Future Thinking with AI
AI will enhance search to create interactive reasoning and analytical systems. Search engines today do not know "why" we want some information and hence cannot reason about it. They also do not interact with us to help with analysis. An AI system that collects information based on knowing why it is needed and then asks more questions to refine its search would be clearly available well before 2030. These "search-thinking-bots" will also write up analyses based on parameters elicited from the conversation, and imbue these analyses with different political (left/right) and linguistic (aggressive/mild) slants, chosen by the human, using advances in language generation, which are already well underway. These "intellectual" agents will become companions, helping us make sense of our information overload.
