The Most Dangerous Security Vulnerability Isn’t Software. It’s You.

Have you ever stopped to think about what happens in your mind when someone holds a door open for you at a shopping mall or office building?

Probably not. And that’s precisely the point.

It feels polite. It feels normal. Your brain processes it as a social courtesy and moves on — no alarm, no hesitation, no second thought. That instinct is deeply human, and for the most part it serves you well. But it is also the exact mechanism that makes social engineering one of the most effective and consistently underestimated forms of attack in the world today.

Most attackers aren’t trying to break through your firewall. They’re not hunting for unpatched software or exploiting obscure system vulnerabilities. They’re targeting something far more accessible and far harder to patch — your natural tendency to be helpful, trusting, and kind. And that tendency, in the wrong moment, can be more dangerous than any virus or malware ever written. Because no antivirus in existence has found a way to protect against human politeness.

This is exactly how MoMo fraud works in practice. The attack doesn’t begin with a technical breach. It begins with a message — well-crafted, familiar-looking, and designed to feel completely legitimate. Same logo as your bank or telecoms provider. Same tone. Same formatting. It lands in your inbox and tells you your account has been compromised. It tells you the situation is urgent. It tells you to click a link immediately and reset your password before something worse happens.

So you click. You enter your details. And in that single moment — driven entirely by a reasonable, understandable human response to a perceived threat — you have handed your credentials directly to an attacker.

No hacking required. No sophisticated code. Just a message that knew exactly which buttons to press.

In cybersecurity, this specific technique is called smishing — a portmanteau of SMS and phishing. It is one strand of the broader discipline of social engineering: the art of manipulating people rather than systems. Where phishing arrives by email, smishing arrives by text — and it has proven particularly effective in environments where mobile money is deeply embedded in daily financial life, as it is across much of Ghana and West Africa. The familiarity of the MoMo interface, the trust people place in it, and the urgency that fraud messages are designed to manufacture combine into a near-perfect psychological trap.

The defence is not complicated, but it requires a habit of mind that runs slightly against the grain of how most people naturally operate. Legitimate banks and telecoms providers do not send unsolicited messages asking you to click links and enter credentials. They do not manufacture urgency. When in doubt — and especially when a message is generating a feeling of urgency — stop, breathe, and contact your provider directly through a number you already know and trust. Not the number in the message. Not the link in the message.

The door-holder at the mall is almost certainly just being polite. But the text message that looks exactly like your bank? That deserves a second thought.

Will AI Really Fade by 2030 — Or Are We Just Underestimating What Lasts?

There is a school of thought — gaining quiet traction in certain research and investment circles — that artificial intelligence, as a transformative force, will have peaked and plateaued before the end of this decade. That by 2030, the hype will have run its course, the productivity gains will have proven more modest than advertised, and AI will take its place in the long catalogue of technologies that arrived with civilisation-altering promise and settled, eventually, into something more ordinary. The blockchain. The metaverse. Virtual reality. Technologies that consumed enormous capital, generated enormous noise, and then receded into niche utility while the world moved on to the next thing.

It is not an unreasonable position. The history of technology is littered with confident predictions that failed to survive contact with human behaviour, economic reality, and the sheer difficulty of turning capability into adoption at scale. Gartner’s hype cycle has described the arc of enough major technologies accurately enough that applying it to AI is not obviously wrong. The current moment — characterised by extraordinary investment, extraordinary media attention, and a level of institutional confidence in outcomes that have not yet fully materialised — maps uncomfortably cleanly onto the peak of inflated expectations. What follows that peak, historically, is a trough deep enough to bury companies, careers, and entire research programmes.

But the fade thesis, applied to AI, contains an assumption that does not hold up under serious examination. And the assumption is this: that AI belongs in the same category as the technologies it is being compared to.

It does not.

Blockchain was a solution architecture in search of problems that justified its complexity. The metaverse was a vision of human behaviour that turned out not to reflect how people actually want to spend their time. These were platform technologies that required the world to reorganise itself around them — and the world, reasonably, declined. They generated activity without generating the deep structural changes in how economic value is created, captured, and distributed that their proponents promised. The gap between what they could theoretically do and what people actually needed them to do was never convincingly closed.

AI is not waiting for the world to reorganise around it. It is reorganising itself into the world. Drug discovery pipelines are running differently because of it. Legal research, financial modelling, software engineering, materials science, medical diagnostics — not in some projected future state, but now, in production environments, producing measurable changes in output and cost structure. The question is not whether these applications exist. They do. The question is how widely and how quickly their effects will distribute through the broader economy — and whether the gains will remain concentrated among the institutions and individuals with the resources and sophistication to deploy AI meaningfully, or whether they will eventually reach everyone else.

That distribution question is where the honest uncertainty lives. And it is where the observation about most people only scratching the surface becomes the most important thing in this conversation.

The gap between what AI can do and what most people, businesses, and institutions are actually doing with it is not a marketing problem or an awareness problem. It is a structural one. Accessing a large language model is straightforward. Building the workflows, the data infrastructure, the organisational habits, and the domain-specific judgment that makes AI genuinely transformative rather than impressively novel — that is an entirely different order of challenge, and it is one that most of the world has barely begun to address seriously. If AI does fade from the centre of public attention by 2030, the most likely cause is not that the technology stopped developing. It is that the adoption curve proved harder, slower, and more uneven than the hype implied, and the gap between capability and deployment produced the disillusionment that follows every technology the world was promised but not adequately prepared to use.

There is a deeper historical pattern worth naming here. Every significant technology transition — electrification, computing, the internet — followed the same rough arc. The initial hype overstated the short-term impact and understated the long-term one. The trough of disillusionment arrived, was interpreted as evidence that the technology had failed, and then the structural changes it had been quietly making to the foundations of economic and social life became undeniable, usually a decade or more after the peak of the original excitement. The people who had built genuine depth during the disillusionment phase — who had continued working seriously with the technology while the commentary class wrote its obituaries — were not the ones who got left behind.

That is the frame that matters most right now, and it applies directly to the people still scratching the surface.

The window for building meaningful depth is not infinite, but it has not closed. What is closing, gradually and unevenly, is the period in which the foundational advantages are still available to those willing to do the serious work — not the surface engagement of running prompts and sharing outputs, but the deeper engagement of understanding what these systems actually do well, where they fail, how to build around their limitations, and how to direct them toward problems worth solving. That competence, built now, will be worth considerably more when the landscape consolidates than any amount of familiarity with the tools as they exist today.

The fade, if it comes, will not be the end of AI. It will be the beginning of the phase where it stops being a conversation topic and starts being infrastructure — invisible, load-bearing, and owned disproportionately by the people who took it seriously when everyone else was still deciding whether to.
