AI will be the defining development of the twenty-first century. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education through human-machine symbiosis, and create brand-new forms of communication and entertainment. In liberating us from routine work, however, AI will also challenge the organizing principles of our economic and social order. Meanwhile, AI will bring new risks in the form of autonomous weapons and smart technology that inherits human bias. AI is at a tipping point, and people need to wake up-both to AI's radiant pathways and its existential perils for life as we know it.
In this provocative, utterly original work, Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Google China and bestselling author of AI Superpowers, teams up with celebrated novelist Chen Qiufan to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping short stories, they introduce readers to an array of eye-opening 2041 settings, such as:
* In San Francisco, the "job reallocation" industry emerges as deep learning AIcauses widespread job displacement
* In Tokyo, a music fan is swept up in an immersive form of celebrity worship based on virtual reality and mixed reality
* In Mumbai, a teenage girl rebels when AI's crunching of big data gets in the way of romance
* In Seoul, virtual companions with perfected natural language processing (NLP) skills offer orphaned twins new ways to connect
* In Munich, a rogue scientist draws on quantum computing, computer vision and other AI technologies in a revenge Description that imperils the world
By gazing toward a not-so-distant horizon, AI 2041 offers urgent insights into our collective future-while reminding readers that, ultimately, humankind remains the author of its destiny.
