In Japan, the world's most technologically sophisticated society, the future has already happened with public displays of AI-powered systems and robots underpinned by big data and fast being incorporated along with other emerging technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), blockchain, and cryptocurrency. Hence, the building blocks of the future already exist today, perhaps within niches, and in the coming years, they will spread to make the ‘normal' of the future. The human race needs to forge a society that collectively and fairly controls how AI will ‘write' the future to avoid it being unequally spread and affected by inequalities, cancers, and the dysfunctional habits of today.
