Uses of AI



Three problems need to be solved in the coming years.
The resources of the planet will be exhausted at the end of this century.
Global warming is not sustainable.
Humanity naturally needs population growth.

In addition to the uses specific to people, artificial intelligence must achieve three goals for humanity.
On Earth, we must achieve the economic transition.
There should be agriculture in space at the end of this decade.
Eventually, we will need habitats in space for human beings.


1) Economic transition.

It is the transfer of labor to non-polluting activities, traditional productions being carried out by artificial intelligence and robotics. The role of companies is also to integrate technical progress and employees have the right to benefit from it.
The use of artificial intelligence will therefore make it possible to have economic growth without the negative consequences of production on the environment.
It will also make it possible to give the part of humanity which is not salaried the equivalent of these jobs.

The economic transition begins with the application of a moratorium, that is to say, we keep all the people already employed; artificial intelligence has a productivity such that the cost of these employees will be minimal, we will even be able to hire new ones.
They will no longer be used for traditional production, but for consumption. We must then create an economic model that justifies their employment and we must then allow the fluidity of the labor market.
New activities could be created concerning, for example, social exchanges or the control of the functioning of artificial intelligence.


2) Industries.

The development of industrial activity in space should include these stages.
The raw materials must be extracted without pollution, in other words without dust or uncontrolled residues, and stored.
They must be processed, i.e. made ready to be used for production.
Elements of industrial manufacturing must be produced, for example, plates of material.
Habitats, premises, and the equivalent of agricultural land must be built.

A division of industrial activity is therefore desirable for the extraction and transformation of raw materials, for the production of energy. It justifies an international cooperation.
The asteroid belt and the satellites of Jupiter must be reached in less than a year for reasons of economic efficiency. As for the Moon, humanity cannot use it for industrial activities and the extraction of raw materials because this would undermine the integrity of the satellite.


3) Agriculture1.

The various companies to extract the raw materials, carry out the constructions, can be established quite easily for the end of the decade (low cost to access space, artificial intelligence, robotics).

For this farm to be self-sufficient and produce regular production, it will need to be supplied with mineral nutrients. These will have to be extracted in the solar system or exported from Earth (after processing the waste). For an annual world production of 780 million tons of wheat in 2022, this represents 26.21 million tons of the main mineral fertilizers (19.5 of nitrogen, 2.65 of phosphorus, 4.06 of potassium).


4) Habitats.

The habitable space must be the same as on Earth, it consists of a floor, walls, and a ceiling. The material is provided by mining raw materials in the solar system.
Artificial intelligence will then be used to create an artificial gravity, and we will use its abilities of imagination and scientific creativity for this.
A laboratory in space is necessary to do research in steel and metallurgy in order to have the best material for constructions.
