AI is here, and today is the worst it is ever going to be. But there are also over 8 billion human beings, so the biggest question of all is - how are we going to cooperate and even co-exist? Is AI here to take all the jobs or create economic and scientific super-abundance? And for human health, will we all carry a personal AI health agent in our pockets helping us live healthier and happier and prevent disease, and will AI cure every single cancer by 2030?
