Algorithm decides inheritance

Maybe a strange thought; inheritance ... in a Internet of things world. But imagine that people themselves do not have to determine, when a person dies, what happens to the inheritance. This is all done by an algorithm which is able to calculate the relationship between people and objects. The idea comes from Sures Kumar and has its origins in the book of science fiction author Bruce Sterling “Shaping Things”. This book describes a world in which everything is really connected with each other. This also means that software is able to analyze the relationship between humans and objects. Based on this, the idea arose of an algorithm able to determine which person has the best ‘relation’ with stuff from someone who is deceased. So this makes it possible that a piece of software could deal with the inheritance without human interference. A strange thought, but perhaps not so crazy, and it can prevent many domestic disputes because you cannot have an argument with software. At least that’s what we think. The Internet of things is in rapid development. Thus it is expected that over 50 billion objects are linked to each other by the year 2020. This is going to have a lot of far-reaching implications on everyday things like this example shows. Again Do you know any other interesting examples of possible future effects of the Internet of Things? More information: Sures Kumar​
