Artificial Intelligence is moving beyond incremental innovation toward a threshold of transformative potential, where its capabilities may surpass human performance in critical cognitive, creative, and strategic domains. This shift could mark the beginning of a new epoch, reshaping economies, scientific discovery, and the very fabric of human society. Can Transformative AI Shape a New Age for Our Civilization? Navigating between Speculation and Reality offers a concise yet comprehensive guide to understanding this pivotal technological frontier. It clearly defines what makes AI transformative, distinguishing it from current-generation systems, and examines how such capabilities could accelerate breakthroughs in science, medicine, climate action, and global problem-solving. At the same time, it addresses the unprecedented risks, from economic disruption and systemic misuse to existential threats, that demand urgent governance, ethical foresight, and robust safety measures. Drawing from the latest research, cross-disciplinary perspectives, and real-world case studies, the authors provide readers with a structured framework for recognizing emerging transformative AI capabilities, assessing their likely societal impacts, and designing responsible adoption strategies. They explore both the technical foundations and the philosophical questions at the heart of this shift, offering actionable insights for policymakers, innovators, researchers, and informed citizens.
