AI 2041 is an amazing book containing 10 “scientific fiction” short stories. Kai-Fu Lee, AI technologist, teams up with Chen Qiufan, visionary sci fi author, to imagine how artificial intelligence (AI) will potentially shape our world in 2041, only 20 years from now. Each story is followed by a reality analysis that explores how indeed this future might come to pass. I can easily image a Netflix limited series following soon.

This entertaining vision of the future is the perfect blend of science and fiction. AI will change our lives, like it or not. These stories can help us play a role in shaping our reality. A must read…

Kai-Fu Lee is co-chair of the Artificial Intelligence Council at the World Economic Forum and Chen Qiufan is the president of the World Chinese Science Fiction Association.
