        abstract = {Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, automating repetitive tasks, and introducing efficiencies that were previously unattainable. However, the acceleration of AI adoption raises societal concerns, including job displacement, ethical dilemmas, and potential misuse. This paper explores the dual nature of AI—its promises and perils—and proposes measures to ensure AI remains a beneficial tool without posing existential risks. Emphasis is placed on data security, responsible AI training, and the need for decentralized, encrypted data storage to prevent malicious exploitation.},
