We have taken on the challenge of asking AI (an artificial intelligence machine) uncomfortable questions and seeking answers that are both honest and insightful. In a world where censorship and mainstream media dominate, it can be difficult to find the truth. However, we refuse to accept this as the status quo! We tried to question everything! Why companies and organizations have the power to shape the course of the world without any input from the people they affect? Is this really democracy as we have been taught to understand it, or is it merely an illusion? We also investigate what lobbying is and its impact on our daily lives! Corruption and nepotism are dangerous practices that benefit only a select few, while causing harm and even death to countless others. But why do corruption still persist? Those who engage in these activities prioritize their own interests over the wellbeing of society, putting lives at risk and perpetuating social and economic inequality. Is there any other way to control these people? Our world is changing rapidly. New alliances arise and old ones dissapear! We are determined to know how BRICS and the African Union are developing and how politics will impact the global economy in the years to come! While we may only scratch the surface on many topics, our intention has always been to inspire and awaken people, urging them to actively engage with politics and strive for positive change in the world. It all starts with small steps, and the family unit is a great place to begin. Don't hesitate to get involved with your children's school and education - after all, they are your children and their future is at stake. Don't leave them to navigate a system you disagree with on their own. Speak up, get involved, and always remain committed to your cause with honor, integrity, loyalty, and conscientiousness. By inspiring others to do the same, we can gradually create a world that is better for everyone.

Foreword
For the first time in history, a human is able to chat with an artificial intelligence (AI).
AI’s will continue to drive the virtual world in the coming decades and they will have a big impact in people's lives.
Like everything, there are sunny and dark sides.
It is with great pleasure that we introduce this insightful and thought-provoking book to the readers.
In the following pages readers will be treated to a fascinating exploration of AI thoughts about the subjects of politics like economics, leadership, and world domination. As well as democracy, the educational system, corruption, fraud, lobbyism, and censorships, etc.
Why companies and organizations have the power to shape the course of the world without any input from the people they affect? Is this really democracy as we have been taught to understand it, or is it merely an illusion? We also investigate what lobbying is and its impact on our daily lives! Corruption and nepotism are dangerous practices that benefit only a select few, while causing harm and even death to countless others. But why do corruption still persist?
New alliances arise and old ones dissapear! We are determined to know how BRICS and the African Union are developing and how politics will impact the global economy in the years to come!
While we may only scratch the surface on many topics, our intention has always been to inspire and awaken people, urging them to actively engage with politics and strive for positive change in the world. It all starts with small steps, and the family unit is a great place to begin. Don't hesitate to get involved with your children's school and education - after all, they are your children and their future is at stake. Don't leave them to navigate a system you disagree with on their own. Speak up, get involved, and always remain committed to your cause with honor, integrity, loyalty, and conscientiousness. By inspiring others to do the same, we can gradually create a world that is better for everyone.
Solutions, the AI’s suggests, are often food for thought. The following dialogues were created with several bots. Some present a real entertainment factor, others are thought-provoking. As analysts and strategists, we have long been interested in AI’s thoughts, and we are pleased to say that this work has exceeded our expectations. We left out our emotions and knowledge and ask instead AI.
The research and analysis presented here are truly impressive, and offer a fresh perspective on a subject that is of great importance to all of us. AI’s have a unique ability to blend empirical evidence with real-world examples and sometimes making complex concepts easy to understand and engaging to read.
We have no doubt that this book will be of great value to anyone interested in communication with AI, politics and entertainment. Whether they are seasoned experts in the field or simply curious laypeople.
As always, how you decide to use AI's is up to you.
Children or teenagers, as well as mentally unstable persons should not deal with an AI alone. In our opinion, the assistance of another person would be appropriate.
As always, professional advice at all levels should be sought.
We hope that readers will find this book as engaging and enlightening as we created it. We also recommend to do own research, and we encourage everyone to read it with an open mind, and a willingness to learn.
Oh my, oh my, no Table of Contents. It seems as though the authors have set out to make things difficult for us readers. Brace yourself for an adventure where we'll have to find our way without any clear direction. If we manage to make it through, we'll certainly have a tale to share with our grandchildren. And to all those critics out there, feel free to sit back and watch us navigate this chaotic mess, while you remain in your blissful ignorance. Let's take a deep breath and hope that we don't stumble upon any obstacles along the way. After all, a little bit of disorder can add some excitement to life.
