AI, AGI - Capetown 2055

Capetown 2055
I, Paula, 39, living in Capetown in 2050. People are experiencing a new form of leisure, while personalized Bitnet models illuminate every trace of thought.
2040, Abuse crept in. States used AGI to steer behaviour, more subtly than any propaganda before. Nevertheless, open AI standards strengthened civil rights. Algorithms influence elections, yet tailor-made AI systems enable unprecedented transparency and civic participation.
2035, Automation destroyed routine jobs and created “thinking farms” for creative cooperation. Democracy wavered briefly but stabilized thanks to deliberative platforms that cultivated collective intelligence. Social participation hit new records as AI jobs became affordable for everyone. Professions vanished, new ones emerged, but social inequalities deepened.
2030, AGI passed the Turing test for the first time, shifting moral boundaries.
2028, Neuro-AI merged with brain interfaces, accelerating learning by a factor of 50 — neuroplasticity helped us.
2025: The deep fake revolution threatened trust, yet paradoxically led to radical media literacy.
Today we know: only those who learn to use AI critically remain free. Inspiring? Yes. Evolutionary? Absolutely. A single algorithm can model more empathy than a classroom, but humans will hopefully always remain the guardians of their values.
The journey was turbulent, but humanity has proven itself adaptable.
