< viewing '2355: The Impact of Rapid AI Advancement'

Event:

By 2355, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) had profound and far-reaching 
impacts on global economies, particularly devastating third-world countries. These nations, 
already struggling with economic disparities, faced increased unemployment and economic 
collapse as AI-driven automation took over many jobs that were previously their economic lifeline, 
setting the stage for the Global Annexation by the Big Five in 2359.


	> Major Developments Leading up to 2355:
		Automation of Manufacturing: AI-powered robotics took over manufacturing processes, 
		from assembly lines to quality control, making human labor increasingly redundant. 
		AI and robotics offered cost advantages that companies could not ignore, leading 
		to the closure of human-operated factories, particularly in countries where labor 
		had previously been cheap.
		
		AI in Agriculture: AI systems and drones optimized planting, irrigation, and harvesting 
		processes, reducing the need for human labor in agriculture. Many third-world countries 
		relied heavily on exporting raw materials and low-cost manufactured goods. As developed 
		countries shifted to AI-driven production, they found their labor forces becoming obsolete 
		as AI technology took over farming tasks.
		
		Service Industry Transformations: Chatbots and virtual assistants began replacing people in the 
		21st century. At this point they had completely replaced call center jobs, which had been a 
		significant source of employment in many developing countries.

		AI-driven financial systems handled tasks such as customer service, fraud detection,
		and loan processing, reducing the need for human workers.
		
	

			
	

Details:

> The Downfall of Third World Economies
	Millions of workers in manufacturing, agriculture, and services lost their jobs to AI automation. 
	The displaced workforce often lacked the skills required for new AI-centric jobs, leading to 
	widespread unemployment and underemployment. Educational systems were not equipped to provide 
	the necessary skills for the new AI-driven economy.

	The sudden loss of employment resulted in a significant drop in household incomes, creating 
	higher reaching poverty levels. With reduced economic activity and consumer spending, 
	national economies contracted, leading to lower GDP and increased debt. Currencies of 
	these countries depreciated significantly, leading to hyperinflation 
	and further economic decline.

	Third-world countries struggled to access the latest AI technologies due to high costs and 
	intellectual property restrictions. This technological gap widened, leaving them further 
	behind. With economies in freefall, access to basic necessities like food and clean water 
	became scarce. Humanitarian crises emerged as millions faced starvation and disease. 
	Desperation led to mass migrations as people sought better opportunities and living 
	conditions in more stable regions.

	With third world economies collapsing led to political instability, with governments struggling 
	to maintain order and provide for their citizens. Political instability created power vacuums, 
	with some governments collapsing entirely. This destabilization had regional and global 
	implications.

	The economic and political turmoil in third-world countries allowed the Big Five—comprising
	the world's most powerful and technologically advanced nations—to expand their influence. 
	


	This all leads to The Global Annexation in 2359.
