This is 100 Years From Now, a weekly series. Once a week, we skip ahead a century and imagine ordinary life in a world that’s had a hundred years to absorb the things we’re only beginning to build. No predictions — just honest speculation about where our choices lead.
This week: what happens when every living thing — wild, farmed, and human — carries an AI inside it.
We embedded chips in cattle to squeeze out more milk. In chickens to time their eggs. In pigs to keep the meat tender. Then we put them in ourselves — for health, for focus, for calm. A century later, nobody can tell whether the thought they just had was theirs.
