About this ebook

If you’re looking for a feel-good book about AI, this isn’t it. This book is written by a battle-scared veteran who has been innovating the use of AI in the trenches of Hollywood, healthcare, and defense for over twenty years.

Grounded in the author's extensive experience, this book delivers a quantifiable vision of the near future that presents a uniquely relatable narrative. Using personal ground-breaking projects, he leverages the well-established precision of Moore's Law to trace the trajectory of pivotal AI-driven technologies and project them into our immediate future.


HEALTHCARE

Healthcare is a ravenous beast that gobbles up more of the federal budget than Social Security, Defense, and education combined. Despite the illusion of benevolence, it is this country’s largest industry, with only one edict: “charge as much as the market will bear.” So, before we start lauding the abilities of AI to revolutionize healthcare, let’s take a look at what is really going on.

Moore’s Law indicates that without strategic advances in AI-robotic healthcare, the global healthcare system will collapse in eight years.


AUTONOMOUS LETHALITY

if AI were to take on human form, devoid of morals, unable to experience empathy, and untouched by fear, we would undoubtedly label such a being as an extremely dangerous psychopath. Yet these same attributes conspire to give birth to weaponized autonomy, the new face of armed conflict.

Moore's Law predicts that within the next five years, we will lose control of autonomous lethality as macro drones and bio-bots upend the society’s balance of checks and measures.


HOLOSAPIENS

Soon, many of your favorite people won’t be. The integration of Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Brain Control Interfaces (BCI), and Edge Computing sets the stage for the emergence of Holosapiens. In this era, as AI-driven virtual entities seamlessly weave into our daily lives, offering companionship, assistance, and entertainment in a profoundly interactive and immersive manne

Moore’s Law says that as BCI and Quantum AI continue to develop, we will soon become them - or them us.
