6:00 AM I wake up to the sharp beeping of CHAD (Custom Humanoid AI Device). CHAD wanders the floors of my house every morning, designed to wake me up at the best possible time for my own health. Although he does not recognize the sleep needed by the mind of a moody teen and thinks that 6:00 a.m. is a reasonable hour to be awake. Starting my day is almost completely independent from CHAD other than their annoying wake-up call. However, when I finally leave my room, CHAD uses all of his amazing abilities to “help” me, such as accidentally tripping me, dropping my breakfast, and glitching while trying to make my toast.
7:00 AM The public schooling system has changed completely, to the point where it is just homeschooling with a strict curriculum. There are only live classes on Wednesdays. So, I call CHAD over to me, and he sits his clumsy mechanical body down on the sofa. CHAD is one of the cheaper household AI models but still has intelligence on par with the average person, meaning he makes a great video game player.
9:00 AM After losing to CHAD in every 2 player game I own, CHAD advises I stop playing and move around. I know it’s in his programming and he can’t help it, but it’s frustrating when the last thing you want to do is get up.
10:00 AM During my walk through the woods, I find a group of public cleaning AI, supervised by a few people, messing around. They must have been done with their routine morning debris clearing and were taking a break before moving locations. I was? amazed at how clean the area was and hadn’t noticed until I saw the group.
2:00 PM I finally wrapped up my work and got up from my chair to CHAD, who said he “made” me a snack, although I prefer the wording “got,” since all he did was bring me a bag of pretzels. By now my friends have also finished their work, and are at the door.
One asks, “Are you done with work for the day? We’re just heading out to the park.” “Yeah,” I responded, “Let me get my shoes.” CHAD must have heard me because the next thing I knew CHAD was trying to lift me up and put me into my shoes, rather than putting my shoes onto me. “CHAD, stop,” I said, “alright, I got this. I know how to put shoes on.” “We’ll meet you outside,” says one of my friends.
3:00 PM After a long walk, we had made it to the park. “What should we do?” asks one friend. “I don’t know, maybe we sh–” I’m cut off by CHAD–who we did not bring with us–who was holding my sunglasses.
5:00 PM I’ve built a fort before, but never with CHAD’s help. Normally, I could make a small teepee just large enough to fit inside in about 2 hours. In the same amount of time me, my friends, and CHAD (mostly CHAD) build a massive 2-story treehouse, with one ground floor and one up in the tree. CHAD has a huge amount of tools at his disposal, and one I always found interesting is this little tube that pops out of his arm that shoots nails. I thought it was useless until today. CHAD had developed a rhythm of finding a big log, chopping it into long, thin boards, then nailing them into the tree where we needed them using his nail gun thing. “Woah! Don’t point that at us!” I exclaim.CHAD responds confidently, “It’s impossible for me to harm you in any way, as there is a strict code governing my actions with my top priority being to please you.”

CHAD’s version of “please” me doesn’t always mean do what I want, sometimes what he thinks is best. Right now, though, CHAD is having as much fun as a chunk of metal can.

6:00 PM The fort is finally finished. After hours of CHAD working and my friends and I sitting and watching, the last touches have been added. “It should be durable enough to last quite a while,” states CHAD in his robotic voice. “You don’t have to brag about your building abilities, CHAD. Leave it at that,” says one of my friends. We begin to make the trek home, and it feels excruciatingly long due to CHAD feeling the need to explain every single plant we pass.
7:00 PM We make it home and walk into my parents’ serving dinner. Both of my parents are AI software developers and have pretty flexible hours, so they are sometimes home relatively early. My dad always explains how when he was young there weren’t any AI robots to clean up for you, make your food, and all that. He likes to make food on his own when he can, and he always tells me not to rely on CHAD too much. My mom always talks about old smartphones, before they were holographic. She says never to complain about a phone being slow nowadays because old ones would sometimes take more than 10 seconds to load. According to her, computers are so efficient now that her friends keep losing their jobs to robots.
10:00 PM After dinner, I get ready for bed, and CHAD and I resume our gaming. After hours of trying, I finally beat CHAD at a racing game. I’m so excited I tell my parents, and they congratulate me. “We’re so proud of you. What an important accomplishment,” says my dad, in the most sarcastic tone I have ever heard. I don’t tell them why I won though (CHAD ran out of battery) because that would ruin it.
11:00 CHAD enters parent mode, “Time to sleep. You need rest.” “Why do you wake me up at 6:00 then, if I need rest?” I counter. “Time to sleep. You need–”“Alright. I got it.”

Answers to prompts

A. An international agreement was made stating that all countries obtaining human-level or above AI must have a scientifically owned institution for training AI to know exactly when to obey, and when not to obey. These institutions are unaffected by the government and the government cannot control them internally. Keeping these institutions exclusive to the scientific community makes it as objective as possible, evading disagreement.

Q. The dynamics of an AI-filled world may depend a lot on how AI capability is distributed. In your world, is there one AI system that is substantially more powerful than all others, or a few such systems, or are there many top-tier AI systems of comparable capability? Or something else?

A. All systems must follow the same International AI Regulation Institution, that any AI system, government or AI run, is required to be part of. Any system must disclose all innovations to be judged safe or not, and all systems must follow the same Ethical AI Code under the Institution.

Q. How has your world avoided major arms races and wars, regarding AI/AGI or otherwise?

A. Major conflicts and tensions were avoided by ridding the world of its nuclear weapons. AI would help ensure that other countries aren’t building nuclear weapons, or more generally, enforcing international law. AI would be the international mind that alerted any other country of suspicious activity against it. This would hold true for all countries so everyone would be monitored and peace could be achieved.

Q. In the US, EU, and China, how and where is national decision-making power held, and how has the advent of advanced AI changed that?

A. Decision-making is held within a jointly run body between the EU, China, and the US. All three sides have a say in the political and financial decisions made, and each of the three parties has multiple internal government votes to decide on what decisions are made. AI then processes these decisions, and assures that no significant danger is created by them.

Q. Is the global distribution of wealth (as measured say by national or international gini coefficients) more, or less, unequal than 2021’s, and by how much? How did it get that way?  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient)

A. Due to the growth of the population, the money in the hands of the poor people will spread thinner, leading to somewhat more unequal wealth distribution than now. However, the overall standards of living will be higher, thanks to a growing economy, cheaper energy and AI regulations.

Q. What is a major problem that AI has solved in your world, and how did it do so?

A. There are several major problems AI helped to solve in our world: Loneliness (via AI companions and more social connections via AI-enhanced social networks); Education (personalized AI education) and Medicine availability ( personalized AI-assisted medicine, available 24/7 in any location) 

Q. What is a new social institution that has played an important role in the development of your world?

A. The new social institution that plays a role in the development of our world is Parent Education Institute, providing free education and informational and psychological support to all families, whether they want to go on the path of public schooling or homeschooling.
