What’s the AI of tomorrow? The humans behind it

Whether you’re an active user of AI or a foreigner to the concept, the technology often feels like the greatest frontier we must embrace. Everyday, millions of people speak excitedly of what it can do, how it works, and where it will go next.
Yet, somewhere along the way, many forget the critical question around it: what about the people who make it happen? Without centering AI around humanity, the system risks becoming an instrument that prioritizes machines and diminishes what it means to simply be a person.
For many, the concept of AI seems incredibly promising. It makes work easier, opens up endless possibilities, keeps innovation alive, relieves complexities, and the list could go on and on. But even as much good as it produces, sometimes the ability to automate is not the sole purpose of its existence.
Experts in the field of AI argue modern-day technology is always evolving, and with that comes the responsibility to design it and use it with intellect. That’s where humans can make a distinct difference. By giving them authority about how large language models work, AI has the capacity to lead with integrity and honesty.
One AI professional, Nicolas Genest, CEO and Founder of CodeBoxx, puts it this way: “When people talk about AI, they often forget the obvious—there are still humans behind it. I built CodeBoxx to bring that truth back into the spotlight. In business, every algorithm, every product, every line of code must serve human curiosity, intent, and problem-solving. Like every other tech breakthrough we experienced, I believe AI was never meant to replace people—it’s here to amplify what we’re capable of. That’s the mission that drives me: keeping humanity at the center of every technology we create.”
AI systems are powerful, but their decisions aren’t always the right ones. Like any technology, they have errors, biases, and unprotected consequences, and without effective human oversight, the system can drift in unanticipated directions, losing sight of moral values.
The truth isn’t just in the theory. According to the Pew Research Center, nearly 57% of AI consumers are worried about losing human connection. That’s because more and more people are depending on a chatbot versus each other to accomplish daily tasks.
Another piece often overlooked in these conversations is the question of identity. Work has always been a major part of how humans survive. When AI takes over, it leaves people in personal and economic displacement. If the technology is not enhanced by human purpose, the very foundation of humanistic contributions and development will erode. The true test of AI isn’t how fast it operates, but whether it strengthens our sense of agency and belonging.
Keeping humans at the center of AI doesn’t have to mean slowing down progress either. It means guiding progress in the right direction. This could look like keeping people accountable for the chatbot, but also allowing diverse communities to have a seat at the table in order to give AI the entire range of human perspective.
As the data shows, AI is expanding rapidly, where industry watchers project the market to soar to $4.8 trillion by 2033. If the rise continues—which we know it will—its trajectory will narrow as more regulations lag and corporations fall under pressure to consistently deploy new updates. And if America fails to change the system now, the impacts will lead to a tragic loss of human dignity here soon.
Looking ahead, the next wave of AI is not just about the machine that can compute results in seconds. It’s about how this technology can be woven into society. The more humans drive AI, the more potential we’ll have in active problem solving, creativity, and discovery in each of our lives.
So let’s not forget: at the forefront of every AI machine is a human body. AI may be today’s most dominant tool now, but it’s the people who surround it that make it meaningful.
