I’ve been working from home today, as usual. Communicating with teammates and clients all day through e-mail exchanges where ideas were discussed, and plans made for coming projects. Regularly, after a series of such days, my employer’s AI system arranges for it’s bank account to send my bank account some money. All good.
Soon, my AI homemaker will sense that I’m getting hungry and that it makes sense since my regular dinner time is coming in a half-hour or so. It will “read” from me that a small pizza from my favorite pizzeria would fit the bill. Knowing that yesterday was payday and that I had extra in my account, it will go ahead and place the order for the pizza to be delivered, transferring the payment at the same time.
Meanwhile, at the pizzeria, the AI team will have received the order, prepared the pizza to my taste, slapped it into a delivery pizza box and sent it on its way in a driverless vehicle, arriving at my door at the perfect time, just when I start to think about how great it would be to have one of those pizzas right about now.
Ding dong. (I probably still have to open the door myself I suppose, assuming I have chosen to keep control of SOMETHING!)
I will eat the pizza.
While that all happens, other computers will be transferring money from my bank to the pizzeria’s bank, some going to the government’s bank of course.
At the end of the year, the pizzeria’s accounting firm’s AI will review all such transactions while checking all the books and accounts, before signing off on the official status of results.
The government’s computers will, of course, receive all this information and incorporate it in the nation’s books.
And so on.
Too soon?
