Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) stands among the mostconsequential technological shifts of the twenty-first century.This paper traces how generative AI is reshaping the moderncomputing stack at every level, across software development,cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and human-computerinteraction. It examines key risks including hallucination, bias,energy consumption, and intellectual property, and proposes alayered governance framework for responsible deployment. The paperconcludes by examining the emerging Agentic AI horizon and itsimplications for the decade of computing now underway.
