2041 SCENARIOS
Computation, Energy and the Planet
SCENARIO TWO
Automation
New energy – Classical computation
Energy management by environment optimisation
Imagine a world where it’s not just physical work that’s automated, but knowledge work too. Research is carried out by AI systems, which are efficiently powered using energy-harvesting materials. This scenario explores the future of AI, energy optimisation, and resource-use: Dive in and discover the implications of an increasingly automated world.
