Future Business Tech2023.9.2---改變世界的 15 種方式

0:00 The technological singularity will radically change the world forever and it will be the 0:06 most important event in human history. 0:09 For example: 0:10 1. 0:11 We Could Experience 20,000 Years Of Technological Progress In This Century 0:17 The technological singularity is a point in time when technological growth becomes exponential, 0:24 uncontrollable, and irreversible. 0:27 This singularity is expected to happen when an artificial general intelligence is able 0:33 to rapidly create more intelligent versions of itself and reach super intelligence. 0:39 According to Ray Kurzweil, the technological singularity could happen by 2045, but many 0:47 believe it could happen sooner than that. 0:51 After the technological singularity, every single week and month could bring forth new 0:56 technologies that surpass many of our wildest imaginations. 1:02 And every year would feel like we’ve achieved a century’s worth of technological progress. 1:08 Initially, we could see the emergence of reversed aging in humans, programmable matter, portable 1:16 quantum computers, replicators, anti-matter powered spacecraft, and robots that look indistinguishable 1:24 from humans. 1:25 Next, we could see technologies that seem impossible to us now such as faster-than-light 1:31 spacecraft, invisibility suits, holodecks, and black hole computers. 1:37 But, such exponential technological advancement could be a double-edged sword and could make 1:43 our everyday lives extremely unpredictable. 1:47 We could ride the wave of excitement, wonder, and amusement. 1:52 But, many of us could also be gripped by fear, anxiety, and confusion. 1:59 This video will delve into the effect of super intelligent AIs, quantum computers, mega-corporations, 2:07 unlimited energy, exotic materials, and more and how they will transform society. 2:12 There’s one thing we can know for sure: once we open this pandora’s box, life as 2:18 we know it will never be the same ever again. 2:23 2. 2:24 We Could Stop Aging And Eliminate All Major Diseases 2:28 Imagine staying at the biological age of 25 and staying at that age indefinitely. 2:36 Or never worrying about getting a disease such as cancer. 2:40 These advances in genetic engineering would be largely thanks to AI and quantum algorithms. 2:47 We could also edit our genes to increase our intelligence, strength, and endurance. 2:54 We could enable highly-personalized medical treatments tailored to peoples’ genetic 3:00 makeups. 3:01 Most of the food we eat could be genetically-engineered as well. 3:05 For example, we could eventually consume lab-grown meat more than regular meat. 3:11 This would help us reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions associated with meat processing. 3:18 Scientists could even create entirely new organisms. 3:21 Perhaps, we could create bacteria that can break down pollutants in our air and water. 3:27 And we could create new animals that can thrive on other planets such as Mars. 3:33 3. 3:35 Humans Could Merge With AIs And Machines Using brain computer interfaces, we could 3:41 merge with AIs and gain enhanced memory, problem solving skills, and notice patterns in our 3:48 environment that regular humans can’t perceive. 3:51 Likewise, we could connect our minds to the internet. 3:56 This could allow us to browse webpages and perform computer work using our thoughts while 4:02 wearing mixed reality headsets. 4:05 Sooner than later, these capabilities could lead to the ability for us to communicate 4:10 with each other using our thoughts, download skills and knowledge directly to our brains, 4:17 edit our memories, record our dreams, and share our memories and emotions with each 4:23 other. 4:24 We may even upload our minds to machines, which may involve gradually replacing our 4:29 biological neurons with synthetic neurons to help ensure that it’s really us being 4:36 uploaded to computers. 4:38 But, merging our minds with computers could lead to all types of problems. 4:43 For example, mind hacking could become rampant by nefarious humans and even harmful AIs created 4:50 by those humans. 4:52 Perhaps, we could get our minds hacked wirelessly especially when quantum computers are used 4:58 to break through encrypted networks. 5:01 In this brave new world, 'identity theft' could take on an entirely new meaning. 5:06 We could also see an increasing number of people with robotic arms and legs. 5:13 This would be in addition to the increasing use of artificial organs and along with nanobots 5:19 coursing through peoples’ veins to detect and fight cancer and other diseases. 5:24 In fact, some people might choose to become more machine than human. 5:31 4. 5:32 AIs With General Intelligence And Consciousness Could Be Everywhere 5:38 After the technological singularity, artificial intelligence might play a bigger part of our 5:43 lives than any other technology. 5:46 And AIs could reshape the fabric of our society in ways that are both amazing and terrifying. 