Note: The following is a fictional, imaginative interview set in the year 2025, envisioning what Steve Jobs might say about the future of artificial intelligence if he were still with us.
Interviewer: Steve, it’s 2025, and AI has become integral to nearly every part of life. If you were leading Apple today, what would your vision for AI be?
Steve Jobs: I’ve always believed technology should augment the human experience, not overshadow it. AI is powerful—but the point isn’t to create a colder, more automated world. It’s to make technology feel more human. I’d focus on building AI that reinforces creativity, empathy, and curiosity. No one wants a future where technology is just smarter—people want their lives to be richer.
Interviewer: So how would that translate into products or services?
Jobs: AI should disappear into the fabric of daily life. Imagine an assistant that doesn’t just answer questions but truly understands your intent, your context, your wellbeing. It should anticipate your needs without being intrusive, learn your rhythms without being creepy. The best tech doesn’t feel like tech—it feels like a natural extension of who you are.
Interviewer: There’s a lot of concern over AI taking jobs. What’s your perspective?
Jobs: Any time there’s a technological leap, there’s fear—and there’s opportunity. AI should be a partner that takes on what’s repetitive or mundane so humans can focus on meaning, craft, art. We shouldn’t build AI to replace humans. We should build it to empower them—to help people find work that feels more human, not less.
Interviewer: If someone asked you for your design philosophy for AI experiences, what would it be?
Jobs: Design for the soul, not the spec sheet. AI shouldn’t just be fast or accurate. Does it make you feel respected? Heard? Inspired? That’s the litmus test. Today’s products are obsessed with engagement metrics. But the future belongs to experiences that honor privacy, nurture trust, and feel indispensable every single day.
Interviewer: What’s the danger if we get AI wrong?
Jobs: We risk building systems that are efficient but soulless, powerful but empty. If we architect AI around what’s easy—data collection, automation, control—we build a world that reflects those values. I’d rather invest in AI that is rooted in humanity: creativity, empathy, curiosity. If we don’t align AI with those values, we’ve missed the point.
Interviewer: You always pushed for simplicity. How does that apply to AI?
Jobs: Simplicity isn’t minimalism. It’s clarity. The best AI experiences will be the ones that reduce cognitive load, not increase it. Don’t bombard people with knobs and settings. Let the intelligence work behind the scenes, quietly. If you need a manual to work with an AI, we’ve failed.
Interviewer: Finally, how do you want us to approach the future of AI?
Jobs: With responsibility and optimism. Don’t just ask, “What can it do?” Ask “What should it do?” Technology doesn’t invent itself—we do. We have the chance to build AI that helps humanity rise to its best self. That’s the future worth building.
This imagined conversation captures the spirit of Steve Jobs—design-driven, human-centric, and forward-looking—as we explore what the future of AI might mean in 2025 and beyond.