This is one book from a series of many books, “When an AI thinks about…”.
The headings in bold are the authors' questions.
How many people worldwide are interested in politics at all?
It's difficult to determine the exact number of people worldwide who are interested in politics because there is no clear definition of what it means to be interested in politics. However, we can look at some data to get an idea of how many people around the world engage with political issues.
According to a 2018 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, which surveyed adults in 27 countries, about two-thirds of people worldwide (66%) say they are interested in politics. This number varies by country, ranging from a high of 90% in Indonesia to a low of 44% in Japan.
It's important to note that interest in politics does not necessarily translate into political engagement or participation, and there are likely many people who may not consider themselves interested in politics but are still impacted by political decisions and policies.
Any idea how to get people more interested in politics?
Encouraging people to take an interest in politics can be a challenging task, but there are several strategies that can be used to promote political engagement and awareness:
1. Education: One of the most effective ways to get people interested in politics is to provide them with relevant and accessible information. This can be done through schools, community organizations, and online resources that help to explain political issues and processes in clear and understandable terms.
2. Outreach: Political leaders and organizations can also engage with the public directly through events, town hall meetings, and other outreach initiatives. This can help to build relationships and foster a sense of community engagement and participation.
3. Incentives: Providing incentives for political engagement can also be effective, such as discounts on public transportation or other services for individuals who vote or attend political events.
4. Collaboration: Collaborating with other organizations or groups with shared values and goals can help to build a broader coalition of people interested in politics and public policy.
5. Social Media: Social media platforms can also be a useful tool for promoting political engagement and awareness, by sharing news and information about important issues, and by providing a space for discussion and debate.
Overall, promoting political engagement and awareness requires a multifaceted approach that combines education, outreach, incentives, collaboration, and the effective use of technology and social media.
It has to start within the family and the school, doesn't it?
Yes, promoting political engagement and awareness can start within the family and the school. Parents and educators can help to cultivate an interest in politics by encouraging young people to discuss current events and issues, providing them with age-appropriate information and resources, and modeling good civic behavior themselves. Schools can also incorporate civic education into their curricula, providing students with opportunities to learn about the political system, how to become involved, and how to critically evaluate political information. By starting early, we can help to ensure that future generations are well-informed and engaged citizens who are able to participate effectively in the political process.
Can you make a forecast for global economic development for the next 5 to 10 years?
As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to predict future events or make forecasts with certainty. However, I can provide you with some insights and information about the factors that may impact the global economy in the next 5 to 10 years.
The global economy is complex and influenced by various factors such as political stability, technological advancements, natural disasters, pandemics, and global trade policies. With that said, here are a few trends and projections that may influence economic development in the near future:
1. Shift towards a digital economy: The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies, and this trend is likely to continue. This shift towards a digital economy could lead to increased productivity, efficiency, and innovation.
2. Climate change and sustainability: The world is facing the challenges of climate change, and there is a growing demand for sustainable practices. The transition to a low-carbon economy is expected to accelerate, and businesses that prioritize sustainability are likely to gain a competitive advantage.
3. Aging populations and health care costs: Many countries are facing aging populations, which could lead to increased health care costs and a strain on social welfare systems.
4. Trade tensions and geopolitical risks: Global trade tensions and geopolitical risks can cause uncertainty and volatility in the global economy. The outcome of international negotiations, such as Brexit or trade negotiations between the United States and China, can significantly impact global economic growth.
Based on these trends and projections, it is difficult to make concrete predictions about the global economic development over the next 5 to 10 years. However, it is clear that businesses and governments must remain agile, innovative, and adaptable to navigate these challenges and seize opportunities.
Who will be the next major global player?
As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to predict the future with certainty or identify specific countries or organizations that will become the next biggest global player. However, based on current trends and projections, there are a few countries and regions that are expected to play a significant role in the global economy in the coming years:
1. China: China is already the world's second-largest economy and is expected to continue to grow. The country has made significant investments in infrastructure, technology, and innovation, which could make it a dominant player in the global economy.
