AI s Readiness to Transform the Future
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform every industry and create significant economic value. The impact of AI on our daily lives cannot be ignored. From smartphones to smart devices, Google, and social media—there is hardly any industry or sector that does not utilize AI.
In recent years, the patenting of AI has experienced tremendous growth. According to
PwC, by 2030, the global GDP impact of AI will be $15.7 trillion. The Director General of the
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Francis Gurry, says, “We can expect new AI-based products, applications, and technologies that will change our daily lives and also shape the future of human interaction with the machines we have created.”
Industries such as transportation, education, healthcare, and financial services are adopting AI the fastest.
Development of Artificial Intelligence
The development of Artificial Intelligence has already impacted our daily lives. You may have heard negative predictions about AI made by scientists such as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk.
Pew Research Center surveyed about 979 technology experts to find out whether AI and related technologies will help or harm humanity. 63% of respondents hoped that by 2030, we would have a better future. Many of them stated that everything will be fine only if the responsible authorities carefully study how these tools, platforms, and networks are designed, distributed, and updated.
The survey revealed the following concerns about the impact of AI:
1. Individuals will lose control over their lives due to AI use.
2. Surveillance and data systems that prioritize efficiency over human well-being.
3. AI will lead to millions of people becoming unemployed, causing economic and social issues.
4. As people continue to rely on AI, their cognitive, social, and survival skills will diminish.
5. Cybercrime threats will emerge, revealing new vulnerabilities in systems.
By 2030, interactions with AIs in our daily lives will become as natural as with other people today.
Although the entire world is actively discussing AI, full-fledged interaction with AI systems is still limited.
By 2030, this situation will dramatically change.
We will use AIs as our personal assistants, teachers, career consultants, therapists, accountants, and lawyers.
They will be everywhere in our work lives: conducting analyses, writing code, creating products, selling, providing customer support, coordinating teams and organizations, and making strategic decisions.
And yes—by 2030, it will be common for people to have AIs as significant others.
Like any new technology, AI adaptation will happen gradually. Some parts of the population will more easily adapt to their new AI partners, while others will resist for a longer time. The spread of AIs in our society will occur as famously described by Ernest Hemingway about how people go bankrupt: “Gradually, then suddenly.”
This transitional process will be inevitable because AI can do more than people can today, just more cheaply, quickly, and reliably.
