As European who’s been living in California for 13 years, this is still mostly how I feel.
And this is also how I feel about the future of work.
Let me explain why.
As a consequence it is anticipated that significant parts of knowledge jobs will be automated and delegated to machines, as shown in a study at Oxford University
When even layers become augmented through AI, it really becomes an unwinnable argument.
IN 2020, THREE speakers will appear onstage to deliver a TED talk and compete for $5 million. But these presenters will share a unique characteristic that sets them apart from TED talkers who came before them: They won’t be human.
Instead, the talks will be delivered by artificially intelligent systems, all of them finalists in a newly announced XPRIZE for cognitive computing.
There was a time when a great brand could be considered your best friend — someone who was a close confidante, even part of your family. In the future, the hallmark of a great brand will be that it’s your best robot. The term “post-human brand” was recently introduced by Tracy Follows in the Guardian. She characterizes it as “the augmented human” that is “tracking, hacking, monitoring, predicting, augmenting, creating, and recording us and our surrounding environment to improve, augment, or enhance our health and wellbeing.”
Fueled by our personal data, the post-human brand harvests our cognitive and mental energy like in The Matrix. It is the “experience machine” that we can program according to our needs and that might eventually program us. It analyzes, maximizes, and optimizes in real-time, and it knows what we want before we even know it.
At first glance, this seems counterintuitive. In our age, comfort is king. Software has made us softer.
Instant gratification and total convenience have become the default modes of interaction.
And soon Amazon (or Uber) drones will instantly deliver all that we desire to our doorstep.
.
.
In fact, there’s even one to track and optimize our performance in bed.
And soon we will fall in love with our operating systems.
“The great question isn’t whether machines can think, but whether human beings can still feel.” Manohla Dargis pointed out in a New York Times review of the movie Her.
Everything is outsourced and automated, familiar and convenient. Where do we find those unexpected and profound experiences that punctuate our lives? Where is the unknown, where are the strangers? Where is the magic?
We are at risk of engineering the romance out of our lives: the ultimate differential in a world of maximizers and optimizers.
