Introduction

As we stand on the brink of a technological revolution driven by Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), we have the unprecedented opportunity to redefine our economy and society. The rapid diffusion and democratization of these technologies hold the promise of a future where mundane jobs are automated, freeing humanity to pursue joy, creativity, and fulfillment—the essence of a "Playing Playful Happy Humanity."

While ideally, we envision a world without disparities between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' within the next decade, it's crucial to approach this transformation pragmatically. This roadmap outlines how we can leverage AGI and ASI to build businesses and initiatives that deliver value to those already embracing this new paradigm and bring the rest of humanity into this future. By setting clear milestones over the next ten years, we aim to shape an economy that supports a happy, playful, and inclusive society.

The Evolving Economy Over the Next 10 Years

1. Promoting Global Awareness and Understanding

 

  • Milestone: Launch a worldwide campaign to raise awareness about AGI/ASI and the vision of a Playing Playful Happy Humanity.
  • Actions: Develop accessible educational content explaining AGI/ASI and their potential benefits. Organize international conferences, workshops, and webinars featuring thought leaders in technology, economics, and positive psychology. Collaborate with media outlets to disseminate information and spark public discussions.

Years 3-4: Infrastructure Development and Early Adoption

1. Democratizing Access to AGI/ASI Technologies

 

  • Milestone: Implement platforms that make AGI/ASI tools accessible to the general public.
  • Actions: Launch user-friendly interfaces and applications that allow individuals to leverage AGI/ASI in daily life. Provide subsidies or free access to communities with limited resources. Translate tools and resources into multiple languages to reach a global audience.

2. Piloting Universal Basic Income (UBI) Programs

 

  • Milestone: Conduct pilot UBI programs in select regions to study their impact on society.
  • Actions: Partner with governments and economic institutions to fund and monitor UBI initiatives. Collect data on quality of life, economic activity, and societal well-being. Adjust programs based on findings to optimize effectiveness.

Years 5-6: Scaling and Economic Restructuring

1. Expanding Businesses that Support Playful Humanity

 

  • Milestone: Grow enterprises that provide platforms for creativity, learning, and play.
  • Actions: Invest in industries like arts, entertainment, education, and virtual reality experiences enhanced by AGI/ASI. Encourage entrepreneurship in fields that promote human fulfillment. Support small businesses and startups through grants and mentorship programs.

  • Actions: Reform educational systems to prioritize creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Launch public campaigns that celebrate and encourage play in all age groups. Recognize and reward contributions to society beyond economic outputs.

Years 9-10: Sustainability and Future-Proofing

1. Ensuring Sustainable Technological Advancement

 

  • Milestone: Harmonize technological growth with environmental sustainability.
  • Actions: Invest in green technologies and renewable energy powered by AGI/ASI. Encourage responsible consumption and production practices. Implement circular economies to reduce waste and promote recycling.

2. Preparing for Continuous Evolution

 

  • Milestone: Establish frameworks that allow society to adapt to ongoing technological changes.
  • Actions: Create institutions dedicated to monitoring the impacts of AGI/ASI and advising on policy adjustments. Foster a global dialogue on ethics, security, and governance of advanced technologies. Promote international cooperation to address challenges and share benefits.

 

Pragmatic Considerations

While striving for a world without 'haves' and 'have-nots' is aspirational, we must address current realities:

 

  • Economic Inequality: Recognize that eliminating inequality entirely within a decade may be unrealistic. Focus on significantly reducing disparities through targeted interventions.
  • Technological Access: Work diligently to prevent a digital divide by making technologies affordable and accessible, especially in developing regions.
  • Cultural Diversity: Respect and incorporate diverse cultural values and practices in promoting a playful humanity to ensure global acceptance.

 

Conclusion

The next ten years present a pivotal opportunity to reshape our economy and society fundamentally. By strategically leveraging AGI and ASI, we can move towards a world where humanity is free to pursue happiness, creativity, and fulfillment. This roadmap provides clear milestones and actions to guide us in this transformation, balancing idealism with pragmatism. Through collective effort, inclusive policies, and continuous innovation, we can create a future where play and happiness are not privileges but universal experiences.
