Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, recently shared his vision that AI could cure all diseases and solve energy crises within the next decade. He also foresees that AI might render many human jobs obsolete as it surpasses human performance across the board.

While this sounds like a sci-fi future, it’s not that far off. As AI continues to advance rapidly, it raises profound questions: • Will AI create a world of radical abundance or one of human obsolescence? • How should we prepare for a society where many traditional jobs might disappear? • What new roles or forms of meaning might emerge for us as humans in an AI-dominated world?

Personally, I wonder if we’re ready — not just in terms of technology, but emotionally and philosophically — to rethink what it means to be human in an age of intelligent machines.

Here’s an interesting article that covers some of these ideas, featuring Demis Hassabis’s thoughts: AI Will Change Everything in the Next 20 Years

Looking forward to your thoughts — what do you see for our future with AI?
