The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recently connected with pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) expert Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China, CEO of Sinovation Ventures, and co-author of the forthcoming book "AI 2041: Ten visions for our future." Here, Lee shares insights on how much – and how deeply – AI could shape our world in the decades to come. Kai-Fu Lee: Classic childhood companions like Barbie or GI Joe – once inanimate objects - will come to life on mobile phone screens, or through virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) glasses. This can help kids learn things in a fun way – like multiplication or division – before going into school. Or recast problems: math equations could become basketball games.
