Important Takeaways:
- AI and ML will transform the scientific method.
- With AI and machine learning (ML), we can expect to see orders of magnitude of improvement in what can be accomplished.
- AI enables an unprecedented ability to analyze enormous data sets and computationally discover complex relationships and patterns. AI, augmenting human intelligence, is primed to transform the scientific research process, unleashing a new golden age of scientific discovery in the coming years.
- AI will become a pillar of foreign policy.
- We are likely to see serious government investment in AI. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III has publicly embraced the importance of partnering with innovative AI technology companies to maintain and strengthen global U.S. competitiveness.
- AI will enable next-gen consumer experiences.
- Next-generation consumer experiences like the metaverse and cryptocurrencies have garnered much buzz. These experiences and others like them will be critically enabled by AI
- Addressing the climate crisis will require AI.
- Many promising emerging ideas require AI to be feasible. One potential new approach involves prediction markets powered by AI that can tie policy to impact, taking a holistic view of environmental information and interdependence. This would likely be powered by digital “twin Earth” simulations that would require staggering amounts of real-time data and computation to detect nuanced trends imperceptible to human senses. Other new technologies such as carbon dioxide sequestration cannot succeed without AI-powered risk modeling, downstream effect prediction and the ability to anticipate unintended consequences.
- AI will enable truly personalized medicine
- One compelling emerging application of AI involves synthesizing individualized therapies for patients. Moreover, AI has the potential to one day synthesize and predict personalized treatment modalities in near real-time—no clinical trials required.
- Simply put, AI is uniquely suited to construct and analyze “digital twin” rubrics of individual biology and is able to do so in the context of the communities an individual lives in.
- AI solutions have the potential not only to improve the state of the art in healthcare, but also to play a major role in reducing persistent health inequities.

Important Takeaways:
- “China has signaled interest in joining discussions on setting rules and norms for AI, and we should welcome that,” said Bonnie Glaser of the German Marshall Fund to the Breaking Defense site. “The White House is interested in engaging China on limiting the role of AI in command and control of nuclear weapons.”
- [N]o, America should not want to enter into any AI agreement with the People’s Republic of China on “nuclear C2” — command and control — or any other matter.
- An agreement requiring a human to make launch decisions would, as a practical matter, be unenforceable.
- None of China, Russia, or the United States would allow others to pore over millions of lines of their computer code…..
- America does not need another feel-good agreement with China. It already has them, especially the Biological Weapons Convention, which has no enforcement mechanisms.
- The Chinese regime wants to talk about artificial intelligence largely because it is trailing the U.S. and thinks an agreement would help it catch up…. [and] pave the way for China to access the U.S. technology it does not already have.

Important Takeaways:
- AI Leaders Tell Globalist Davos Crowd that ‘Artificial General Intelligence’ Will Be ‘Better than Humans’
- Top executives from major AI organizations including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Cohere gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss the imminent approach of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its potential impacts. One CEO explained that AGI will be “better than humans at pretty much whatever humans can do.”
- CNBC reports that at the globalist Davos summit, a gathering of AI leaders from esteemed labs like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Cohere initiated a significant dialogue on the advent of AGI. This form of AI, equating to or surpassing human intellect, is a source of both enthusiasm and concern within the AI community.
- Aidan Gomez, CEO and co-founder of Cohere…“First off, AGI is a super vaguely defined term. If we just term it as ‘better than humans at pretty much whatever humans can do,’ I agree, it’s going to be pretty soon that we can get systems that do that,” Gomez said, adding that while adoption in companies might take decades, Cohere is focused on making these systems more adaptable and efficient.
- Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ, offered a differing view, pointing out that AI, while having passed the Turing test, still lacks common sense. “One thing we’ve seen from LLMs [large language models] is very powerful can write says for college students like there’s no tomorrow but it’s difficult to sometimes find common sense,” Hidary stated. He predicted a significant leap in AI, especially with humanoid robots using advanced AI communication software in 2024.

