Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

Az emberiség jövője az AI forradalom tükrében
By 2050, AI will "profoundly" transform the world, AI will help make research development more efficient, help streamline public transport, help medical science, help perform complex operations with pinpoint accuracy. People will be happier and more relaxed because crime will be pushed into the background as AI-driven technologies come to the fore.

Hand in Hand
n 2040, I would like to see a world in which technology and humanity go hand in hand to improve life for everyone. It would be particularly important that artificial intelligence and automation not only increase prosperity, but also reduce social inequality. AI will be used to make education, healthcare and job opportunities more efficient and accessible so that no one is left behind. In this future, work is no longer only tied to physical presence - flexible working models make it possible to better combine life and work. At the same time, society has shifted its focus to mental health. There is a strong culture of mindfulness and compassion, both at work and at home. Stigmatization of mental illness is a thing of the past, and everyone has access to the resources they need. Climate change has been largely halted by innovative technologies and sustainable lifestyles. Renewable energy has become the norm and cities are green and liveable. In this future, the world is a place of peace, justice and mutual respect - for the planet and for all people.

The future is maddening today.
I hope the future in the world had been eliminated racism, xenophobia and corruption. Less poverty. I believe more opportunities to people working less time and be more productive and had time to spend with family. I imagine one world also with less nature destruction.

In 2040, we live in peace and balance. We work, but only to pass the time. Everyone is happy, life is pleasant. There is no evil, people live in peace. No one wants to oppress anyone. Children can play in the streets in peace. They don't have to be afraid of getting hurt. The police do their job. So people can live in peace. It's important that it's not just the motorists who are being bullied. They could investigate and put their energy into catching criminals. Because right now they are not really "serving and protecting" (at least not the citizens).
