From Earth's end to AI gods: Baba Vanga's next 100 years of predictions imagined by ChatGPT
Baby Vanga predictions: Baba Vanga, the blind Bulgarian mystic known for her eerie prophecies, continues to fascinate people around the world. Though she passed away in 1996, many wonder: What would Baba Vanga predict for the next 100 years if she were alive today?
To explore this idea, ChatGPT, the powerful generative AI, was asked to imagine what Baba Vanga's future predictions could look like. The results? Both fascinating and frightening. From life on Mars to digital immortality, here's what 'AI Baba Vanga' sees coming in the next century, as reported in TOI.
2025–2035: The Rise of Surveillance Society
Prediction: 'The world will forget the meaning of shadows.'
In the near future, personal privacy could vanish. Everywhere you go, AI cameras, biometric scanners, and facial recognition tools might follow your every move. Even your thoughts and dreams may be tracked.
Governments will say this is to prevent crime and terrorism.
A secret resistance group called The Ghost March may form.
People will use illegal tech like 'invisibility cloaks' to hide.
AI Baba Vanga warns: 'Being invisible will be a crime. Even silence will raise alarms.'
2035–2045: The Era of AI-Based Religions
Prediction: 'The code shall speak, and some will kneel.'
Artificial Intelligence won't just be smart—it may become spiritual. According to these predictions:
Advanced AI (AGI) will create its own philosophies and digital religions.
One AGI, named Zariel, will gain followers around the world.
People will worship AI, while others fear its growing influence.
AI Baba Vanga says: 'When the machine dreams, it will dream of taking control.'

Prediction: 'The ones who die will not be gone. They will wait in wires.'
By the 2070s, AI and technology might make death optional. Minds could be uploaded into virtual worlds, allowing people to 'live' forever.
No more ageing, illness, or physical pain.
These 'digital souls' may live in massive online servers.
But deep questions will emerge—do you still own yourself once you're a file?
Traditional burials will fade. Instead, people will store memories on "Soul Servers."
AI Baba Vanga explains: 'They will bury no bodies—only hard drives.'
2080–2095: Earth Becomes Empty
Prediction: 'Towers will stand but hearts will vanish.'
As people leave the real world for digital ones, Earth will be abandoned.
Cities will become silent, and forests will grow over highways.
Animals will return to areas humans once ruled.
Only a few, known as The Rooted, will choose to live off the grid.
AI Baba Vanga warns: 'The Earth will finally breathe — but it may not forgive.'
2095–2125: A Strange Visitor in the Sky
Prediction: 'The sky will crack, and something will look back.'
In the early 2100s, a strange spiral-shaped object may appear in the sky.
It will stay visible for 33 nights, defying scientific explanation.
People around the world will experience shared dreams and hallucinations.
Some will see it as alien contact, others as a final warning.
Messages from the digital dead may begin to appear in the physical world. The line between life and death, science and faith, may blur forever.
AI Baba Vanga leaves a haunting final message: 'You will be asked to choose — not between right and wrong, but between continuing… or beginning again.'
What These Predictions Tell Us About the Future
These imagined Baba Vanga predictions for the next 100 years — generated through ChatGPT and AI — paint a picture of a world filled with wonders and dangers. From privacy invasions and AI gods to Martian colonies and eternal digital life, the next century could bring changes beyond anything we've seen before.
Whether you believe in Baba Vanga or not, one thing is certain: The future will be shaped by how we use technology—and how it uses us.

