“Visa, the world’s largest credit card network, can predict how likely you are to get a divorce”.
“New York-based insurer Lemonade employs a chat-bot, “A.I. Jim,” which was recently credited with paying out a claim in under three seconds”.
Knowing the future may not always guarantee you a better life. Everything is moving towards super smart future development. With the deployment of pro-active sensing devices, the ever-growing use of smart phones, the advanced use of digital data analytics and the acceptance of AI – smart living is becoming a reality. Technology disruptors are accelerating their development with less of a focus on the human capacity of socioeconomic adaptability than on their financial interests. Hence it is urgent to find out the more about the future impacts of these technological shifts and their acceptance in order to mitigate unwanted and unforeseen future circumstances and to avoid living the rest of our lives in cities that we would not choose to live in.
