AI: first, let’s forget most of what we’ve seen in Hollywood movies*
Humanity will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years
Intelligent Assistance Augmentation Amplification
“Human Longevity, Inc (HLI). Today there are six to seven trillion dollars a year spent on healthcare, half of which goes to people over the age of 65. In
addition, people over the age of 65 hold something on the order of $60 trillion in wealth. And the question is what would people pay for an extra 10,
20, 30, 40 years of healthy life. It’s a huge opportunity” Our Exciting, Weird, and Scary Future: Q&A With Peter Diamandis

Technology does not have ethics
Consciousness ? Embodiment? Awareness? Sentience? Purpose?

Everything that can be automated… will be. Everything else will explode in value
Human existence is a lot more than this

The Human Imperative
“A Columbia University study suggested that with a
fleet of just 9,000 autonomous cars, Uber could replace every taxi
cab in New York City, and that passengers would wait an average of 36 seconds for a ride that
costs about $0.50 per mile”
Most things that are disrupted (i.e. made faster, easier, cheaper or more efficient) by technology will also need to be re-constructed to retain humanity
