“AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future” is a very interesting book. A combination of 10 stories (science fiction), followed by an interpretation. Using 2041 as the lens. The message is that things are going quicker, with a reference to 4 books to proof it.
Science fiction and strategy
Yuval Noah Harari has called science fiction “the most important artistic genre” of our time. It frames our future, and it is increasingly used as a tool for strategy development and scenario planning.
I think it is easiest to cover some of the concepts in the book and let you read the stories yourself:
The Internet of 2020 is almost one trillion times larger than the Internet of 1995.
Using “time well spent” as a metric instead of simple “time spent” as an internet metric.
Fairness and bias issues with AI will require substantial efforts to address them.
ESG AI.
An AI Hippocratic oath.
The use of smart biometrics for criminal investigations and forensics.
