In a recent twist that sounds straight out of a sci-fi novel, a passenger found themselves trapped inside a driverless car that decided to go on a joyride in circles. While this might seem like a one-off incident, it could be a weak signal of a much larger trend on the horizon. Looking at another recent weak signal, this time from the airline industry, we can imagine a future where airlines, tired of dealing with delays and unruly passengers, start debiting your "card on file" for every little disturbance you cause. Missed your flight because you were late? That's a $50 charge. Argued with the flight attendant about which meal you pre-ordered? Another $20. The possibilities are endless, with the airlines laughing all the way to the bank.
Comical, we know. And… with the rise of AI, airlines might not stop at just debiting your card. Picture this: every week, AI-powered systems file lawsuits against passengers who misbehave. Little courtroom drama, and efficient and profitable. It sounds far-fetched, but one can imagine this being a real revenue generator for the airlines. So next time you're on a flight, remember to be on your best behavior – you never know when the future might catch up with you!
