The cooking systemhas completed breakfast preparation,fully configured nutrition according to physical monitoring information and adjusted taste according to Sailor’s preferences. Sailor eats while watchingthe holographic news on the dining table.
After breakfast, Sailor goes to the balcony to do Baduanjin. Outside the window,the once congested streets now only have self-driving eco-friendly cars moving in an orderly manner, and logistics robots on aerial tracks accurately deliver packages. Most of the former office buildings have been transformed into public learning spaces and art exhibition halls, with only a few buildings marked with“AI Regulatory Commission”still retaining office attributes.
As a researcher of the“Human Value Exploration Association,”Sailor’s job is to record the changes in human spiritual life in the AI era, which is one of the few professions still requiring human participation.At 9 AM, Sailor opens the data terminal, and the complex data organization and analysis have already been completed byAI. He only needs to inject emotional interpretation and humanistic thinking.“Sailor, the report you submitted last week, “AI Era Youth Psychological Report” has been approved, and the reward in consumption currency has been credited to your account.”The terminal pops up a notification; it also includes supplementary materials filtered by the AI assistant, marked with a red label stating“requires human subjective judgment.”Sailor made subjective judgments on these materials.
At 10 AM, Sailor completed the day’s work and planned to go to the public learning space.Before going out, Xiao Ai hands over an adaptive temperature smart coat:“Based on your itinerary, the public space temperature is relatively low in the morning, and the coat has been preset to warm mode.”Sailor smiles as he takes it, recalling how twenty years ago he had to squeeze into the subway for two hours to go to work in an office, freezing on the way to the subway station and sweating in the crowded subway.Now, such a life has long become history.2035, after the “comprehensive automation revolution,” heavy labor in manufacturing, service, and agriculture has been completely taken over byAI and robots, and humanity has finally been liberated from the pressure of survival.
Now, work has become a“luxury,”AI Regulatory Commission staff and AI R&D and maintenance personnel work 16 hours a week, 100 days a year; general social service personnel work 8 hours a week, 100 days a year. People’s main activities are exercise, socializing, traveling, and doing some “non-heritage” handicrafts.
