What will AI bring in the next 10 years? More.

If you want to know what artificial intelligence (AI) will bring in the next 10 years, the answer is simple: more. AI will expand everything that exists today. Everything that is "good" and everything that is "bad" will expand and increase with the help of AI. 

AI is the new industrial revolution. If you want to predict how AI will change the human world, learn as much as you can about how the industrial revolution changed the world. 

Economic Impact of the Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution, which began in the 18th century, began a transition from agrarian societies to industrial ones. 

1. Increased Production and Efficiency:

• The introduction of machinery and new production techniques, such as the factory system, allowed for mass production. This increased efficiency and lowered the costs of goods.

2 Job Creation:

• Machines eliminated jobs, and created even more jobs. New industries created a wide range of jobs, leading to increased employment opportunities. 

3. Economic Growth:

• The Industrial Revolution contributed to significant economic growth in industrialized nations. Early adaptors like Great Britain and the United States experienced rapid increases in production, economic trade, and resultant wealth.

4. Global Trade Expansion:

• Increased production capabilities led to an expansion of global trade. Countries began to export manufactured goods, while importing raw materials, leading to a more interconnected global economy.

5. Rise of Capitalism:

• The Industrial Revolution facilitated the growth of capitalist economies. Entrepreneurs and industrialists amassed wealth, leading to the development of investment markets and banking systems.

Broader Social Impacts of the Industrial Revolution

1. Technological Advancements:

• Innovations such as the steam engine, spinning jenny, power loom, and later electricity transformed industries and daily life, paving the way for further technological progress.

2. Urbanization:

• As factories emerged, people migrated from rural areas to urban centers to work. This led to rapid urbanization and the growth of cities, fundamentally altering population distribution and lifestyle.

3. Education:

• Increased demand for skilled labor led to greater emphasis on education and literacy, contributing to higher overall educational standards. The field of engineering (applied science) began to flourish.

4. Middle Class:

• The Industrial Revolution altered social structures, with a new middle class emerging alongside the working class. Traditional family roles and community dynamics began to change.

5. Labor Movements:

• The harsh realities of factory work and the need for workers led to the formation of labor unions and movements advocating for workers' rights, better wages, and improved working conditions.

6. Environmental Impact:

• Industrialization led to significant environmental changes, including deforestation, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources. Urban areas faced challenges related to sanitation and public health.

7. Inequality:

• While some regions industrialized rapidly, others remained agrarian, leading to disparities in wealth and military power. Colonization and imperialism often accompanied industrial expansion, impacting societies around the world to this day.

The Industrial Revolution was a transformative period that reshaped economies, societies, and cultures around the world. Its effects are still felt today, as the transition to industrialized economies laid the foundation for modern economic systems, technological advancements, and global interconnectedness. While it brought about significant progress and innovation, it also introduced challenges that continue to influence discussions on labor rights, environmental sustainability, and social equity.

The AI Revolution: The Second Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution was about machines. The AI Revolution is about intelligent machines. To some extent, the AI Revolution is simply a continuation of the Industrial Revolution, or a second industrial revolution. 

Everything in this universe is energy, which is the capacity to do work (i.e. turn input into output). Life is a cellular revolution. Humans and all other living organisms are organic machines composed of biological cells. Each biological cell is a mini machine turning input into output. Complex networks of biological cells form the interesting phenomena known as life. 

Humans invented industrial machines capable of doing work, turning input into output, at speeds and scales that mimic and surpass the work that humans and other animals can do. Now humans have created intelligent machines capable of processing information, turning data input into output, in ways that mimic and surpass the human data processing work that humans can do. 

AI machines can now accept input in natural human language form, and process it a way that mimic and surpasses human intelligence. Humans process information neurally to identify correlations from which to make predictions. AI can do that now as well and better than humans. 

Humans will use AI machines for everything and more. That means that every single human activity that exists today will be done by or with the assistance of AI. In addition, many new activities that do not exist today, that have not been invented yet, will be invented in the future. The best is yet to come. Also the worst. There will be more of everything, more of the "good" and more of the "bad". The world will keep spinning. Life will go on.

Now you know.

Live well. Die better. Enjoy.
