As AI systems become the cornerstone of competitive advantage, they can inadvertently marginalize human roles and decision-making. The drive for efficiency and cost reduction may lead organizations to rely predominantly on AI, sidelining human judgment, creativity, and accountability. This dynamic risks creating environments where economic and social inequities widen, and the intrinsic value of human input is systematically undermined (see examples). The gradual disempowerment of individuals under such competitive pressures poses significant challenges for societal well-being and democratic governance.  See: https://gradual-disempowerment.ai/
