“As smart gets smarter, we will trust AIs to fill our fridges, plan our holidays” Decisions, decisions... in a world of unending choice we are faced with between 2,500 and 10,000 decisions to make every day. It’s a tremendous mental burden, and we’ve all been stung by not getting it right – by picking the wrong dish from the menu, the wrong person to date.
But imagine if a computer could know your complete history, all your likes, dislikes, fears, foibles, hopes and dreams, and feed this to an artificial intelligence with more brainpower than you could ever dream of, so smart that it would always make the right decision. How much of your life would you be willing to let it control?
This is the bargain at the heart…
