Let me tell you something, I’ve lived long enough to see typewriters turn into touchscreens. I’ve seen jobs disappear and new ones appear out of thin air. But what’s happening right now with artificial intelligence? Baby, this is different.
According to a recent Yahoo News article by Lee Chong Ming, Chen Deli, a senior researcher from China’s AI firm DeepSeek, warned that AI could replace most jobs within the next decade. Ten years. That’s not a distant headline that’s tomorrow morning knocking on our door.
Chen didn’t sugarcoat it. He said, “Tech companies should play the role of guardians of humanity.” And when I read that, I paused. Because he’s right. Somebody has to stand guard not just over our data or our dollars, but over our dignity.
The Disruption Ahead
Chen described this time we’re living in as the “honeymoon phase” of AI when people are still excited, still in control, still using it as a helper. But he warned that phase won’t last.
In five to ten years, machines could be doing work we once took pride in teaching, writing, analyzing, designing, even caring. That’s not science fiction anymore. It’s the quiet reality forming behind every app, every algorithm, every “update available.”
We’re entering an era where skills alone won’t save us, souls will. The heart behind what we do, how we serve, and who we show up for… that’s what’s going to matter most.
Guardians of Humanity
Chen said tech companies should be whistleblowers not just innovators. That hit me deep. Because too often, power hides behind progress. Everyone’s racing to be first, but no one’s stopping to ask, “At what cost?”
Being a guardian of humanity isn’t just the job of DeepSeek or OpenAI or Silicon Valley. It’s our job too. We are the mothers, the mentors, the dreamers, and the doers — the ones who still believe that integrity and empathy are technologies of their own.
We’ve got to stay alert. We’ve got to demand transparency. And we’ve got to build with conscience not just convenience.
Faith Over Fear
Now, I’m not here to spread panic. I’m here to remind you that faith still builds what fear tries to bury.
We can’t stop innovation, but we can shape its impact.
We can’t pause progress, but we can prepare for it.
And no matter what AI learns, it’ll never know love like we do.
Faith gives us creativity. It gives us courage. It gives us clarity when everything else feels uncertain. So instead of saying, “AI is coming for my job,” start asking, “How can I use AI to create new opportunities?”
The Pivot Plan
Here’s what I tell my students all the time: learn the tools before the tools learn you.
Start exploring what AI can do in your field.
- If you’re an educator, use it to create lesson plans or visuals.
- If you’re a writer, let it help you brainstorm, not replace your words.
- If you’re an entrepreneur, let it free up your time so you can serve more deeply.
AI isn’t the enemy, disconnection is. If we stop learning, we stop leading.
This is our moment to pivot with purpose, to build skills that align with our calling, not just the clock.
Closing Word: We Are Still the Miracle
When I read that article about DeepSeek, I didn’t feel hopeless. I felt awakened. Because even as machines grow smarter, there’s one thing they’ll never duplicate, the human spirit.
Technology might challenge our structures, but it can’t cancel our soul. It might reshape society, but it can’t rewrite destiny.
So yes, the world is changing fast but so are we. Let’s not just watch it happen. Let’s lead it, love it, and guard it together.
Now I want to hear from you:
How do you feel about AI’s future?
What will you do to protect what makes us human in this digital age?
Drop your thoughts, your fears, your hopes — because this conversation matters more than ever.
Faith over fear, always.