Important Takeaways:
- Robotic priests, AI cults and a ‘Bible’ by ChatGPT: Why people around the world are worshipping robots and artificial intelligence
- People around the world are turning to machines as a new religion.
- Six-foot robot priests are delivering sermons and conducting funerals, AI is writing Bible verses and ChatGPT is being consulted as if it was an oracle.
- Some religious organizations, like the Turing Church founded in 2011, are based on the notion that AI will put human beings on a par with God-like aliens by giving them super intelligence.
- An expert in human-computer interaction told DailyMail.com that such individuals who are following AI-powered prophets may believe the tech is ‘alive.’
- The personalized, intelligent-seeming responses offered by bots, such as ChatGPT, are also luring people to seek meaning from the technology, Lars Holmquist, a professor of design and innovation at Nottingham Trent University, told DailyMail.com.
- In 2015, French-American self-driving car engineer Anthony Lewadowski founded the Way of the Future – a church dedicated to building a new God with ‘Christian morals’ using artificial intelligence.
- Gabriele Trovato’s Sanctified Theomorphic Operator (SanTO) robot works like a ‘Catholic Alexa,’ allowing worshippers to ask faith-related questions.
- ‘The intended main function of SanTO is to be a prayer companion (especially for elderly people), by containing a vast amount of teachings, including the whole Bible,’ reads Trovato’s website.
- Other quasi-religious movements which ‘worship’ AI include transhumanists, who believe that in the future, AI may resurrect people as God-like creatures.
- Believers in ‘The Singularity’ hope for the day when man merges with machine (which former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil believes could come as early as 2045), turning people into human-machine hybrids – and potentially unlocking God-like powers.

Important Takeaways:
- Trump Blasts AI As ‘Very Dangerous’ Threat to U.S.
- Former President Donald Trump has warned that artificial intelligence (A.I.) is “very dangerous for our country” in a post on Truth Social.
- Trump’s comments came after AI-generated, fake images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein surfaced online, peddled by Hollywood “celebrities” attempting to deflect attention from the habits of their own friends and colleagues.
- “This is what the Democrats do to their Republican Opponent, who is leading them, by a lot, in the Polls. This is A.I., and it is very dangerous for our Country!” wrote Trump. “I was never on Epstein’s Plane, or at his ‘stupid’ Island. Strong Laws ought to be developed against A.I. It will be a big and very dangerous problem in the future!”
- Although Trump’s name appeared in court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, the documents revealed that Trump never traveled on Epstein’s plane nor visited his private island.

Important Takeaways:
- Consider this: England’s 1,000-year-old legal system — wigs, robes and all — is giving judge’s permission to ‘use artificial intelligence to help produce rulings’
- Yes, you read that right
- “The Courts and Tribunals Judiciary last month said AI could help write opinions but stressed it shouldn’t be used for research or legal analyses because the technology can fabricate information and provide misleading, inaccurate and biased information.
- ‘Judges do not need to shun the careful use of AI’, said Master of the Rolls Geoffrey Vos, the second-highest ranking judge in England and Wales. ‘But they must ensure that they protect confidence and take full personal responsibility for everything they produce’.”
- S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts did address artificial intelligence usage in his annual report, but the federal court system in America has no guidance on AI.
- US State and county courts, furthermore, are too fragmented for a universal approach.
- Cary Coglianese, law professor at the University of Pennsylvania: “’It is certainly one of the first, if not the first, published set of AI-related guidelines in the English language that applies broadly and is directed to judges and their staffs’, Coglianese said of the guidance for England and Wales. ‘I suspect that many, many judges have internally cautioned their staffs about how existing policies of confidentiality and use of the internet apply to the public-facing portals that offer ChatGPT and other such services’
- The danger of the technology has already manifested itself in the infamous incident where two New York lawyers relied on ChatGPT to write a legal brief that quoted fictional cases. The two were fined by an angry judge who called the work they had signed off on ‘legal gibberish’.

Important Takeaways:
- What Is Going To Happen To Our Society As AI And Robots Take Most Of Our Jobs?
- For years we have been warned that AI and robots would revolutionize the workforce, and now that day has officially arrived.
- For example, Amazon has been using various types of simple robots to perform certain tasks for years, and now highly sophisticated humanoid robots are being deployed right alongside normal human workers…
- Designed by Agility Robotics, which Amazon has invested in as part of its Industrial Innovation Fund, Digit is only the latest of a string of warehouse robots the company has introduced over the last several years. However, most of the other warehouse robots have been cart-shaped or robotic arms, not humanoid like Digit.
- Digit costs about $10 to $12 an hour to operate right now, based on its price and lifespan, but the company predicts that cost to drop to $2 to $3 an hour plus overhead software costs as production ramps up, Agility Robotics CEO Damion Shelton told Bloomberg.
- So this trend is only going to accelerate during the years ahead.
- In fact, Goldman Sachs is projecting that AI could take as many as 300 million full-time jobs during the years ahead, and most of them will be white collar jobs…
- As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has spawned platforms like ChatGPT, according to Goldman Sachs economists.
- They predicted in a report Sunday that 18% of work globally could be computerized, with the effects felt more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets.
- That’s partly because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers. Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected, the economists said, compared to the “little effect” seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations, such as construction and repair work.
- On Friday, the BLS told us that the Establishment Survey indicated that the U.S. economy added 216,000 jobs last month, but historically the Household Survey has been much more accurate, and it showed that the U.S. economy actually lost 683,000 jobs last month…
- And as I shared with my paid subscribers a few days ago, the BLS report also showed that the number of full-time jobs in the U.S. dropped by 1.531 million during the month of December…
- Meanwhile, bankruptcies are surging all over the country.
- In fact, the number of bankruptcy filings in the United States in 2023 was 18 percent higher than it was in 2022…
- But what we are experiencing at this moment is not even worth comparing to what is coming.

