‘Technology is making many things that were once expensive nearly free. Anything measurable can be automated, pushing costs toward compute and maybe even energy. At the same time, new jobs and new forms of value will emerge, especially in areas tied to human status, entertainment, and other less measurable parts of life. In the AI age, strong verification systems will be essential to protect society from fake identities and malicious actors. Put together, this points to a future where things governments have long struggled to provide well, like quality education and healthcare that could become cheap, abundant and widely accessible through advancing technology.’
