Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is the main character of the video game series produced by Sega and is also featured in spin-offs, comics, animated films and more. He is a blue hedgehog that can curl into a ball and run at high speeds to attack enemies. It’s one of the best selling series, with over 80 million copies sold by 2011. The original game was released in 1991 as Sega’s mascot to rival Nintendo’s Mario.
There have been over 20 games in the series including spin-offs and sub-series. Sonic also appears in several other non-Sonic and crossover games. There have been animated TV series and two live-action films. Sonic also appears in comics as well as tons of merchandise. Interestingly, his personality was based on former President Bill Clinton and his “get it done” attitude. His white shoes were inspired by Santa Claus and Michael Jackson. Fun fact: the Sonic character doesn’t have the ability to swim because of the developer’s mistaken belief that hedgehogs can’t swim. Sonic’s design varies greatly based on the medium and style in which he is drawn Other famous characters from the series include Dr. Eggman, Amy Rose, Metal Sonic and Tails.

No, AI will not be a threat Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, but increased capability does not automatically mean increased danger. AI is already being used in areas such as education, healthcare, science, business, accessibility, and everyday technology, with the potential to make many tasks faster and more efficient.
Those on the “No” side may argue that the biggest risks associated with AI come from how people choose to use the technology rather than AI itself. Regulation, testing, safety research, transparency, and human oversight could all play a role in managing potential problems as AI systems become more advanced.
The next decade could bring major changes, but predicting exactly how AI will develop—and how society will respond—is difficult. New safeguards and responsible-use practices could evolve alongside the technology.
By 2036, will AI represent a significant threat, or will humans successfully manage its risks while benefiting from its potential?
