Abstract-By the year 2040, prosperity would be at the homes of millions. There would be no trillionaire. Billionaires would be given time to divest their wealth in other businesses or to donations for projects worth doing and much needed. Billionaires would be told to explain what they want their money to do: more business and more donations? As we need money in circulation to progress. Billionaires could invest in desalination plants to make some ocean backwaters salt-free, invest in high-end AI-enabled hospitals, and even create river canals and tributaries-distributaries of rivers, all named after them for their support. The world would be filled with different kinds of millionaires and upper-middle-class people. The divide between the rich and the poor would narrow. It all depends on who wants to work and who doesn’t. People would have the right to medicine, the right to work if they want to, and the right to food. People would be given good homes. Climate change may scare people at times, but by 2040, AI will be ready to save lives from climate change. Technology would be smart enough to ensure that houses are built to withstand climate calamities. Space missions, medicine, aging therapies, water security, and farming would dominate work, jobs, and aims.

By 2030, the billionaires would be given the option to divest their funds for meaningful purposes, such as creating a new advanced hospital with modern amenities, enabled by safe AI and other modern technologies. Yes, not fully AI-automated, but with AI in it, meaning it can scan for cancer in minutes with help from AI but it all needs human permissions. Such hospitals would be very costly to build and governments can’t take the toll on their own. Billionaires would, in return, have their names embedded in the founding stone of such hospitals. Say a hospital named “Advanced AI XYZ Hospital”. The AI hospital does not mean AI doctors, but a means to help processes of work, something like medical documents to be automated, helping the hospital staff deal with pressure by asking things and documenting them. I am saying a big “No” to a fully AI hospital. This would be a win-win, as it’s their hard-earned money and they are being recognized for it.
Hospitals are not the only thing. Billionaires can adopt villages and landscapes that are in danger. For example, billionaires can adopt the Arctic belt and protect its natural habitats and ecosystems there. There is a lot of division between the poor and the rich. It would be achieved when people see the rich and successful and dream of lives like theirs. This fosters unhealthy competition for money and fame. If billionaires invest their money in other businesses, it would be good, good for the common people, good for money, as it is said, money must always be in circulation in society. The businesses would grow over time, and they may become billionaires again, just to invest in more things. They can buy things, which is also a part of divesting and making the demand in society for money to flow. So, say, they can buy more industries, and in a way send money to new workers who would be tech-savvy and work diligently. All this to say we need money circulation in the world.
Other areas, such as dry regions like California, are always prone to forest fires. Such areas can be helped by billionaires by forming frameworks of supplying desalinated seawater to those forests. These desalination plants would be named after the billionaire who invests in them. Other measures to save forests and properties from fire need to be devised with or without help of AI. Apart from desalination plants, investors can also invest in raising a region’s water table through various methods. Investors just need to say yes, and with AI and technology, ways can be found to make water available so the soil stays moist, and more would follow. AI would help find solutions to these problems, alongside the talented, growing youth who can be inspired to reach new heights with government incentives. Then come building more tributaries and distributaries from rivers, each named after the donor-billionaire. This kind of money divesting is called donation. They can donate to help planet Earth.
If you want to improve your life in 2040 to an millionaire lifestyle, you would have to work. Going from an upper-middle-class lifestyle to a millionaire lifestyle would require you to work hard. There would be a lot of work to do. You could take your robots to work with you. They would be dumb robots, meaning they are just meant to do what they are meant to do, not do-it-all robots. No, no AGI-based robots. AI, AGI based robots would be banned on Earth not on Moon/Mars.
People would have the right to medicine, the right to work if they want to, and the right to food. Donors can invest in pharmaceuticals to reach common people at lower rates. Why should healthcare be a profit-making business unless it is in inception mode? Inception drugs, such as drugs to live longer, drugs to stop aging. Yes, humans can live longer, and it may be possible if we can find that with the help of AI. If you want to work, work should be available. There is a lot of work to be done. We are not yet at the place we call utopia, so a lot needs to be worked out. Every person should have the right to good food, and no one should sleep hungry. And food should be in abundance. Once again, billionaires can invest in healthy farming of both veg and non-veg food and help provide good-quality dairy and other foods. There are many options for billionaires to invest their hard-earned money. In other business ventures, such as a expertised AI hospital for a space centers and space objects.
People would be given good homes. Climate change may be scary at times, but by 2040, AI will be ready to save lives from climate change. Technology would be smart enough to ensure that houses are built to withstand climate calamities. Billionaires can invest in research and in supplying raw materials for safe homes, enabling common people to lead upper-middle-class lives. There are many solutions that can be found with the help of AI on how to stop disruptive natural events. We should not be messing with Mother Nature and its anger, but we can try to dissipate some harmful effects that extremes like cloud bursts can cause, and AI and tech can help us in that.
Vehicles would be able to fly to some extent, but we don’t want them to fly too high, so be careful when you invest in such firms. Public opinion on each and every one would be sought. People would be asked what they like, and would be told why we can’t have vehicles that fly too high and affect the bird and airplane zones. The rest of public opinion would be part of each innovation that would come into action.
There would be initiatives in space exploration. It would take time to make the Moon or Mars green like Earth, but investors can invest in such missions. These missions not only circulate money in society and create jobs but also drive development, and donors/investors name would be forever associated with them. There could be early attempts at space flights, initially carrying animals to and from Earth. Many companies are already doing this, but by that time in the future, these would be rampant.
There would be jobs. Doctors would be trained to use AI-equipped hospitals. There would be more hospitals than a city needs, more cinemas than shows, and more food than required. There would be jobs to produce food, and people would be paid well for farming and mechanical work. Dumb robots would help with farming and harvesting. At the same time, we don’t want AI to manage all our needs. AI and tech are good for small units like hospitals, enabling departments, AI within the water department, AI within the electricity department, but we must not connect these units so they can talk to each other. These won’t be AGI-based AI, not these would be just like smart screens taking note of what was done today in the department, what tickets are yet to be solved, and what needs urgent attention, which units complained about the electricity supply, that’s it. Once again we must not let AI units to talk to each other. This can be dangerous. There is a lot of work to be done, and training would be provided by governments and the private sector. People would earn enough, but we need to put a cap on the maximum money anyone can own, as this creates an undue competition and divide in society.
In short, by the year 2040, life expectancy would rise, people would live a good standard of living, medicines would be way cheaper, AI would help in issues like medicine, climate calamities, analytics, and more. At the same time we must know we should not depend on intuition of someone that all things on Earth must be connected by AI. No. But at the same time we shall do the same on Mars, all things in/on Mars/Moon may be connected by AI or may be maintained by robots which are physically guided by humans on Earth. AI fake news shall be banned as we lead simple, fuller, happier, and more extensive lives.
Cheers to a beautiful future together!
