In this provocative, utterly original work of 'scientific fiction,' Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Google China and bestselling author of AI Superpowers, joins forces with celebrated novelist Chen Qiufan to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. AI is at a tipping point, and people need to wake up-both to AI's radiant pathways and its existential perils for life as we know it.

Meanwhile, AI will bring new risks in the form of autonomous weapons and smart technology that inherits human bias.

AI will generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionize medicine and education through human-machine symbiosis, and create brand new forms of communication and entertainment. Within two decades, aspects of daily human life will be unrecognizable. Product DescriptionIn this ground-breaking blend of imaginative storytelling and scientific forecasting, a pioneering AI expert and a leading writer of speculative fiction join forces to answer an imperative question: How will artificial intelligence change our world within twenty years?AI will be the defining development of the twenty-first century.
