And Here's Where it starts:

Enhanced Games 2025?

 

 Look at what’s going on here!

THE BET


"By 2029 no computer - or "machine intelligence" - will have passed the Turing Test."

THE PREDICTOR Mitchell Kapor / THE CHALLENGER Ray Kurzweil

 

The below link takes you to Mitchell Kapor and Ray Kurzweil's in-depth arguments regarding their bet.  

 

What do you think? 

Will 2029 be the year when robots will have the power to outsmart their makers?

Sustained pressures and perceived threats arise from the growing use of Artificial Intelligence and data collection challenge many people today, especially when technology starts knowing more about you than you know about yourself. People feel:

  • Tricked by targeted content: AI uses your data to send you highly tailored ads or content that can feel manipulative, leaving you second-guessing what’s real or what’s just clever marketing.

  • Gullible: Overly advanced ads and fake news make it hard to tell the truth from lies, and that can feel frustrating or even embarrassing.

  • Identity theft fears: With so much personal information floating around, the risk of having your identity stolen is higher, making people feel exposed and insecure.

  • Overwhelmed by too much data: Artificial Intelligence processes massive amounts of data that most people can’t keep up with, leaving them feeling powerless against how their information is used.

 

All this creates a growing sense of mistrust and helplessness around how technology is shaping our daily lives.  

 

In response to this generalised fear, One Week in 2082 is inspirational. Take control to push for better rules, transparency, and education about Artificial Intelligence.

One of my favourite films is Brazil. Take a look at this original trailer for the 1985 film Brazil for a dystopian fantasy black comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam, Charles McKeown, and Tom Stoppard.