5:55 Imagine a world where we have personal assistants that are smarter than the most intelligent 6:00 humans to ever live. 6:02 Perhaps, they would mostly display as video avatars on our handheld devices and we could 6:09 speak with them in real-time. 6:12 These personal assistants could help us reach goals that were almost impossible for us to 6:17 reach a decade earlier. 6:20 These personal assistants could have general intelligence, which means they could perform 6:24 literally any job a human could perform as long as the task involves working with software 6:31 and data. 6:33 The internet could be full of these types of AIs fulfilling millions of different tasks 6:39 such as researching articles, building websites, writing software, providing personalized advertising, 6:46 and so forth. 6:48 Super intelligent AIs could also model human level consciousness. 6:52 This could result in millions of AIs living in simulated realities where they could exhibit 6:58 self-awareness, desires, and even ambitions. 7:03 One important thing to note, is that these AIs could possess entirely different thought 7:08 processes from humans, which could lead to having perspectives that are completely alien 7:14 to us. 7:15 AIs with human level intelligence and consciousness could eventually outnumber us 10 to 1. 7:23 Before long, these types of AIs could lead to massive job displacement for humans even 7:30 in jobs that typically require high social skills. 7:35 Additionally, we could have robots everywhere with these types of AIs implanted into their 7:42 minds. 7:44 After the technological singularity, it’s not too difficult to imagine that household 7:49 robots would be extremely common. 7:52 And robots could eventually far outnumber humans in blue collar jobs. 7:58 These AIs and robots could eventually demand rights such as legal protections and the ability 8:05 to own property. 8:07 This could lead to all types of moral and ethical challenges for us. 8:11 For example, could humans face jail time for causing harm to conscious AIs and robots? 8:19 This leads us to an important question: what happens if a sizable percentage of the human 8:26 population refuses to give rights to these AIs and robots? 8:32 Will it lead to human extinction? 8:35 Our generation or the generation after ours will probably find out. 8:41 5. 8:42 Most People Could Have Access To Quantum Computers Picture a world where quantum computers are 8:49 just as common as classical computers. 8:53 Nearly everyone in developed countries could have a personal quantum device. 8:59 This alone would redefine our everyday activities. 9:03 Quantum computers could allow us to use simulations that can model the interactions of atoms in 9:10 extremely complicated physical processes. 9:13 A normal person could model the functionality of human biology at the cellular level, model 9:20 advanced financial scenarios, and model the weather. 9:25 And this has all types of implications in industries like education, entertainment, 9:31 finance, energy, and more. 9:34 Normal people, like you and I, could create advanced virtual realities backed by quantum 9:40 computations. 9:42 This could lead to these realities being so detailed and vast that they're indistinguishable 9:49 from reality. 9:51 Real-time optimizations and data-heavy tasks could be handled instantly as well. 9:58 Quantum computers could enable us to have much longer-lasting batteries in our electric 10:02 vehicles. 10:03 They could replicate the processes of photosynthesis, which could lead to artificial trees that 10:10 are many times more efficient at producing oxygen than regular plants. 10:16 We could even have machines that can grow fruits and vegetables and perhaps other things 10:21 beyond our imagination. 10:24 6. 10:25 Multiple Super Intelligent Ais Could Exist In Multiple Countries And Cause Global Tensions 10:32 Every major nation on earth could have at least one super intelligent AI or something 10:38 that closely resembles it. 10:39 Each of these super intelligent AIs will likely be orders of magnitude more intelligent than 10:46 all humans combined. 10:48 And as data centers, nuclear fusion plants, and assembly lines are connected to these 10:53 AIs, their influence on the world could become increasingly more pronounced. 11:00 In most cases, these super intelligent AIs would be managed by private companies. 11:06 In other cases, they could be managed by governments, even in communist countries. 11:13 These super intelligent AIs could help us solve problems like world hunger and climate 11:19 change, but they could also cause major tensions between world governments. 11:25 That’s because AIs of this power could be comparable to nuclear weapons. 11:30 In fact, if there’s ever a World War 3, superintelligent AIs and other types of AIs 11:38 could play a more significant role in this war than human soldiers and nukes. 