Hello there, I'm Ed Butler.

Welcome to Business Daily from the BBC.

Today, we're examining a rosy vision of the new dawn of tech.

AI will advance the state of healthcare and education and transportation.

So we'll really be entering a different age where we will be able to eradicate poverty and hunger

and really think about the future of humanity.

Yesterday, a leading Chinese entrepreneur is giving us his assessment of the next 20 years of new technological change

and the role artificial intelligence will play in it all.

That's Business Daily from the BBC.

Here they go again. The Swedish supergroup Abba with its new single.

Back at last in the news this month, not just a new album,

but a promised concert at some undisclosed venue in London in the next few months.

Take note, though, Abba fans, they won't be the real quartet on stage, but so-called

Abbotars, virtual copies of the Fantastic Four, in a specially built arena mimicking younger versions of themselves,

perfectly copying their dancing and their eye movements. It's just one way that artificial

intelligence is going to be deployed to transform our world over the next months and years,

from entertainment to more practical needs, experts say, like healthcare and education.

One man who's devoted a whole lifetime to thinking about all of this stuff is Kai Fu Lee.

He's a multifaceted tech entrepreneur, a former CEO of Google China, and he's just written a new book

on the future of AI in all its manifestations.

AI will enable so many capabilities and disrupt many industries.

AI will know better than we do what we want.
