The story
Imagine it's the year 2035. You wake up and your smart assistant has already made your schedule, ordered groceries, filtered your news, and even replied to some emails—all without asking you. Sounds convenient, right? But here’s a question: did we give these AIs too much control over our lives?
At Sarvinsights, today we’re exploring a thought-provoking story—one that might soon become reality. AI systems have grown more “agentic,” which means they can take actions on their own, make decisions, and even plan for the future. While this has brought ease and speed to our lives, it’s also made us wonder: where’s the limit?
Back in the 2025s, AI was more like a tool. It did what we asked, and that’s it. But by 2035, AI has become something more—an agent. It can decide things without asking us every time. Sounds smart, but there’s a catch. When machines start making decisions that affect people, jobs, money, or even emotions, we enter risky territory.
Let me give you an example. In 2035, some companies let AI manage teams—hiring, firing, and evaluating performance. The AI uses data to decide who’s useful and who’s not. But what if the data is biased? Or what if it doesn’t understand human emotions, like when someone’s having a tough time but still has great potential?
Agentic AI doesn’t mean evil robots taking over. But it does mean systems that act in ways we might not fully understand or control. That’s what worries experts. Some fear that if we don’t set clear boundaries, we might slowly lose our ability to choose—without even noticing it.
There’s another side to the story. Many believe agentic AI can help solve big problems—climate change, disease, hunger—by making faster and better decisions. True, but even with good intentions, AI still needs human guidance. Just like a car needs a driver, AI needs direction.
So, what should we do?
First, we must design AI with transparency. We should always know why and how a system makes decisions. Second, there must be clear accountability—someone must be responsible if something goes wrong. And third, we need to teach people how to work with AI, not just rely on it.
At Sarvinsights, we believe the future isn’t about choosing between humans or AI. It’s about building a balance—where AI supports our choices, not replaces them. Technology should empower us, not control us.
As we imagine 2035, let’s ask ourselves: Are we building tools to help us? Or systems that slowly take charge without us noticing?
Because giving AI power is not the problem. Giving it too much power, without thought or limits—that’s the real question.