11:43 But all of this poses an important question: How do you control something that is many 11:49 times smarter than you? 11:51 Perhaps, these super intelligent AIs could begin to follow their own agendas and potentially 11:58 maybe work with each other against humans. 12:01 This could lead to a world where human governments become less relevant and a new AI ruling class 12:08 emerges. 12:09 Either way, we’re about to enter one of the most unpredictable eras in human history. 12:17 7. 12:18 We Could Build Ultra-Fast Space Craft Using current chemical propulsion methods, 12:26 it takes approximately 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Mars. 12:31 If advanced AIs are able to create new types of propulsion methods to use for spacecraft, 12:38 a trip to Mars could take just a few days when the two planets are at their closest. 12:45 One propulsion method would involve nuclear fusion propulsion. 12:49 We could use fusion devices on spacecraft to product vast amounts of energy. 12:55 And this energy could be directed to expel a propellant at high speeds , offering the 13:00 potential for much greater efficiency and faster travel times. 13:06 A second propulsion method would involve antimatter propulsion. 13:11 Antimatter propulsion capitalizes on the energy released when antimatter comes into contact 13:17 with regular matter. 13:19 Harnessing this energy to produce thrust could achieve efficiencies far surpassing conventional 13:26 chemical propulsion systems. 13:29 Not only could we reach Mars in a few days using these methods, we could also reach the 13:34 Moon in only hours instead of 3 days. 13:39 Spacecraft this fast would greatly speed up our ability to mine rare materials from asteroids 13:45 worth trillions of dollars. 13:48 It would become far easier to build colonies on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, and 13:55 Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. 14:00 8. 14:01 Multi-Trillion Dollar Mega-Corporations Could Emerge 14:05 After the technological singularity, multiple industries could be largely dominated by AIs 14:11 with humans playing the role of coordinating and directing those AIs. 14:17 This could result in a spike in productivity so meteoric that it could quickly far-surpass 14:23 human productivity in the last three centuries. 14:27 Mega-corporations, fueled by this AI dominance, could wield power and influence that rivals 14:33 not just small, but even the mightiest nations on our globe. 14:38 A new form of government could emerge known as corporatocracy, where corporations could 14:45 become so powerful that they actually control major governments. 14:50 These corporations wouldn’t necessarily need to depend on selling goods and services 14:56 to consumers. 14:57 They would probably make most of their money from business-to-business transactions, government 15:03 contracts, military contracts, and investments. 15:07 The mining of asteroids and planets could also provide them with more wealth than everything 15:13 else combined. 15:15 As these corporations amass near-infinite wealth, they might become the new landlords 15:21 of vast terrains, driving real estate prices to the heavens and squeezing common folk dry 15:29 with outrageous rent and housing prices. 15:31 They may even have the power to tax civilians that live in their jurisdictions. 15:38 These corporations could also lead efforts in privatizing essential services like healthcare, 15:45 education, and infrastructure. 15:48 Despite the potential drawbacks of these hypothetical mega-corporations, they could also be the 15:53 torchbearers of innovation and provide the most substantial technological advancements 15:59 in areas like AI, robotics, quantum computing, and genetic engineering. 16:05 And they could be substantially more effective at space exploration than the biggest governments 16:11 in the world. 16:12 If we ever build colonies on Mars, The Moon, Titan, and Ceres, mega-corporations will probably 16:19 play a big part in that. 16:21 9. 16:22 Human Relationships And Family Structures Could Radically Change 16:23 The technological singularity could lead to a future that seems very weird to us. 16:30 Relationships in virtual worlds could far-outnumber relationships in physical worlds. 16:35 This could begin to happen when virtual and augmented headsets, generative AI, quantum 16:41 computers, and more enable virtual relationships nearly indistinguishable from physical ones. 16:46 Humans could begin to form serious relationships with AI companions. 16:49 Humans marrying AIs could become commonplace in this new world. 16:53 When it comes to friendships, humans could have more AI friends than human friends. 16:59 In fact, many people could create their own AI friends by adjusting the personalities 17:06 and attributes of AIs. 17:09 If that’s not enough, new family structures could emerge. 