Artificial intelligence will become the defining event of the 21st century. Within two decades, all aspects of everyday life will become unrecognizable. AI will lead to unprecedented wealth, the symbiosis of humans and machines will revolutionize medicine and education, and create entirely new forms of communication and entertainment. However, by freeing us from routine work, AI will also challenge the organizational principles of our economic and social order. AI will bring new risks in the form of autonomous weapons and ambiguous intellectual technologies. AI is at a turning point, and people need to understand both its positive aspects and the existential dangers it may bring.
In this provocative, completely original work by Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China and author of the book "AI Superpowers," he joins forces with renowned novelist Chen Qiufan to present our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten captivating stories, they introduce readers to possible new realities of 2041:
- In San Francisco, the "job redistribution" industry emerges as deep learning AI causes mass job displacement.
- In Tokyo, a music lover immerses in an exciting form of celebrity worship based on virtual and mixed reality.
- In Mumbai, a teenage girl rebels when AI's big data compression interferes with romance.
- In Seoul, virtual companions with advanced natural language processing skills offer orphan twins new ways of communication.
- In Munich, a fraudulent scientist uses quantum computing, computer vision, and other AI technologies in a revenge conspiracy that threatens the world.
Looking at the not-so-distant horizon, AI 2041 offers an urgent understanding of our collective future, reminding readers that ultimately, humanity remains the author of its destiny.
