Seeking Like-minded Scholars to Form a Discussing Group on a Contingency Plan for Marketing in 2035+
In my just published book µþ±ð³¦´Ç³¾¾±²Ô²µÌýHomo lucidu (published by Routledge), I proposed the world will start to transition to a society of abundance, fairness and peace around 2035, enabled and guided by Digital Intelligence, and likely complete this transition by 2045. In this world, each human will have their own tutelary Digital Intelligence (tDI) to help navigate decisions and safeguard against threats, whether from other humans or malevolent Digital Intelligence entities. This perspective aligns with predictions from many at the forefront of AI development, even as specific details and timelines may differ.
The probability of such a paradigm shift is now significant enough, in my opinion, to warrant proactive and serious consideration within the marketing discipline … how will we teach, conduct research, and redefine our discipline in the years between 2035 and 2045?
Thus, I am seeking like-minded scholars who are concerned about the future of marketing in this rapidly evolving landscape to form a discussing group on a Contingency Plan for the year 2035 and beyond.
Please email me if you are interested, minding@planetding.org or minding@psu.edu
Thanks.