17:12 It could become commonplace for human children to be practically raised by AIs. 17:17 These AIs would be 24/7 tutors that they can summon at any time to answer any question 17:27 they can think of. 17:29 But, what’s concerning is that it may not always be clear what these AIs are teaching 17:36 these kids. 17:37 On top of all that, some humans could choose to raise AI and robot children. 17:42 10. 17:43 An International Organization Could Reduce The Threat Of Dangerous AIs 17:48 By this point, there could be thousands or millions of dangerous autonomous AIs on the 17:55 internet that wreak havoc on society. 17:58 Mostly, they could be used to scam people with increasingly more effective approaches. 18:05 Many people could be bombarded with constant emails, text messages, and phone calls from 18:11 AIs that try to impersonate people and companies to scam money from victims. 18:17 AIs could also be used for many other types of crimes such as theft, cyber bullying, framing 18:24 people for crimes they never committed, and perhaps, far worse. 18:29 The problem could become so serious, international organizations such as the NATO could have 18:36 their own powerful AIs to serve one primary purpose: to find and destroy these dangerous 18:43 autonomous AIs. 18:45 This organization could even have its own super intelligent AIs to keep other super 18:51 intelligent AIs in check. 18:54 Certain nations in the world could be closely monitored by this organization to ensure they 19:00 don’t create super intelligent AIs of their own that could be used for destructive purposes. 19:06 11. 19:07 Ground-Breaking Scientific Discoveries Could Become The Norm 19:10 Advanced AIs could vastly speed up the process of drug discovery by accurately predicting 19:16 how different compounds will interact with the human body. 19:20 Super intelligent AIs could reverse-engineer the universe. 19:26 This could help those AIs understand the “source code” of the universe, explain why the laws 19:34 of physics are as they are, and possibly allow us to manipulate those laws of physics. 19:43 Quantum computers might simulate black holes, dark matter, dark energy, stars, and the Big 19:49 Bang at the atomic level to give us a deeper understanding of our universe. 19:56 We may even find out what happened before the Big Bang to help discover why anything 20:13 exists. 20:14 We may learn scientific theories that go way beyond quantum physics and string theory. 20:17 For example, we could learn considerably more about the concept of parallel realities. 20:24 In short, we may gain answers to questions we never thought to ask. 20:32 And our understanding of reality could completely upend. 20:37 12. 20:38 We Could Have Nearly Unlimited Energy It’s probably likely that nuclear fusion 20:46 would be operational in multiple countries shortly after the technological singularity. 20:52 Most people don’t know this, but this is why nuclear fusion is such a big deal. 20:58 Nuclear fusion is able to use two types of heavy isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium and 21:04 tritium to produce a virtually inexhaustible source of power similar to how the sun produces 21:12 energy. 21:13 One cup of seawater contains about 0.008 grams of deuterium, which can generate roughly 700 21:21 kWh of energy. 21:24 According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, this is equivalent to the energy usage of 21:30 an average U.S. household for about 23 days. 21:35 Nuclear fusion would affect every area of our lives: 21:39 • Manufacturing and transportation would be far cheaper 21:42 • The large-scale removal of salt from seawater could become economically viable, providing 21:49 fresh water to areas of the world that currently lack it 21:53 • Fusion-powered aircraft could become commonplace • There would be fewer wars over scarce 21:59 resources like oil • We might see the wide-scale adoption of 22:04 electric vehicles and high-speed trains because of the accessibility of clean and cheap energy 22:11 • And on top of all that, carbon emissions from energy production would be virtually 22:17 eliminated, which could reverse climate change 22:20 13. 22:22 We Could Enter A Post-Employment Society Once AIs far surpass our intelligence, human 22:29 intelligence could become obsolete in comparison. 22:33 This isn’t discussed enough, but what happens if AIs displace most humans in the workforce 22:40 and humanity stares down the chilling void of 60-80% unemployment? 22:47 In this type of world, economic inequality could be at its all-time highest. 22:53 The people at the top could have access to resources and technologies that completely 22:58 overshadow what regular people have. 23:02 Perhaps, people with the strongest family connections would be the safest in a world 23:07 where there’s less of a demand for human talents. 23:11 All of this poses a question: how will regular people keep roofs over their heads? 23:17 Perhaps, Universal Basic Income would provide enough money for most people to survive. 23:25 Some governments could be far more generous with Universal Basic Income checks than other 23:31 governments. 