Summaries and future perspectives

This chapter will present a book summary, followed by detailed chapter summaries. The chapter will then address the emerging trend of artificially produced texts through artificial intelligence (AI) bots. Thus, people will become movers of artificially produced texts. As such their status will be like that of people who move some material industrial products using any kind of terrestrial, aerial, or maritime vehicles for their transport. Still, there are two major differences between the moving processes of products, on the one hand, and artificially produced information, on the other. First, the transmission of information is rather automatic and autonomous. Second, industrial products are produced in large identical quantities, whereas every transmitted packet of artificially produced information will be unique. Hence, in the future, the very movement of people and information through personal mobilities will remain the same from the action perspective, namely that bodies and information will continue to move from place to place. However, most of the dimensions in charge of this action are about to be reframed: the mobility technologies (notably the upcoming AVs); the roles of individuals in their operations (initiators, passive performers, and controllers rather than operators), and the nature of moved information, since some of the information will be automatically produced, rather than by the person who will move it.
