"By blending imaginative storytelling and technical expertise, Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan bring to life a vision for AI that addresses both our curiosity and our fears. Read this captivating book to better understand how and when certain technologies are likely to mature, and what that could mean for all of us." --Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft "We have reached a momentous inflection point with AI, and no other book I've read captures it with such stunning insight and imagination. Instead of wondering whether to trust AI, we must think of it as a tool--one that we humans are in charge of shaping. Kai-Fu Lee's brilliant analysis in AI 2041 embodies this urgent mandate for humanity, while Chen Qiufan's gripping stories reveal how AI can become a bridge between previously unsolvable problems and a future of new possibilities." --Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive Global "An invaluable and entertaining vision of the future." --Ray Dalio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Principles " AI 2041 is the perfect fusion of science and fiction, illuminating the pervasive impact artificial intelligence will have in our lives and the challenges we face in shaping a techno-future that benefits all of humanity." --Marc Benioff, chair and CEO, Salesforce "Applying AI to business usually means learning the technology first and then figuring out how to apply it. AI 2041 allows readers to take the exact opposite approach. Through amazingly entertaining stories, Lee and Chen take us on an immersive trip through the future and then zoom out with exceptionally clear explanations of the technology at work. The result is an enjoyable and eye-opening book for those trying to understand how to apply AI." --Mark Cuban "Making predictions about the future of AI is not for the faint of heart. This inspired collaboration between a pioneering technologist and a visionary writer of science fiction offers bold and urgent insights into how these technologies may impact our lives." --Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist, Facebook "Are we fit for the strange new world we seem determined to create? What is clear is that imagination-defying change is upon us. Less clear is what these changes will mean for humankind. Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan's AI 2041 offers the most carefully and caringly considered visions of what is soon to come." --Bennett Miller, Academy Award-nominated director of Moneyball and Foxcatcher, "We have reached a momentous inflection point with AI, and no other book I've read captures it with such stunning insight and imagination. Instead of wondering whether to trust AI, we must think of it as a tool--one that we humans are in charge of shaping. Kai-Fu Lee's brilliant analysis in AI 2041 embodies this urgent mandate for humanity, while Chen Qiufan's gripping stories reveal how AI can become a bridge between previously unsolvable problems and a future of new possibilities." --Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive Global " AI 2041 is the perfect fusion of science and fiction, illuminating the pervasive impact artificial intelligence will have in our lives and the challenges we face in shaping a techno-future that benefits all of humanity." --Marc Benioff, chair and CEO, Salesforce "Applying AI to business usually means learning the technology first and then figuring out how to apply it.

Synopsis
How will AI change our world within twenty years? A pioneering technologist and acclaimed writer team up for a "dazzling" ( The New York Times ) look at the future that "brims with intriguing insights" ( Financial Times ) A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times Long before the advent of ChatGPT, Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan understood the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to transform our daily lives. But even as the world wakes up to the power of AI, many of us still fail to grasp the big picture. Chatbots and large language models are only the beginning. In this "inspired collaboration" ( The Wall Street Journal ), Lee and Chen join forces to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping, globe-spanning short stories and accompanying commentary, their book introduces readers to an array of eye-opening settings and characters grappling with the new abundance and potential harms of AI technologies like deep learning, mixed reality, robotics, artificial general intelligence, and autonomous weapons.
