Automating Economy
A global transformation to harness the full potential of AI and robotics, amplifying human capabilities beyond current limits.
Current Progress
Global automation is advancing rapidly but unevenly across sectors and regions. AI and robotics are revolutionizing industries, while challenges of job displacement and ethical concerns persist.
Goals and Roadmap
The path to Type 1 civilization status requires a comprehensive transformation of global automation capabilities across five key domains: Ubiquitous AI Integration, Robotic Revolution, Autonomous Transportation, AI-Human Symbiosis, and Cognitive Automation. The journey begins with establishing foundational elements by 2030-2035, including a global AI research network, autonomous cargo shipping, brain-computer interfaces, and AI-driven education systems. These early achievements will create the infrastructure and frameworks necessary for more advanced developments.
The full transformation extends through mid-21st century, progressing from early automation milestones toward complete integration of AI and robotics into every aspect of civilization. Key long-term goals include 95% AI adoption across industries by 2045, deployment of 1 billion humanoid robots by 2045, 90% automation of manual labor by 2055, and a global network of fully automated factories by 2060. This staged progression reflects the massive scale of change required, accounting for both technological advancement and societal adaptation, ultimately leading to a fully automated planetary civilization by 2060. The timeline balances ambitious technological goals with realistic implementation challenges, acknowledging the need for careful management of social, economic, and ethical implications throughout the transition. Given the accelerating pace of AI development and its compound effects on technological progress, these goals appear increasingly achievable within this compressed timeframe, though they still require unprecedented levels of global cooperation, investment, and coordinated effort.
