In a future with digital super-intelligence and humanoid robots, where abundance is possible, the key question is about humanity's sense of purpose and challenge. Just like in video games, humans need goals and struggles to stay engaged. The historical Renaissance was fueled by patrons supporting artists like Michelangelo and Da Vinci, enabling them to focus on their creations. Similarly, AI and robotics can become the patrons of the future by taking over labor tasks, freeing humans to pursue their callings and vocations instead of mere occupations. Embracing one's purpose and contribution to the world, rather than focusing on money, will be the new norm. The essence lies in finding one's gift and giving it away to the world, emphasizing creativity, learning, and meaningful contributions over wealth or status accumulation. With the aid of AI and robotics, humans will have a new canvas to unleash their creativity, from creating 3D worlds to conducting research without worrying about the commercial aspects. This shift is poised to unlock a wave of new breakthroughs.
In this episode, Peter and Alvin discuss how AI and AR will affect all aspects of society in the coming future.
