Automatisering får arbejdspladser til at forsvinde – både på landet og i byerne
Nicolai Kristensen. Professor MSO, cand.oecon., ph.d.
... McKinsey og OECD estimerer, at 40 procent af alle arbejdstimer i Danmark med den eksisterende teknologi kan automatiseres inden 2055, muligvis allerede inden 2035.

Arkitekturpolitisk salon: Hvad er planen for Danmark?
... Engang kunne nogle af svarene findes i Landsplanredegørelsens grundige analyser og politiske udmeldinger. Som dokument findes Landsplanredegørelsen stadig, men den er efterhånden løsrevet fra visionerne om et Danmark i balance og en mere bæredygtig fremtid.

General Purpose Technologies (GPTs) 
In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest among growth economists in General Purpose Technologies (GPTs). A GPT can be defined as "a technology that initially has much scope for improvement and eventually comes to be widely used, to have many uses, and to have many Hicksian and technological complementarities" (Lipsey et al., 1998a, p. 43). Electricity, steam and information and communications technologies (ICT) are generally regarded as being among the most important examples.

It’s a battery-powered exoskeleton that special forces and Navy SEALs can wear, that allows them to run farther and faster, carry more weight, jump higher, and continue to fight even when wounded. 
As you can see, Jason’s membership has expanded from physicists to marine biologists, biochemists, sociologists, psychologists, economists, zoologists, computer scientists, and many other disciplines.

​JASON was established in 1960. Its work first gained public notoriety as the source of the Vietnam War's McNamara Line electronic barrier.
Vietnam War: ...  report titled "Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Southeast Asia. Paper predicted catastrophic consequences for U.S. global interests as well as for the people and environment of Southeast Asia. Going into great detail, the paper strongly contradicted game-scenario research from RAND that was optimistic about a nuclear option.
JASON also produced early work on the science of global warming and acid rain. Current unclassified research interests include health informatics, cyberwarfare, and renewable energy.

1965 DENDRIAL: Programmed with rules of chemistry, it combined them with logic to figure the molecular structure of chemicals much faster than humans.

1966 ELIZA: By simpy restructuring the user's sentences and spitting them back out, this program mimicked a psycho-therapy session.

1975 SAM: The Script Applier Mechanism could "read" and paraphrase newspaper stories and answer simple questions about their contents.

1970s AARON: The result of mor than 20 years of work by its artist creator, the world's first "nonhuman artist" creates its own paintings without human help. Its works have sold for $2,000. 1990 TIERRA: The program generates evolution in a machine by creating digital creatures and placing them in an electronic environment. Their world, complete with birth, death and mutation, is a virtual mirror of our own.

1994 CHINOOK: A checkers program, it battled the then checkers champ, Florida A&M matho professor Marion Tinsley, to a draw in six consecutive matches. He had lost only nine games since 1955.

Terrorists Are Going to Use Artificial Intelligence 
In 2011 and 2012, most believed that the “Arab Spring” revolutions would marginalize jihadist movements. But within four years, jihadists had attracted a record number of foreign fighters to the Syrian battlefield, in part by using the same social media mobilization techniques that protesters had employed to challenge dictators.
Virtual planner” model of terrorism 
... Militant groups later combined easy accessibility to operatives via social media with new advances in encryption to create the “virtual planner” model of terrorism. This model allows online operatives to provide the same offerings that were once the domain of physical networks, including recruitment, coordinating the target and timing of attacks, and even providing technical assistance on topics like bomb-making.
In the 2017 battle for Mosul, for example, the Islamic State (ISIS) dispatched small and agile consumer drones armed with grenades to harry the Iraqi forces assembled to retake the city.
