NEWS FROM THE FUTURE | Fake worker, fake job (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five years ago youth unemployment spiked in China, South Africa, most of Europe, and even some US states. It wasn’t just the result of advanced AI and robotics; the trend had been in evidence for some time. For decades everyone assumed all you needed was a college degree to make you employable.

NEWS FROM THE FUTURE: No chip? No job (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Natural humans are at a decided disadvantage these days. Not only are we competing with robots and smart computer systems (no-one talks about AI anymore) but we also have to hold our own against people who have had an “upgrade” ― augmented human beings.

NEWS FROM THE FUTURE: The battle for entertainment dollars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than a century Hollywood knew how to make stars. Silicon Valley knew how to make machines. Today, both are trying to do both. And neither side is enjoying it. The latest skirmish in the battle for consumers’ wallets began recently when several major studios announced plans to pull premium content from AI-powered entertainment platforms. The move follows months of tension over who owns the customer relationship: the company that makes the story or the company that delivers it. Just a few
