14、he major trend for technology is that it is getting smarter and smarter, which I call artificial intelligence, AI. The use of AI includes robots that are going to undertake a lot of the tasks that human used to do. It is going to redefine jobs and create more tasks that we had no idea exist. This is

15、 going to bring drastic changes to society for the next 20 years.Of course we already have AI right now and they are working at the background AIs have eyes in the hospital diagnosing X-rays better than human doctors.

16、an human lawyers. For pilots they only work for 7 to 8 minutes when flying a plane because AI is doing the rest of the work. We also have Amazon and Alibaba that provide smart recommendations with AIs at the back offices. AlphaGo also defeated the worlds Go champion. When we play video games we are

17、playing against AIs. Now what Google is doing is trying to teach AIs how to play video games. And with such learning mechanisms, AI was getting smarter and smarter.There are two aspects that is not truly appreciated by humans.

First industrial revolution relied on artificial force. Before the agricultural revolution, all work was

20、 done by human muscle or animal force. It is extremely important that during the first agriculture revolution we utilized steam and fossil fuels to power productivity.

21、us to build sky scrapers and produce massive products in factories that cannot be done by humans.Artificial forces can also go through wires and grid, Connecting homes, factories, and farmlands, that is offered to everyone to buy. And the smartness of artificial intelligence is multiplied by 1 milli
