WORLD 2050: The Future of AI, Jobs, Education, Healthcare, Technology, Cities and Everyday Life (Technology & Digital World) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

2050 IS COMING. AND IT IS NOT WAITING FOR YOU.

Your job could change. Your skills could become obsolete. Your money could work differently. Your doctor could be an AI. Your city could become almost unrecognizable.

Will you adapt to the world of 2050 — or become irrelevant in it?

Written by a PhD researcher at IIT Kharagpur working at the intersection of electrical engineering, smart grid systems, and AI-driven power control, WORLD 2050 looks beyond science-fiction fantasies and asks what the future actually looks like when today's technological, economic and social forces are pushed forward to the middle of the century.

Artificial intelligence is moving from a tool people deliberately use toward infrastructure embedded in everyday decisions. Automation is reorganizing work. Education is becoming AI-assisted. Healthcare is moving toward continuous monitoring, earlier diagnosis and increasingly personalized treatment. Cities are growing, populations are aging, energy systems are being transformed, and climate and water pressures are becoming harder to ignore.

But the future is not experienced through statistics.

It arrives at your doorstep.

A farmer's daughter in rural Bihar. A factory supervisor in Pune. A physician in a Tier-2 Indian city. A college student in the United States. An elderly man watching his village change.

Across seventeen chapters, their lives provide a human lens for examining demography, AI, education, employment, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, transportation, energy, food, climate, cities, geopolitics and the skills that may determine who thrives in the decades ahead.

This book does not pretend to know exactly what will happen.

Instead, it separates relatively reliable trends from genuinely uncertain possibilities using High, Medium and Speculative confidence levels.

Because predicting 2050 perfectly is impossible.

But ignoring the forces creating it could be far more dangerous.

Read WORLD 2050 to understand what is already changing, what may become difficult to stop, and what you should be thinking about before the future becomes your present.
