Three decades ago I rambled about an AI & green tech-led Utopia. Now it’s happening.
<p>We were standing around my friend’s kitchen while he and his scientist wife prepared the meal. It was the mid-1990s.</p>
<p>She commented about the hopelessness of attempting to solve climate change.</p>
<p>I reflected that the world could readily switch to 100% green energy, up GDP by 10x through AI and eliminate poverty and resource shortages.</p>
<p>She stopped, looked up from her chopping and uttered ‘You’re an idealist!’</p>
<p>I took it as a compliment.</p>
<p>But the point is I was and am a <em>practical</em> idealist, as I pointed out to Adele.</p>
