August 19, 2036. Today a historical event took place: the creation of the world’s first virtual country, called “NovaTera”, was announced. This virtual country, based on blockchain technology and controlled by artificial intelligence, offers its citizens the opportunity to live and work in a completely digital space.
The founder of the project, entrepreneur Liam Chen, said that NovaTera provides virtual housing, workspaces and social interactions that do not depend on physical location. During the first day, more than 100 thousand people applied for virtual citizenship. However, experts have expressed concerns about data security and possible cyber attacks on digital infrastructure.
Man-made disaster: chemical leak at a plant in India due to a failure of the AI system
September 22, 2034. A major man-made disaster occurred in the Indian city of Visakhapatnam: a chemical leak at a MegaChem chemical plant caused by a failure in an artificial intelligence-based control system. The AI system responsible for monitoring the safety and handling of chemicals malfunctioned, leading to an uncontrolled release of toxic substances into the air and the nearby Godavari River. The accident injured more than 500 people, of whom 20 are in critical condition due to poisoning from chemical fumes and contaminated water. Local residents living along the river were evacuated within a 5-kilometer radius of the plant, and authorities declared a state of emergency.
MegaChem CEO Rajeev Patel expressed deep condolences and promised a thorough investigation into the reasons for the AI system failure. Environmentalists warn of potential long-term environmental and public health impacts, especially with new management technologies that require stricter controls and monitoring.
Elon Musk, one of the leading experts in the field of AI, commented on the situation: “This incident highlights the need to develop more reliable and secure AI systems. AI systems in India may have been used that do not meet global quality standards.” A version of a possible hacker attack initiated by AI hackers is also being considered, which could lead to a failure in the chemical process control system.
