From Michael Harrington, Sydney, Australia
The consequence – or economic threat if you are personally affected – of AI is that armies of white-collar professionals, such as architects, lawyers and accountants, may become permanently redundant. You ask an AI: “Show me some designs for an east-facing beach house with a veranda and water views that backs onto a bush reserve.” You scroll through a few images and floor plans, then choose one – the AI knows the location and can do a design down to the millimetre that is compliant with local rules. Any problem with the council and an AI can generate a legally perfect letter for you, as well as organise finances to your best advantage. Job done.
