Thomas Fuchs, the Dean of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai in NYC, said AI will be needed to retain the standard of care in the U.S. Ashton Kutcher is betting on artificial intelligence, investing millions in the technology through his investment fund, Sound Ventures, and saying he believes the technology has the potential to change industries from medicine to law. "A lot of people have thought historically about AI as this foreign object that acts upon you," Kutcher said at the Milken Global Institute Monday. "What we're finding right now … is that it's a tool that people can use. And I think that's a really beautiful thing." Ashton Kutcher's'Sound Ventures' has invested millions in artificial intelligence.

Interview In 2008, David Holz co-founded a hardware peripheral firm called Leap Motion. He ran it until last year when he left to create Midjourey. Midjourney in its present form is a social network for creating AI-generated art from a text prompt – type a word or phrase at the input prompt and you'll receive an interesting or perhaps wonderful image on screen after about a minute of computation. It's similar in some respects to OpenAI's DALL-E 2. Midjourney image of the sky and clouds, using the text prompt "All this useless beauty." Both are the result of large AI models trained on vast numbers of images. But Midjourney has its own distinctive style, as can be seen from this Twitter thread.

Oscar Wilde dreamed of a world without work. In The Soul of Man Under Socialism (1891) he imagined a society liberated from drudgery by the machine: "while Humanity will be amusing itself, or enjoying cultivated leisure … or making beautiful things, or reading beautiful things, or simply contemplating the world with admiration and delight, machinery will be doing all the necessary and unpleasant work." This aesthete's Eden prompted one of his most famous observations: "Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at." In Wilde's day the future of work was the first question that every aspiring utopian, from Edward Bellamy to HG Wells, needed to answer.

Dear Everyone, This is part two of Robots, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future. Part two is going to delve into why a highly automated society has all sorts of benefits--even if it creates high unemployment. Technology is the greatest destroyer of jobs since the industrial revolution. With automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence moving into society at an exponential rate, unemployment could hit close to 50%--and that's just in America. Numbers in China could reach an estimated 77%, and 69% in India.
