How is AI Going to Revolutionize our Lives?

I recently came across this story that depicts a scenario in the world that is not too far away from the reality we will be facing soon. Artificial Intelligence, technology, the internet is making our lives easier. However, if any of you have read George Orwell's book, "1984" you will realize that this could also have a bit of a scary angle to it too...

The phone call goes like this…….

- Hello! Gordon's pizza?

- No sir this is Google's pizza.

- Sorry, I must have dialed a wrong number?

- No sir, Google bought out Gordon's Pizza recently.

- OK. Take my order please.

- OK sir, would you like your usual?"

- The usual? You know me?

- According to our caller-ID database, your last 12 orders were for pizza with

cheese and sausage toppings, thick crust and crisp.

- OK! That's it...

- May I suggest this time you add ricotta, arugula with dry tomato toppings?

- What? I hate vegetables.

- Your cholesterol is not good, sir."

- How do you know that?

- We cross-matched your phone number with your name and your online medical portal.

We have the result of your blood tests for the past 7 years.

- Okay, but I do not want those toppings, I already take medicine ...

- Excuse me, but you have not taken your medicine regularly.

We can see from our database, 4 months ago, you only purchased

a box with 30 cholesterol tablets at CVS.

- I bought more from another pharmacy.

- Such a transaction is not showing in your credit card account.

- I paid in cash.

- But you did not withdraw that much cash according to your recent bank statement.

- I have another source of cash.

- That is not showing as per your latest tax return unless you obtained it from

an undeclared income source.

HOLY COW.....

- "I'm sorry, sir, we use such information only with the intention of helping you.

- Enough! I'm sick of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. I'm going to an Island

without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to spy on me.

- "I understand sir but you'll need to renew your passport, it expired 6 weeks ago!
