The Age of Artificial
Technology
Welcome to 2026: The Age of Artificial. Humans rely on chatbots for emotional support. They ride in autonomous vehicles while scrolling through an endless feed of generated videos. Thermostats are controlled from mobile devices, or even auto-adjust themselves. Artificial intelligence has seeped into almost every aspect of life.
Is this how humans are meant to exist? Is life truly better this way? Is this what most people want?
