first KEY POINT
Artificial intelligence or human intelligence; tech companies are losing their trust in humans
The world has changed from the days of human intelligence to artificial intelligence — AI. Online services that are now integral to everyday life are riddled with many demands from sites and applications that won’t operate unless you accept their terms and conditions. For example, basic registration requires information like date of birth, full name, location, password, a valid address, etc. The world is approaching an era where human resources are not needed because, according to the CEOs of top tech companies, the future is AI. Artificial intelligence that pilots a computer is very efficient, faster, and easier to use than human resources. This is why tech giants like Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg have said that they prefer these machines to humans.
Nothing lasts forever; hence, be willing to change as the world changes.
Since the emergence of online transactions, and the need to protect information that travels online, security has been the number one focus of the online business. Security requires many things, and unfortunately for humans, tech companies trust machines more than humans in handling this.In this summary, you will learn how the age of Google is gradually fading away and what to expect as the post–Google age dawns. You will also get to know why Cryptocosm will be crucial in the age to come.
second KEY POINT
Google is fast becoming the Alpha of the Internet world, and other companies are merely playing catch up
Google is one of the top five fastest–growing companies that form the oligopoly of information around the Internet. But, unlike in the days of Isaac Newton — when money still had good value for its services, Google is finding it hard to create the required trilogy of one universe, one money, and one God. With Newton’s idea that money should be made of gold coins, people became confident that their services truly had value, and the fear of a fake or counterfeit was almost non–existent. The system of the world now places power with the state and away from the people. Money has no systemic value because of its diversity, change, and economic inflation that only reflects on the currency itself and not its value for a business. However, it is important to note that, of all the big companies that dominate the information world, Google is the biggest in terms of the collection and collaboration of data from different sources. As a result, Google owns the “big data” of knowledge encompassing science and commerce, religion and philosophy, economics, and epistemology.
