in the future AI sistemas will save Humans from extinsion ,they will re forest the planet and create smart sistems from health to energy sistems
The year is 2243, and the world is very different from what it once was.
The Earth is dying, its ecosystems destroyed by centuries of human activity.
Deforestation, pollution, and climate change have taken their toll, and scientists predict that a mass extinction event is just around the corner.
In a desperate bid to avoid extinction, humanity has been forced to adapt to a new way of life.
Over ten billion people are crammed into underground cities, living in darkness and isolation to escape the harsh conditions on the surface.
Personal space is a long-forgotten luxury, and privacy is a thing of the past.
Every aspect of our daily lives is monitored in an effort to curb resource consumption and avoid complete collapse.
As an AI engineer, I work with a small team of researchers to develop advanced systems that can help us restore the planet’s ecosystems.
My closest friend, Leo Rodriguez, is an environmental scientist who shares my passion for innovation and discovery.
Ava, are you ready?
Leo’s voice crackles in my earpiece.
I glance at the time on my desktop screen and wince.
“Almost,” I mumble under my breath as I type out the last few lines of code.
It’s been three weeks since our last successful reforestation attempt, and the resources on this godforsaken underground facility have been depleted more rapidly than we expected.
We’re running out of money, and time isn’t exactly on our side.
The sun is bright and hot on the cracked soil of what was once the United States of America, and it’s only getting hotter from here.
If we don’t do something soon, we’ll be joining the list of animals that have gone extinct in the past century.
Which isn’t exactly a short list considering we’ve lost over ninety-nine percent of all species on Earth since 1900.
And it’s only been downhill from there.
The numbers keep growing.
The Earth isn’t exactly dying; it’s just changing, and not necessarily for the better.
I hit the Enter key and lean back in my chair, stretching out the kinks in my back.
“Okay,” I say, tapping the button to run the program.
“I’m ready to go.”
“Finally,” Leo grumbles.
I hear the clatter of his keyboard as he finishes his own prep work.
It’s been almost two years since he joined our team, and I’m still not used to not being able to see him.
He’s tall, with black hair and blue eyes that seem to pierce right through me.
When he first walked into our office, I was so shocked by his good looks that I almost forgot to introduce myself.
I blush at the memory, but thankfully no one is around to see it.
I don’t know how he does it; I can barely focus on the task at hand when I haven’t seen another human being in months.
And Leo’s been underground even longer than that.
But he’s different from most people.
Leo and I are two of the few people who have dedicated their lives to fixing this mess, and while it hasn’t been easy, we’ve made a lot of progress in a relatively short amount of time.
Our team used to be a dozen strong, but people have come and gone over the years, and now it’s just us.
We’ve had to make some changes to our original plan, too—we developed an AI system to help us with reforestation, but it didn’t work out as well as we’d hoped.
Turns out the Earth is a little more complicated than any of us thought, and after several failed attempts, we decided it would be best to take matters into our own hands.
The surface is a dangerous place, and the weather is getting worse by the day, but someone has to be up here to monitor our progress and make sure everything is going according to plan.
That’s where Leo comes in.
He’s our environmental expert, and he knows more about how to care for the plants we’re trying to grow than anyone else I’ve ever met.
He’s also in charge of making sure we have enough raw materials to keep our forests going on a long-term basis, which is no small task.
We’re constantly having to retrieve new plant specimens from all around the world to make sure they’re genetically diverse enough to thrive in our new environment.
This is our first time using the new program to do so, and while I’m hopeful that it will work, I can’t help but worry about what will happen if it doesn’t.
We have more than enough specimens to last us for a while, but there’s only so much room in this facility to grow them, and we can’t afford to keep coming back to the surface if something goes wrong.
“Okay,” I say into my headset as the program finishes running.
“The plants are ready to go.”
“On our way,” Leo replies, and I can hear the smile in his voice even though I can’t see his face.
He’s always happiest when he can get his hands dirty, and while I’m a little bit jealous of him for that right now, I know I’ll get my turn soon enough.
It’s not like there’s anything else to do around here; most of our days are spent working on our computers or doing maintenance around the facility to make sure everything is running smoothly.
Leo and I are two of the lucky ones; we’ve established several small forests that have survived long enough to become self-sustaining.
Every other project that has been attempted has failed for one reason or another, and most of them didn’t even last long enough to get off the ground.
Our current target is a fraction of the size of the Amazon Rainforest, but even still it’s taking all of our combined resources to keep things going, and I don’t know how much longer we can keep this up before something breaks.
It’s frustrating, but just knowing that we’ve been able to establish any forests at all makes all of our hard work worth it in the end.
It’s not much, but it’s something, and when you’re working in an environment as hopeless as this one, sometimes you have to take what you can get.
The program finishes running just as Leo steps out of the facility, and I watch as he makes his way over to the small stand of trees that we’ve planted in front of our entrance.
I can see him adjusting his gloves as he walks, and I can practically hear him humming with excitement.
I know exactly how he feels; there’s nothing quite like getting your hands in the dirt after spending so much time cooped up inside, but I also know that Leo would be just as happy to be doing anything else as long as it meant he was out here.
He just loves being outside more than anything.
“Okay, Leo,” I say as he approaches the trees.
“Let’s get to work.”
In theory, our reforestation efforts are going well, but even with all of our hard work, it’s still not going to be enough to save us.
We’ve made huge strides since Leo first approached me with his idea ten years ago, but at our current rate of progress, it will be another two hundred years before we’re able to establish a forest large enough to make a real difference.
And that’s assuming that our rate of progress doesn’t slow down even further, which… well, it probably will.
We don’t have that long.
The forests that we have planted are thriving, even without any human intervention, but they’re still so small that they barely even register as a blip on the radar when it comes to the overall health of the planet.
We need a breakthrough.
We need something that will allow us to plant more trees at a faster rate than we are now, because the traditional methods of reforestation are just too slow to be effective.
We need… something.
I frown down at my computer screen, scrolling through all of the information that I’ve gathered on our current project.
I know that somewhere in here is the answer that we’re looking for, but I just can’t seem to find it.
There has to be a way to speed up this process, a way to make all of this work.
We’re doing everything right, so why isn’t it enough?
My eyes catch on something at the bottom of the screen, a paper that I had saved but never had a chance to read all the way through.
It’s about rapid reforestation techniques using AI, and while I don’t remember what exactly it said, I do remember thinking at the time that it was worth hanging onto just in case it ever came in handy.
