AI 2041
Spoiler: AI is going to change the world.
I recently read “AI 2041” and LOVED it! The book tells 10 short stories that show a glimpse of what a world full of advanced AI could look like.
What if an insurance company had access to your live bio-metric, social, and personal data? What if your insurance company sends you a notification that they’ll lower your premium for the month if you take a 2 mile walk RIGHT NOW? What if your insurance company offered you a lower rate, but you had to leave the bar your hanging out in with your friends RIGHT NOW? What if your insurance company encouraged you to leave your mate because they’ve ran the data and know that statistically, the likelihood of this relationship working out is slim and ultimately unhealthy for you…
Every story really is a mind-fuck - I LOVE IT!
Some are scary, some are hopeful, but all are likely to come true ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you’ve ready it, or are planning to read it, let me know what you think!
