People who love their work…\nand also feel the ground shifting underneath them. \nYou can hear it in small\, honest conversations: \n[CROWD VOICES — silhouettes on dark screen\, murmurs overlapping.] \n“What happens when the machine can do what I do?”  \n“I don’t want to be replaced.”  \n“I don’t know what’s real anymore.”  \n“It’s not AI I fear — it’s what people might do with it.”  \n“What happens to art… to meaning?”  \n“What if we stop thinking for ourselves?”  \nNARRATOR:These aren’t weird fears. They’re human fears. Old fears wearing new clothes. \nBecause deep down\, the biggest fear is usually the same:\n“Will I still have a place in the world?”  \n[ON SCREEN — stat pulse\, like a heartbeat.]\n“71% of Americans fear AI will permanently displace workers.” \nNARRATOR:That fear is widespread. Seventy-one percent of Americans feel it right now.\nNot a small group … a majority. \nAnd it isn’t the only fear. \n[ON SCREEN — second stat.]\n“77% fear AI will spread misinformation and deepfakes.” \nNARRATOR:Seventy-seven percent worry about losing truth\, a world where you can’t trust what you see. \nAnd beneath those big fears are quieter ones people carry in their chest:\nfear of loneliness\,\nfear of exploitation\,\nfear of losing control\,\nfear of creativity being taken without permission\,\nfear that this age could cost the earth as it grows.   \n[VISUAL — quick symbols for each: empty room\, scam text\, surveillance cams\, artists’ hands\, server farms.] \nNARRATOR (Gentle):And here’s what history reminds us:\nwe’ve stood in doorways like this before. \nPlease only submit produced video of section provided here:
