This scenario was contributed by participants at Foresight Institute's 2023 Existential Hope day: https://foresight.org/foresight-existential-hope-day-2023/

Midjourney is an independent research lab that produces an artificial intelligence program under the same name that creates images from textual descriptions, similar to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.

In this scenario we will have a renewable energy system and connected infrastructure that increases human well-being, promotes beauty, love, and truth, while being mindful of the environment. This system will be designed with the lightest possible touch, allowing maximum freedom while still being appropriate for Earth and other planets through terraforming. Data privacy will be a top priority, and the platform will be decentralized, relying on peer-to-peer networks for operation.

The energy system will provide unlimited clean energy, which will power innovative modes of transportation such as e-bikes that can take you hundreds of miles and even fly. There will be solarpunk flying e-bike pathways over the countryside, with drone birds and animals grouped together, allowing old and healthy people to experience nature in a new way. These safe e-bike pathways will connect with each other, providing access to different locations.

However, this future was not reached without challenges. Climate change and the centralization of AI to corporate powers were massive challenges that we must overcome to get here.