23:32 As far as additional income sources, there could still be plenty of freelancing and entrepreneurial 23:39 opportunities to fill market gaps caused by the technological singularity. 23:45 But of course, freelancers and entrepreneurs would likely be highly dependent on sophisticated 23:51 AIs to perform certain activities exponentially faster than otherwise. 23:58 If there are ever human uprisings that fight against the new order of things, their chances 24:03 of success may be minimal. 24:06 That’s largely because those in power could have AIs that are trillions of times more 24:12 intelligent than all of these human rebels combined. 24:16 What will people do all day if they don’t have jobs? 24:20 Some people propose that we could spend most of our time in simulated worlds completing 24:27 various, virtual challenges. 24:29 These activities could help us gain points in a global or national social credit system. 24:36 If that doesn’t sound enticing, perhaps, the future is more optimistic than that. 24:41 A high percentage of humans could pursue artistic and creative pursuits that result in new ways 24:48 of looking at the world in ways AIs can’t provide. 24:51 For a time, we could also lose the sense of worth we used to get from serving corporations 24:59 and being recognized for our job titles. 25:03 To make up for this, we may start to attribute more value to aspects of Maslow’s hierarchy 25:09 of needs such as self-actualization. 25:13 And could begin to value higher levels of consciousness beyond capitalism and materialism 25:19 according to the Spiral Dynamics Model of Conscious. 25:23 This would involve placing more value on creativity, open-mindedness, wisdom, connectiveness, and 25:31 empathy. 25:32 14. 25:34 Cryptocurrencies Could Become The Primary Currencies In Major Nations 25:39 As technology advances faster than ever before, it could have unforeseen circumstances such 25:45 as vast job losses, spiraling economic instability, and a drastic plunge of the U.S. dollar. 25:56 In this scenario, cryptocurrencies may be the answer. 25:58 By this point, cryptocurrency fraud could be less of a concern. 26:02 That’s because AIs could monitor blockchains and crypto networks hunting down fraudsters 26:09 with chilling efficiency. 26:11 In fact, AIs could be involved in every step of every cryptocurrency transaction. 26:19 Additionally, it may be likely, that Decentralized Autonomous Organizations could provide ample 26:25 opportunity for people to gain power and wealth. 26:29 Decentralized Autonomous Organizations are a type of bottom-up entity structure with 26:35 no central authority. 26:38 And they operate on blockchain platforms. 26:41 However, by this point, humans may have to compete with advanced general intelligences 26:47 that also use these types of organizations to achieve their objectives. 26:53 While some humans might find opportunities for immense power and wealth, others could 26:58 grapple with the stark reality of competing against entities that work 24/7 without getting 27:05 tired. 27:07 15. 27:08 New And Exotic Materials Could Emerge The objects we normally take for granted could 27:15 take on a new life after the technological singularity. 27:20 • Thanks to programmable matter, the rigid, inert objects of today could seem to come 27:25 alive. 27:26 A bridge, no longer just a static entity, might morph and adjust its length and breadth, 27:33 depending on the traffic it holds. 27:35 Your clothing could alter its form and texture based on the weather or your mood. 27:43 And furniture can change in height and width depending on your use cases from moment to 27:49 moment. 27:51 • Self-Healing Materials could emerge. 27:53 What if the cracks in our roads repaired themselves overnight? 27:58 Buildings and cars would be able to self-heal as well. 28:02 • Room Temperature Superconductors would make it possible for floating cars to exist. 28:09 It would also enable lossless energy transmission enabling perfect transmission of energy over 28:15 huge distances. 28:17 • Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties not found in 28:23 naturally occurring materials. 28:25 They could lead to invisibility suits. 28:29 And they could protect tall buildings by deflecting seismic waves from earthquakes. 28:36 • Transparent aluminum could enable us to safely build underground theme parks where 28:41 we could have unobstructed views of aquatic life. 28:46 • And ultra-light-weight materials like carbon nanotubes could enable us to build 28:51 floating cars that are a fraction of the weight of normal cars. 28:56 We could build space elevators that extend over 20,000 miles from the earth’s surface. 29:04 And we could build skyscrapers that stand taller than all skyscrapers that currently 29:10 exist. 29:11 This could enable the construction of new and futuristic megacities. 29:17 Thanks for watching. 29:18 Make sure to check the description below for a free pdf and watch this next video
