, to things that are not human. This phenomenon is known as anthropomorphism . While assigning personali
