“Artificial intelligence may be uniquely susceptible to tricksters…”
If that doesn’t give you story ideas, I don’t know what to tell you.

The experts say the greenhouse gases we’ve put in the atmosphere will affect global climate for the next several centuries. Where will we be 500 years from now, once this pulse of carbon dioxide has been drawn down by the seas and soil? What will the post…

Melding Mind and Machine: How Close Are We?
Just as ancient Greeks fantasized about soaring flight, today’s imaginations dream of melding minds and machines as a remedy to the pesky problem of human mortality. Can the mind connect directly with artificial intelligence, robots and other minds through brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies to transcend our human limitations?

Urban quadcopter taxis will arrive soon. The software for quadcopters is very well-developed and AirBus is betting that the battery energy density is improving fast enough. Expect to see more flying taxis and services within the next few years as the technology is further developed and tested. Especially in LA, where, until last year, all high rises had to have flat-tops and heliports. That rule ironically ended just before this new era!

Rent the movie The President’s Analyst. And see how it is coming true.
The trend of “dematerialization” – where goods, like CDs, first become digital, like MP3s, and then become services, like a Spotify subscription – is strong. But there are still physical things we need to move around, and increasingly it’s looking like they’ll be moved by an automated logistics chain.
It won’t be very long at all until you can order an item online, an automated factory will make it in another country, and automated trucks, ships, and drones will bring it to you – all without a human touching it, or really being aware that your order exists other than as part of a consolidated report.

The direction my thought goes in, as a writer, is: What if you knew 15 years ahead of time that you were going to develop Alzheimer’s?