Important Takeaways:
-
- We asked top AI chatbots for their predictions for 2024… and it produced some VERY alarming results
- From ChatGPT taking the world by storm to sparking historic Hollywood strikes. Artificial intelligence had its break out year in 2023.
- So what’s in store for the cutting-edge tech in 2024? DailyMail.com asked the leading AI chatbots to predict their own fate – Google’s Bard and Amazon-backed Claude – and got some very alarming results.
- AI systems might start reasoning by themselves
- ‘Techniques like deep learning and neural networks running on powerful computing infrastructure have driven these leaps forward. Major investments from big tech companies and startups suggest the pace of innovation isn’t slowing anytime soon.
- ‘And some AI researchers anticipate that we’re now closer to “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) – algorithms that can match humans’ flexibility and adaptability across different environments and tasks.
- ‘Groups like DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, and Anthropic are pushing towards this goal of AGI.
- Biotechnology will ‘upgrade’ humans
- The AI suggested that these could include breakthroughs in ‘Brain Computer Interfaces’, where human brains connect to computers.
- Elon Musk’s Neuralink is set to test such technology in volunteers in the coming year.
- ‘Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) could allow direct communication between the brain and computer systems, enabling control of prosthetics, external devices, or even virtual environments. Potential applications include communication for individuals with paralysis, enhanced creativity and productivity, or even brain-to-brain communication.’
- Dawn of personalized medicine
- ‘Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine, aims to tailor treatments and preventive strategies to the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors of each individual. In this quest, AI is emerging as a game-changer, powering breakthroughs across various aspects of healthcare:
- ‘By deciphering vast amounts of genetic data, AI can identify risk factors for specific diseases, allowing for proactive interventions and personalized prevention plans
- ‘AI can mine Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to uncover hidden patterns and connections between symptoms, medications, and outcomes, leading to more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment recommendations.
- ‘AI can analyze patient data and predict how they might respond to different treatments, helping doctors choose the most effective and least harmful options for each individual.’
- Election hacking warning
- With the Presidential election looming in the U.S., Google’s Bard predicted that malicious actors will try to undermine the election using technology.
- ‘Malicious actors might target voter registration databases, voting machines, or election results reporting systems to disrupt the voting process, sow doubt in the outcome, or manipulate results.
- Tensions with China rise
- Anthropic’s Claude predicts that tensions between the U.S. and China will continue to rise in 2024.
- Taiwan remains one of the most contentious issues. China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that should be reunified with the mainland, by force if necessary.
- But Taiwan has evolved into a distinct, democratic society with its own identity. The US has historically supported Taiwan’s right to self-determination and supplied arms for its defenses, raising tensions with China.
- If Taiwan makes moves towards formal independence in 2024, that could provoke more aggressive posturing or even military action from China.’

Important Takeaways:
- ‘Controligarchs’ Plan to Use AI as a Vehicle to Control the Masses
- …a group of billionaires — including Bill Gates, David Rockefeller, George Soros, Ted Turner, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and the heads of major corporations like Cisco, Blackstone Group, and Tiger Management — met at Rockefeller University in Manhattan in the spring of 2009
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is just another way for these “Controligarchs” to gain more power and control in society.
- …pointing to World Economic Forum experts “who say that AI is going to eliminate 40 percent of the jobs” so you are either “gonna have to adapt or you’re gonna be out of work.”
- “They want to control every aspect of your life from what you’re eating, to what you’re seeing, I mean information, of course.
- The question is, once you’re out of work and given a meager basic income of $30,000, are you going to be able to do anything about it?

Important Takeaways:
- Church in AI takeover as sermon led by ChatGPT in artificial intelligence breakthrough
- The word of God has now been officially taken over by AI as proved by this robot-generated sermon which included humans worshipping.
- You can now forget the stereotype that religion is backwards as this Methodist Church in Texas now uses artificial intelligence to conduct a service with ChatGPT.
- On September 17, 2023, the Violet Crown City Church, a Methodist church in North Austin, US, transformed the tradition of Sunday service into the new age with Artificial Intelligence.
- Pastor Jay Cooper, of Violet Crown City Church, decided to debut an AI-generated worship service for his congregation.
- Using AI, Jay recorded the service while letting the artificial intelligence generator conduct the service, with AI being able to create prayers, a sermon, and an original song based on the sermon itself.
- “The idea to create an AI-generated worship service came from my belief that the church should not only be aware of the most pressing issues of our world, but also to actively engage in them,” Jay said.
