When this begins to happen, the speed of increasing AI’s intelligence will
be far fasterand produce more change than Moore’s Law
by responding to feedback from sensor networks worldwide,
will accelerate AI’s intelligence worldwide… moment by moment
Artificial Intelligence … that can autonomously “write” and improve its code…

Will 2050 technology begin to leave us behind? Or will we
shake hands, and then merge with Technology?
If you can’t beat ‘em…
why not join ‘em?

Some questions to consider for KT 2050 Scenarios…
![Page 22: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Our eye glasses, microscopes, telescopes have affected our consciousness for years –
How might future technologies affect our consciousness?
![Page 23: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Will we create Floating Vertical Farms and
Carbon Sinks?
(as we have windmills in the oceans today)
![Page 24: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Could the
integration of
synthetic
biology, AI, and
nano-robotic
manufacturing
produce
Vertical Farming,
Carbon Sink,
transportation
structures like
these?

Will we create our own Avatars to be our Cyber-selves?
Could this be our future “immortality” in Cyberspace?
Your own cyber clone?
![Page 26: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Will we Succeed in creating Eco-Smart
Cities and retrofitting cities?
Integrates physics, biology, engineering, archeology, and artificial intelligence
![Page 27: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
And create these?
The DESERTEC 100 GW of solar power throughout Northern Africa for 15% of Europe’s energy demand
Space elevators and Solar Power Satellites
![Page 28: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Robot Farming replacing how many farmers?
This capability exists today.
What integration of nanotech robotics and synthetic biology by 2050?
![Page 29: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
By 2050, could there be more drones then people?
![Page 30: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Will we apply advances in Materials Science to re-build our built environment ?
And produce more “miracles” between 2015 and 2050 than was produced between 1980 and 2014. Today UCLA’s Solar Cell Windows could be used to retro fit buildings for energy production
![Page 31: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
By 2050 everyone is connected to the future Internet and everyone is surrounded by a 9.6 billion person market
Will we teach people to find markets worldwidefor self-employment ?
![Page 32: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
One-Person Businesses
Find markets around the world for what you are interested in doing
not non-existing jobs
What could this looklike in 2050?
![Page 33: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Will synergies among AI, robotics, nanotech, synthetic biology, and quantum computing create more jobs than they eliminate?
If not, then long-term structural unemployment is inevitable, unless we create new concepts of work and possibly guaranteed income for all.

36 Years from Now (2050):
What will be emerging? And from what?
![Page 35: Some Future Significant Technologies by 2050 for EC KT 2050 Scenarios Group](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042614/559b04f61a28ab37638b4580/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
To keep track of it all, and improve foresight,
a European Collective Intelligence System
(E-CIS) is needed that can: 1. make it easier for a “Whole-of-Europe” response to European challenges
2. make trans-disciplinary innovative research easier to accomplish and break down
some of the academic barriers
3. give experts and creative people a common platform to engage in building a
European “brain”
4. increase the internationalization of research as an E-CIS can connect local
challenges with global challenges via other CISs around the world to build –
eventually - global brains for a better civilization
