As the year 2000 A.D. approached and the all the hype with it I started to wonder what will our world would look like in the year 2000 A.H.
I have written several Sci-fi short stories on this theme and created several pictures. So here is my vision of the year 2000 A.H. Please put in your constructive comments about the stories and pictures.Edward Otthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408434056681586554noreply@blogger.comBlogger582125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18799349.post-89597090235866396442019-06-10T19:37:00.001-05:002019-06-10T19:37:07.991-05:00Declining birth rate<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Divorce is still illegal in the Philippines, there for people are
forced to spend thousands on a legal annulment. This means that only
the wealthy in the Philippines can get divorced. My friend Maria is
trying to get divorced but lacks the funds.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
In the Islamic conception, Adam’s the first Prophet chosen to preach to humanity, but he and his wife Eve are also the first in a new species, chosen to be God’s Caliphs—like “representatives”—on Earth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
But if we believe that, how do we deal with Neanderthals—was Adam their ancestor, too? Do Adam and Eve fit somewhere differently on the family tree? Or are modern humans somehow distinct from species we’re clearly so similar to?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
When I’ve raised such questions, I’ve gotten different responses. Some Muslims argue that if the Qur’an doesn’t go into detail about the origins of the world, or human life, then that’s because God wants us to focus on the moral meaning. The science was left for us mere mortals to divine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
Others have proposed that Adam was an archetype for humankind, not a person; that huge chunks of time passed between the forbidden fruit and their Earthly exile; that the Adam in heaven wasn’t quite the Adam on Earth; or that while Adam was created out of the same genetic stuff as life on this planet—how else could we survive?—that genetic similarity doesn’t imply direct ancestry.</div>

<div class="first-text" data-textannotation-id="3deac3a1a803f2498c1bb20b305f2984" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Like it or not, we are nearing the age of humans creating autonomous, self-aware super intelligences. Those intelligences will be part of our culture, and we will inevitably try to control AI and teach it our ways, for better or worse.</span></div>
<div data-textannotation-id="a602ce27a9131cbc3354b6c868c977e4" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">
AI with intelligence equal to or beyond human beings is often referred to as "strong AI" or<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #28ade6; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Artificial General Intelligence</a> (AGI). Experts disagree as to when such an intelligence will arrive into the world, but many are betting it will happen sometime in the next two decades. The idea of a thinking machine being able to rival our own intellect—in fact, one that could quickly become far smarter than us—is both a reason for serious concern and a reason to cheer about what scientific advances it might teach us. <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Those worries and benefits have not escaped religious.</span></div>
<div data-textannotation-id="7c561f5fdce8af6420b0754c3eb2a782" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Some faith-bound Americans want to make sure any superintelligence we create knows about God. And if you think the idea of preaching God to autonomous machines sounds crazy, you may be overlooking key statistics of U.S. demographics: <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/159548/identify-christian.aspx" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #28ade6; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">roughly 75</a></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/159548/identify-christian.aspx" sl-processed="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #28ade6; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> percent</a> of adult Americans identify themselves as some denomination of Christianity.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">As artificial intelligence advances, r</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">eligious questions and concerns globally are bound to come up, and they're starting too: Some theologians and futurists are already considering whether AI can also know God.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">Being a science fiction creator is the most amazing adventure — you get to invent whole new worlds, brand new futures, and fantastic technologies, and you get to tell the most incredible stories about them. But it's also a tough and heartbreaking career path, whether you're in books, comics, movies or television. Here are 10 things that every brand new science fiction creator ought to know at the start.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Islamic SF would be any science fiction story that is positively informed by Islamic beliefs and practices. A partial list of what is considered as Islamic SF would include any SF story that: - strives to state the existence of the One God. - deals in a positive way with any aspect of Islamic practices. - features a Muslim as one of its main characters and if the actions of this Muslim in the story reflect Islamic values. - takes on one or more Islamic teachings in a positive way.</span><br />

for the past few years, I’ve worked as the Chief Technical Officer of one of the world’s largest consulting firms, where my job is to learn of the latest technologies on the market and figure out the most interesting and useful ways to deploy it for businesses. With an international work force of sixty thousand employees in thirty-six countries, I’ve had to travel for the majority of my time to keep up with my employees and introduce them to these technologies that will make our company, and that of our clients, run more efficiently.</div>

Last week, I found myself booked for two critically important meetings on the same day in two different cities, halfway around the world from each other: one in Boston where I am based and the second in Bangalore, India, where we employee close to three thousand. The meeting in Bangalore was to formally launch our new innovation center with key leadership members of our firm in the region. I did attend the Bangalore meeting, and started my talk by greeting every person there, face to face, then walked them around the facility room-by-room while demonstrating the most cutting edge of technologies installed in the center including video screens for teleconferencing, and the latest in 3D printers. The meeting was a huge success.</div>
