Andrew Liveris on inclusive capitalism, quality of life and Artificial Intelligence

Andrew introduces this concept by remarking that the planet we populate by 2100 must embed the concept of resiliency, without this 11 billion people will face incredibly significant or insurmountable problems.
To achieve a state of resiliency we probably need to develop towards what Andrew calls an “inclusive capital approach”.

He says that capital must flow to create a truly inclusive society and scientists and engineers lie at the heart of the inclusivity debate. Meaning that scientists need to speak about policy as comfortably as they speak about science.

But to support his Andrew says that we will have new tools to help us. This starts when the machines do, in fact, become cognitive and lead us to this new level of insights that AI promises, which is new machine insights to augment human thinking.

Andrew predicts that the class of society that practices inclusive capitalism should be firmly in place by 2100. This means taking machine insights and human insights and solving the intractable problems of resilience under the notion that we can no longer take advantage of (exploit without consequences) the resources on this planet alone.

He states that we must value nature. By putting a price on nature, we can expand nature on this planet, so that the growth from 7 to 9 to 11 billion people is manageable. He continues that by 2100 he expects we will solve this problem using machine-based AI and the merging of machine and human would probably be well in place.
The goal is to allow all 11 billion people to have one quality of life, the highest quality of life a resilient planet can provide.
If we are not prepared to embrace this resilient future right now the tectonic downside could to a “World War.” This concept is explored later in the article.

Andrew concludes this section by noting that the youth of the world are insisting and asking us to solve these problems and that chemical engineers and scientists should start to rejoice over the emergence of this future.