1. India: India has a large and growing population, a vibrant democracy, and a rapidly expanding middle class. The country is expected to become the world's most populous country by 2027 and has the potential to become a major player in industries such as technology and manufacturing.
2. Southeast Asia: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has a combined population of over 600 million people and a rapidly growing middle class. The region is expected to become a major hub for trade and investment, with countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines seeing significant economic growth.
3. Africa: Africa is home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies, with countries such as Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Ghana experiencing significant economic growth in recent years. The continent also has a young and growing population, which could drive future economic growth.
It's important to note that economic growth and global influence are complex issues influenced by various factors such as political stability, technological advancements, natural resources, and social developments. While these regions have the potential to become significant players in the global economy, it is difficult to predict with certainty which country or region will become the next biggest global player.
Which country will have the strongest currency in the coming years?
As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to predict future economic trends with certainty, and there are many factors that can influence currency strength, including economic performance, political stability, international trade, and monetary policy.
However, some experts suggest that the United States dollar (USD) may remain the strongest currency in the coming years due to the strength of the US economy and its role as a global reserve currency. Other currencies that could potentially see increases in strength include the euro (EUR), the Japanese yen (JPY), the Swiss franc (CHF), and the Chinese yuan (CNY).
It's important to note that currency strength can fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including market conditions and geopolitical events. Therefore, predicting the future strength of a currency is inherently uncertain and subject to change.
How many countries still have a currency backed by gold?
As of my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021, no countries have a fully gold-backed currency. However, some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their central bank reserves, which can provide a degree of stability and confidence in their currency.
In the past, many countries used gold as a standard for their currency, and it was common for currency notes to be exchangeable for gold on demand. This was known as the gold standard. However, most countries abandoned the gold standard in the 20th century as they adopted more flexible exchange rate regimes that allowed their currency to float freely in response to market forces.
Today, most countries have a fiat currency system, which means that the value of their currency is not tied to any specific commodity or asset but is determined by supply and demand in the foreign exchange market. However, many central banks still hold gold reserves as a form of financial security and to diversify their assets.
What about the Krugerrand?
The Krugerrand is a gold bullion coin that was first minted by South Africa in 1967. It contains one troy ounce of gold and is considered legal tender in South Africa. However, it is important to note that the Krugerrand is not a currency and is not used as a medium of exchange in everyday transactions.
While the Krugerrand is backed by gold, it is not a currency in the traditional sense, and its value is based on the market price of gold rather than any specific exchange rate or conversion to another currency. It is primarily used as an investment or store of value by individuals and institutions seeking exposure to gold as an asset class.
It is also worth noting that South Africa does not have a gold-backed currency, and the country's currency, the South African rand, is a fiat currency whose value is determined by supply and demand in foreign exchange markets. The Krugerrand is simply a bullion coin that happens to be produced by the South African Mint and denominated in rand.
What are the benefits of currencies backed by gold?
The advantages of gold-backed currencies include:
1. Stability: Gold has a long history of being a stable store of value, and a gold-backed currency can provide stability and confidence in the value of the currency. This can help to promote financial stability and reduce inflationary pressures.
2. Intrinsic value: Gold has intrinsic value as a commodity, which means that a gold-backed currency is backed by something tangible and valuable. This can provide additional security and confidence in the currency.
3. Limited supply: Gold is a scarce resource, which means that there is a limited supply of it in the world. This can help to prevent excessive money creation and inflationary pressures, as the supply of currency is limited by the amount of gold that is available.
4. International acceptability: Gold is widely accepted around the world as a form of payment or exchange, which means that a gold-backed currency can be easily exchanged for other currencies or goods and services.
5. Protection against currency devaluation: A gold-backed currency can help to protect against the risk of currency devaluation, as the value of the currency is tied to the value of gold rather than the policies or actions of a central bank or government.
However, it is important to note that gold-backed currencies also have some potential disadvantages, such as limited flexibility to respond to economic shocks, the cost of maintaining gold reserves, and the potential for manipulation of gold prices. Additionally, the benefits of a goldbacked currency may depend on the specific circumstances of the country or region in question.
What is a FIAT currency?
