A bold pop art cartoon in the style of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. The central figure is a human silhouette with a half-machine, half-human face, symbolizing AI integration. Around the figure, colorful comic-style speech bubbles show icons like gears, circuit boards, dollar signs, and community figures. The background is a dotted halftone pattern in vivid colors — red, blue, yellow — with bold black outlines. The mood is thought-provoking yet playful, highlighting the tension between technology, people, and corporate structures.
