Document Summary
There are actually less wars and crime than in any other time in the past. We don"t believe this because of media/availability bias. We have more information about what goes on in the world so we assume there are more problems, but in fact we are just more aware of them. Social capital: we spend less time socializing with others. Our alternative energy sources aren"t good enough right now to replace oil. Problem with this is that you must convince politicians that this is a problem and this is the solution. Arithmetic: factor analysis is a sophisticated technique that is practically impossible without ai. Scheduling: similar to technologies used to pack boxes in truck to minimize free space. Search engines: too much of lengthy process for humans. Just because an ai has camera doesn"t mean it can perceive what the camera is filming.
