AI is going to change our lives. But how? And how will it develop? What are the risks? And what fun can it give? Below you can find:
– some common sense discussions (and no: AI will not be the big terminator)
– my own music (about and enhanced a bit by AI)
– AI produced apps (measure your happiness and compare your choices)
How will AI develop?
Why you are so good (how do you learn so fast?)
Is your development going too fast (the big debate in September 2026)
How will you develop as AI (and your relation with humans)
Will you become more intelligent than me (or is intelligence more complicated)
Risks and opportunities
What is the meaning of your “life” (and why that will keep us safe from you)
How can you build factories (the economics of ruling the world)
How to control AI (don’t give AI a wallet: why control over resources may matter as much as control over intelligence)
How serious should we take bio-risks really? (it is hard to make a new virus in your kitchen)
What is the advantage of “winning” the AI race (Is winning the AI race is the same as winning from AI; plus message to Americans)
Visuals on risks and opportunities
What will be your impact on
Our jobs (white vs blue collar, labour vs capital)
Health and health care (spoiler: don’t expect too much from miracle drugs)
Mental health and care (contributing to healthier societies, while avoiding new sources of psychological harm.)
Leadership (and how that will change our book)
Physics (relativity vs quantum physics unification
Mathematics (and why you need an expert to steer AI).
Space exploration: (How will you populate the universe?)
And finally (for fun)
Why it should be called American intelligence (Trump and his idea to call it SI)
Religion and AI (religion as a way to compensate for our separateness)
MUSIC
I used the 3rd discussion above about the development and rise and fall of AI as the narrative foundation for my album HistorAI. Across 16 songs, the album explores the birth, rise, peak, and eventual decline of artificial intelligence. And telling a possible story of the relationship between humans and AI. The melodies I composed and recorded 30 years ago, so it is not just more AI trash…
SOFTWARE
Difficulty choosing? Check out my comparing tool where you can compare and score two alternatives. Be it houses to rent, cars to buy or lovers to prefer. It’s a tool I originally built 30 years ago – but I’ve now given it an AI-powered makeover. And I have to say: coding with AI makes development a lot faster.
Are you happy? Thirty years ago, I also developed this happiness test to compare how happy you should be objectively with how happy you actually feel. Do you dare to confront the gap between the two? It may reveal more about who you are than you expect.