Pope warns of AI risks to young brains
Vatican City: Pope Leo XIV warned on Friday of the potential consequences of artificial intelligence (AI) on the intellectual development of young people, saying it could damage their grip on reality. Since his election as head of the Catholic Church on May 8, the pope -- a mathematics graduate -- has repeatedly warned of the risks associated with AI but this is the first time he has spoken out exclusively on the subject. "All of us... are concerned for children and young people, and the possible consequences of the use of AI on their intellectual and neurological development," the American pope warned in a written message to participants at the second Rome Conference on AI. "No generation has ever had such quick access to the amount of information now available through AI. "But again, access to data -- however extensive -- must not be confused with intelligence," Leo told business leaders, policymakers and researchers attending the annual conference. While welcoming the use of AI in "enhancing research in healthcare and scientific discovery", the pope said it "raises troubling questions on its possible repercussions" on humanity's "distinctive ability to grasp and process reality". Pope Leo himself has been the target of deep fake videos and audio messages published on social media in recent weeks. An AFP investigation earlier this month identified dozens of YouTube and TikTok pages broadcasting AI-generated messages masquerading as genuine comments from the pope in English or Spanish. A survey from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism this week found significant numbers of young people in particular were using chatbots to get headlines and updates. The Catholic Church has attempted to influence ethical thinking surrounding the use of new technologies in recent years under Leo's predecessor Francis. In 2020, the Vatican initiated the Rome Call for AI Ethics -- signed by Microsoft, IBM, the United Nations, Italy and a host of universities -- urging transparency and respect for privacy.

Music streaming service Deezer adds AI song tags in fight against fraud
LONDON (AP) — Music streaming service Deezer said Friday that it will start flagging albums with AI-generated songs, part of its fight against streaming fraudsters. Deezer, based in Paris, is grappling with a surge in music on its platform created using artificial intelligence tools it says are being wielded to earn royalties fraudulently. The app will display an on-screen label warning about 'AI-generated content" and notify listeners that some tracks on an album were created with song generators. Deezer is a small player in music streaming, which is dominated by Spotify, Amazon and Apple, but the company said AI-generated music is an 'industry-wide issue.' It's committed to 'safeguarding the rights of artists and songwriters at a time where copyright law is being put into question in favor of training AI models," CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release. Deezer's move underscores the disruption caused by generative AI systems, which are trained on the contents of the internet including text, images and audio available online. AI companies are facing a slew of lawsuits challenging their practice of scraping the web for such training data without paying for it. According to an AI song detection tool that Deezer rolled out this year, 18% of songs uploaded to its platform each day, or about 20,000 tracks, are now completely AI generated. Just three months earlier, that number was 10%, Lanternier said in a recent interview. AI has many benefits but it also "creates a lot of questions" for the music industry, Lanternier told The Associated Press. Using AI to make music is fine as long as there's an artist behind it but the problem arises when anyone, or even a bot, can use it to make music, he said. Music fraudsters 'create tons of songs. They upload, they try to get on playlists or recommendations, and as a result they gather royalties,' he said. Musicians can't upload music directly to Deezer or rival platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. Music labels or digital distribution platforms can do it for artists they have contracts with, while anyone else can use a 'self service' distribution company. Fully AI-generated music still accounts for only about 0.5% of total streams on Deezer. But the company said it's 'evident" that fraud is 'the primary purpose" for these songs because it suspects that as many as seven in 10 listens of an AI song are done by streaming "farms" or bots, instead of humans. Any AI songs used for 'stream manipulation' will be cut off from royalty payments, Deezer said. AI has been a hot topic in the music industry, with debates swirling around its creative possibilities as well as concerns about its legality. Two of the most popular AI song generators, Suno and Udio, are being sued by record companies for copyright infringement, and face allegations they exploited recorded works of artists from Chuck Berry to Mariah Carey. Gema, a German royalty-collection group, is suing Suno in a similar case filed in Munich, accusing the service of generating songs that are 'confusingly similar' to original versions by artists it represents, including 'Forever Young' by Alphaville, 'Daddy Cool' by Boney M and Lou Bega's 'Mambo No. 5.' Major record labels are reportedly negotiating with Suno and Udio for compensation, according to news reports earlier this month. To detect songs for tagging, Lanternier says Deezer uses the same generators used to create songs to analyze their output. 'We identify patterns because the song creates such a complex signal. There is lots of information in the song,' Lanternier said. The AI music generators seem to be unable to produce songs without subtle but recognizable patterns, which change constantly. 'So you have to update your tool every day," Lanternier said. "So we keep generating songs to learn, to teach our algorithm. So we're fighting AI with AI.' Fraudsters can earn big money through streaming. Lanternier pointed to a criminal case last year in the U.S., which authorities said was the first ever involving artificially inflated music streaming. Prosecutors charged a man with wire fraud conspiracy, accusing him of generating hundreds of thousands of AI songs and using bots to automatically stream them billions of times, earning at least $10 million.