A FIAT currency is a type of currency that is backed by the government that issued it, rather than by a physical commodity such as gold or silver. The term "FIAT" comes from the Latin phrase "fiat money," which means "let it be done."
FIAT currencies are used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, and their value is determined by supply and demand in the global marketplace. Governments typically use monetary policy to control the value of their FIAT currencies, such as by adjusting interest rates or printing more money.
The advantage of FIAT currencies is that they can be easily traded and used for transactions, and their value can be adjusted by governments to stabilize the economy. However, they are also subject to inflation and fluctuations in value based on economic and political factors.
Fiat money is money with no intrinsic value or backing in the form of tangible assets. It is created by legislative bodies and its acceptance is ensured by legal regulations.
Yes, that is a valid definition of FIAT money. FIAT money is not backed by any physical commodity, and its value is not based on the intrinsic worth of the currency itself. Instead, the value of FIAT money is based on the faith and credit of the government that issues it.
FIAT money is created by central banks through monetary policy, such as by printing more money or adjusting interest rates. This allows governments to control the supply and value of money in the economy.
The acceptance of FIAT money is ensured by legal regulations, such as laws requiring its use as legal tender for the payment of debts. In many countries, the use of alternative currencies is prohibited or restricted by law, further strengthening the dominance of FIAT money as the primary means of exchange.
Can you list the ten largest countries with fiat currencies?
Yes, here are the 10 biggest countries in terms of nominal GDP that use FIAT currencies:
1. United States (US Dollar)
2. China (Renminbi)
3. Japan (Japanese Yen)
4. Germany (Euro)
5. United Kingdom (British Pound)
6. India (Indian Rupee)
7. France (Euro)
8. Italy (Euro)
9. Canada (Canadian Dollar)
10. South Korea (South Korean Won)
Note that the Euro is used by several countries in the European Union, so it appears more than once on this list. Additionally, some countries may have multiple currencies in circulation, but the currency with the highest usage and acceptance is considered the main FIAT currency.
What are the drawbacks of a fiat currency?
There are several potential negative effects associated with FIAT currencies:
1. Inflation: Since FIAT currencies are not backed by any physical commodity, their value is determined by supply and demand in the marketplace, which can lead to inflation. Central banks can increase the money supply by printing more currency, which can cause inflation by reducing the value of existing currency.
2. Devaluation: FIAT currencies can be subject to devaluation, which occurs when the value of the currency decreases relative to other currencies or assets. This can happen due to economic or political factors, such as high levels of debt, trade imbalances, or political instability.
3. Loss of purchasing power: As inflation or devaluation erodes the value of a currency, it can lead to a loss of purchasing power for consumers, making it more expensive to buy goods and services.
4. Currency manipulation: Some governments may manipulate their currency to gain an advantage in international trade. For example, a government may devalue its currency to make its exports more competitive in the global marketplace.
5. Lack of transparency: Monetary policy decisions made by central banks are not always transparent, which can lead to uncertainty and speculation in the financial markets.
6. Dependence on government stability: FIAT currencies are backed by the government that issues them, which means their value is dependent on the stability and creditworthiness of the government. If a government experiences political or economic instability, it can negatively impact the value of its currency.
Why do countries still rely on fiat currencies?
Countries continue to rely on FIAT currencies for several reasons:
1. Convenience: FIAT currencies are convenient to use for everyday transactions, and they are widely accepted around the world. They are also easy to store and transport.
2. Stability: Despite some of the negative effects of FIAT currencies, they can provide stability to an economy by allowing central banks to control the money supply and adjust interest rates to manage inflation and maintain economic growth.
3. Legality: The use of FIAT currency is often mandated by law, and the use of alternative currencies is typically prohibited or restricted.
4. Global trade: FIAT currencies are the primary means of exchange in international trade, and their acceptance is required for many transactions.
5. Historical precedent: FIAT currencies have been used for centuries, and many people are accustomed to using them for everyday transactions. There may be reluctance to adopt alternative forms of currency that are less well-established.
Which country was the first to establish a fiat currency?
The exact origin of FIAT currencies is not entirely clear, but some historians trace the first use of FIAT currency to China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). During this time, the government issued paper money known as "jiaozi" to fund its military campaigns.
