CRED founder Kunal Shah has sparked discussions on the future of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing that the human mindset, rather than technological limitations, is the real obstacle to AI’s progress. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Shah stated, “Most people are using AI in the same way older generations use smartphones today. The ability to harness the potential of technology will be limited unless the hardware is upgraded. Hardware being us.”
Shah’s remarks suggest that while AI continues to evolve, its impact remains constrained by human biases, outdated regulations, and narrow commercial goals. He argues that AI’s true potential can only be realized if people adapt their thinking and embrace the technology with a forward-looking approach.
His statement has sparked widespread debate, with many agreeing that education and awareness are crucial for AI adoption. Others have pointed out that ethical concerns and data biases also play a role in limiting AI’s effectiveness.
Shah has previously spoken about AI’s transformative impact, warning that those who fail to adapt will be left behind. He has urged businesses and individuals to embrace AI as a tool for efficiency and innovation, rather than resisting its integration.
