It is becoming increasingly difficult to develop truly absurd future scenarios. The saying “If you can dream it, you can do it” is almost becoming a truth with the advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). What we can imagine and describe today is often only one development cycle away. Is this the end of the interaction between science and fiction?
We as humans are facing a new challenge with general artificial intelligence. The question is no longer ob something can be done, but: Want should we continue on this path? Which future is desirable?
These are the questions we are dealing with today our columnist and native Norwegian Anders Indset. He is a founder, investor, author and sometimes rock star. As a former professional handball player and former “hard-core capitalist,” the economic philosopher believes in positive progress and a performance culture rooted in values. In this context he has written several bestsellers. Indset combines social and environmental considerations with market economics and capitalism and has contributed significantly to the conception of the “quantum economy”: a new economic model taken up by the World Economic Forum in Davos.
A new history of humanity
