AI 2041: Ten Visions for Our Future by Kai-Fu Lee, Chen Qiufan

4.0

How will we "Connect atom to atom instead of bit to bit" in the future of AI?

This was such an incredibly unique concept for a book where someone with tech knowledge worked with a speculative fiction writer to image what the world could look like in 2041 with AI. Each chapter is structured by first having the narrative story followed by an analysis explaining the technology behind the story, how it currently exists, and how it could come to be used in the future.

I connected with some narratives more than others, but even if I didn't get completely immersed in the story, I always found the analysis interesting and insightful. I loved Chapter 4: Contactless Love (about Healthcare/Medicine and connecting with other humans), Chapter 6 :The Holy Driver (about self driving cars) and Chapter 8: The Job Savior (about job displacement) the most.
