WRITINGS ON THE WALL

In a world reshaped by artificial intelligence, are we at risk of feeling like impostors in our own lives? In Writings on the Wall: Why Humans May Feel Like Impostors in the World of AI, Dr. Lori A. Sykes-known to many simply as Dr. Lori-explores how the rise of intelligent machines collides with one of the most common psychological struggles: the Impostor Phenomenon (IP). First identified in 1978, IP goes far beyond self-doubt, often leading to anxiety, low self-esteem, and a relentless fear of being found out. Now, as AI takes on roles once reserved for human ingenuity-creativity, problem-solving, even emotional connection-our inner doubts can feel magnified. If technology can do what we do, and sometimes better, where does that leave us? Dr. Lori reframes impostor feelings as a powerful opportunity. Instead of seeing AI as competition, she invites readers to use this moment to redefine resilience, identity, and human purpose. Both thought-provoking and empowering, Writings on the Wall is a guide to transforming self-doubt into strength-and rediscovering what it truly means to be human in the age of intelligent machines.
