Sight: 5 Future Technology Innovations from IBM

Thanks! Share it with your friends!

Close

In 5 years, computers will not only be able to look at images, but understand them. Computers will be trained to turn pictures and videos into features, identifying things like color distribution, texture patterns, edge information and motion information. A pixel will be worth a thousand words. Every year IBM makes predictions about 5 technology innovations that stand to change the way we live within the next 5 years.

BULLSHIT!

TheNuiMaster says:

by cap all i meant was: is it really possible to travel faster than light or traverse time. traversing time backwards in time is obviously impossible, while einstein showed that time-viewing, is.

creating artificial intelligence, in my opinion, is core to understanding our own minds. sometimes to reverse engineer something you need the tool that you’re analyzing.

lifehole1 says:

Yes, but you cannot set or know a value a technology creates and see a rate at which all technologies advance. This would require a massive sociological and mathematical project, but other than this point, we agree on most of the same points.

I don’t feel like talking anymore, let’s just leave it at that.

TheNuiMaster says:

on a side not: that black liquid is precious carbon that needs to be recycled back into the biosphere eventually. while volcanoes and such do this naturally, more will also be created as the cycle of life and death continues. (how human’s will effect this i cannot say)

TheNuiMaster says:

you are entirely correct, but i would argue that such advancements drastically alter human living condition. imagine life without computers, life without electricity, live without metal, life without farms…
superstition and fear, as you have said about society, play a key role in what is developed or not. i cannot argue if this is will always be for the best in the case of cyborgs and such. (and advancements will probably be monopolized more/less for the quick buck of an investor…)

lifehole1 says:

There isn’t a cap, but a societal hindrance. We are not beings of pure logic that calculate at a single rate, and we have barely cracked the secrets of our own brain, let alone create and artificial or virtual version of it. Modify, prototype, and distribute is the fundamental core in improvement of tech, and until we can actually have a basis for human knowledge or a brain, who knows. We learn, but what are we constrained by? What problems will arise in creating a “learning” artificial brain? 

lifehole1 says:

that requires a dictation of the value of a technology or advancement, who says nuclear power is better than x, or x is 4x better than y.

Religious hindrance is the same thing as societal hindrance, therefore, society has an effect. If society is unwilling or unable to adapt at a certain rate, then it probably won’t until it is integrated, and believe me when I say that not everyone will want to become a virtual cyborg AI.

We have problems burning black liquid into the skies, let alone this.

TheNuiMaster says:

*continuation* it’s not developing at a constant rate, but rapid changes to technology become more frequent the more advanced the civilization already is. nobody knows for certain where the cap is…

TheNuiMaster says:

yea, damn religious hindrance xD my point being, is that tech has, on average, developed on a relatively exponential scale. Kardashev’s scale of civilizations for example. the thing is, it took humanity thousands of years to develop basic farming, a few thousand to develop industry after that, and then hundreds to manipulate nuclear and electric energy – then decades after that we have computers and basic space travel.

lifehole1 says:

Once we have a working and functioning simulation of a neocortex and frontal lobe, you come back.

And technological growth is not exponential, tell that to the dark ages or times of unrest, it is not a constant and is contrained by human endeavors.

It may be exponential sometimes, other times, not at all, or even backwards.

TheNuiMaster says:

it’s entirely possible. the human brain is merely the sum of its parts. the fact that technology advancement scales exponentially means that yes, we dont know when we will develop something, but we will be able to replicate everything we see in the world around us eventually. we already have artificial leaves that replicate photosynthesis for example. the trick with advanced AI is to replicate pain in my opinion

lifehole1 says:

30 years? Hah. No, true Artificial Intelligence is atleast 60 years away, and assimilation into digital sentience is even further, if any of these are even possible.

shadowtank48 says:

thus. Skynet was born.

WeRunBrands says:

You can basically see why IBM is one of the top five brands in the world.

Ricky Zhang says:

Why not say in 30 years human beings will be destroyed by robots? Or replaced by computers? Won’t that be a much clearer and better world? Or it would become a worse place than now?

davidsdiego says:

Great insight!

Caleb Skurdal says:

Michio Kaku talks about computers sensing health changes in a person; in his book Physics of the future; and responding appropriately (e.g. scheduling an appointment with a doctor). Like the Star Trek, tricorder.

RheeKeunwoo says:

To make this function realize, need mass data which is analyzed by parts and recognized as some thing..Right? Thanks for your speech.

ArtificialPenguins says:

You’re stupid, do you know that?

Avanging Angel says:

Prisoners of Technology…coming soon.

Alberto Perez says:

in 5 years this video will be 5 years old

Dadude0908 says:

you are funny hahahahahahahaha

Andy WEI says:

Do you want this? Do you believe this?

John Waters says:

Especially since photos of today are digital, this innovation will be coming sooner than later. You know your favorite ad company is poring money into this technology.

MrClaysta says:

these videos are fantastically optimistic.

WVI says:

Basically,

Arnobie OOI says:

This is great. This will require great battery life and chips with minimal heat.

Ziah Geo says:

cognitive computing, sounds like Star Trek
