So how exactly does AI amplify individual agency? It’s a triple threat:

• Efficiency on Steroids. AI boosts everyone’s ability to get stuff done. Tasks that used to take hours: now take minutes. Complex problems that would have stumped you indefinitely: are now solvable. It’s like having a team of expert assistants at your beck and call, every hour, of every day.

• Time: The Ultimate Luxury. By automating the mundane and accelerating the complex, AI frees up humanity's most precious resource — time. Having more leisure hours isn’t the main thing (though that’s nice); it’s about having the mental space to focus on bigger challenges.

• Choices Galore. AI is expanding the horizon. Suddenly, skills that were once out of reach are accessible. Want to code but never learnt? AI’s got your back. Need to understand complex data? AI can break it down for you. It’s essentially a passport to a world of new possibilities.
