AI in 2035: Bernstein Examines Future Scenarios for China and the West

Published on

Staff Reporter

Analysts at Bernstein predict a radically transformed digital landscape by 2035, where artificial intelligence reshapes human interaction, entertainment, and commerce. They suggest that China may surpass the West in developing AI applications.

Referencing the 2004 film I, Robot, which is set in 2035, Bernstein envisions AI evolving from reactive recommendation systems to proactive personal assistants that tailor digital experiences at minimal production costs. According to their analysis, current AI algorithms already understand internet users better than they understand themselves, hinting that AI could take over roles now filled by online platforms, connecting buyers and sellers, building trust, and ensuring fulfillment.

China’s Advantage in AI

Bernstein believes that AI application layers will likely develop more rapidly in China than in the West, reflecting China’s leadership in areas like short-form video, e-commerce, and AI-driven recommendation systems. As AI increasingly replaces human labor, China’s population may shift towards greater consumption of digital content and experiences.

The Rise of AI-Generated Content

The analysts forecast a split in the media landscape, with AI-generated content dominating in quantity while high-quality, human-created content maintains a “scarcity premium.” They humorously noted, “AI could ingest the Taylor Swift discography and produce something similar. But would it be… Taylor?” This suggests that authentic human creativity may remain irreplaceable.

Automation and Its Societal Impact

The report raises concerns about potential societal changes as AI automates various jobs, questioning the future of millions of workers, from rideshare drivers to delivery personnel. Bernstein ponders if the wealthy will use AI to keep the masses entertained, suggesting that in an AI-driven world, the ultimate luxury could be the human touch.
